Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic excellence and ace human being JOSH PUGH ! One of those geniunely organic episodes which seems to form from the ground up and find a rhythm and pace all of its own. A lovely look into the mind of Josh, who specialises in comedy and standup but with a very social approach, which feels like it stems from his work in the social sector over the years. That comes up later which is fascinating and really great to hear about, but expect to hear everything from the other points of his life, including his recent Fringe work in progress run, to the origins and roots in comedy, vision impairment, social media, people who "crack the algorithm" and all the other things it takes to be a part of the comedy world. Great stuff, and very inspiring. Enjoy! ALSO - Pip indicates this in the intro but just in case, there's a little 5 minute bonus with Blindboy around halfway through the ep. All will make sense. And it's much fun.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by dancehall champion and superstar reggae musician SHAGGY ! Very broadly speaking, a lot of you will know Shaggy as Mr Boombastic, or the guy who did Oh Carolina and It Wasn't Me. But dig a little deeper and there are worlds of releases and shows and all sorts of stories from the past that are just too exciting and interesting to pass up on... And that's what makes this last minute convo with Pip and Shaggy so awesome! It's the stories behind the hits that are amazing, and the historical signifigance of them too. But in that world, of course there will be all kinds of run-ins, collabos, tales and amazing anecdotes, and Shaggy delivers on all counts. So whether you're a full on dancehall reggae appreciator or someone who remembers the name, don't miss this one - it's super entertaining and a fascinating trip from start to end.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by rapper, podcaster, producer, showmaker and all round multi-hyphenate OPEN MIKE EAGLE ! This one's what they call a kinda 'special request' episode, where - to break the 4th wall - I (Buddy ✌🏼) suggested to Pip about getting Mike on again. Mike's been on before but YEARRRS ago and while his episode is obviously well worth checking, this is the more up to date one being a good 8 years after! And so much has happened in those years... New albums, a podcast network containing a bunch of series of awesome podcasts, a show, Twitch, a pandemic, and to quote Mike, "anime, trauma and divorce". Not all of these are in this episode but ya know, it all goes in the stew somewhere doesn't it. A lovely episode and Mike's always a treat - expect a good old fashioned catch up with many tangents within. ENJOY! And listen to all the stuff - and Mike's on Patreon too, links are below >>> DON'T FORGET PIP ON PATREON if you're of a supporting nature BANDCAMP INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE TWITTER ALL THE LINKS SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCH SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER SCROOBIUS PIP on PATREON SCROOBIUS PIP on IMDB POD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined for the second time in many years by comic star and friend of the show JOSIE LONG ! It's been a bunch of years since Josie last joined the Distraction Pieces Podcast, and only through reasons of busy-ness and life's carousel is it that we haven't seen a return for a bit. Well it's a welcome reunion as, with all reunion episodes, so much life has happened in the interviening years. Josie's now a 2x mother, and has had a film out (both incidents we are brought up to speed on), but there's a bunch of other bits and pieces too. Existential and present, political and social, interior and exterior, neurotypical and neurodiverse, and swimming! Prepare to catch up on all of it, as Josie brings the uniquely great energy and green lights to the table. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the truly fabulous acting star SASHA LANE ! By now you will have surely seen at least one of Sasha's starring roles in Loki, American Honey, How To Blow Up A Pipeline or presently The Crowded Room - but if not, you'll absolutely want to go and check on what Sasha's up to after hearing this chat. While mainly focusing on the matter at hand which is the last two projects (Pipeline and Crowded, for brevity), you'll hear a ton about Sasha's process, working relationships and working boundaries, and all that comes with the work on screen. There's such a lot happening on said screen and behind the scenes so it's great to get an honest perspective on things, which is what Sasha truly delivers. * BUDDY NOTE! The sound on Sasha's side is a little tricky sometimes and at worst, a little hard to make out. I've done a fair job and retained what I could, but this was the only option we had - luckily our ears are tough little things and can get used to this sort of stuff, but apologies for a slightly less easy listen than you've become accustomed to. Just wanted to let you know that's all.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the Grimsby comic legend LLOYD GRIFFITH ! You'll know Lloyd from hus various outings and aboutings, and maybe more prominently from Soccer AM - but that is far from the extent of Lloyd's talents of course. You might catch him out on the road casually tearing down arenas with Jack Whitehall, of which you'll hear all about right here - including some very pertinent thoughts on the actual realistics of playing huge venues as opposed to smaller ones. In fact you'll hear a lot of this, various thoughts and perspectives on comedy and the behind the scenes of it all that you don't really hear a lot of. There's also some very interesting Edinburgh Fringe stuff too which offers a lot that you might not hear in the usual spots. And community, and football. Anyway - enjoy it all, and if you don't know Lloyd yet, as always with Distraction Pieces, prepare to make a new pal. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the amazing action superstar POM KLEMENTIEFF ! An absolute treat of an episode as we meet Pom in full fighting form, ready for a full on packed conversation branching out onto so much of her inspiring career but leaving enough for next time too! Basically - the surface is scratched but the iceberg has much below the surface, to smash a couple of metaophors together. Pom's been involved in a lot of cinema and always delivers huge performances, obviously including Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, but along with the Guardians films, Suicide Squad, Westworld and loads more. Everything including process, hopes and dreams, basketball games with Spike Lee, working with Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise, and SO much more. Seriously - if you don't know Pom yet, get to know.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the excellent and always funny comic RHYS JAMES ! You'll have encountered Rhys on a variety of TV goodies over the years, and surely have caught a live show or two along the way, but this is a perfect chance to join in on a catch up with he and Pip in good old fashioned podcast form. It's a great one which branches out onto all sorts of tangents as a good podcast is known to do, from process, to live shows, to the eternal conflict of the advertsing dollar versus artistic integrity, to the Fringe, to the effects of blowing up on TV and how it shapes an audience, and just about everything in between. A proper in depth one and super fun, and lovely to hear Rhys quoting Pip tracks along the way too! Who could be mad at that. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is flying solo to bring you some cinematic hits and favourites for PRIDE FILM CLUB ! A straight from the heart celebration of queer joy and cinema for this episode, folks. I'm sure this goes without saying but if this presents an issue for you, we might suggest proceeding with an open heart to broaden to your love for humanity. But failing that - with all due respect - this isn't really the home for you. As with Pip's sibling podcasts for the Films Of The Year, these picks of the LGBTQ+ variety are from Pip, and not speaking for every single person, nor are they selections that dismiss all other cinema! But they will definitely provide you with a wonderful dip into the rainbow of film that's out there and has been operating for maybe longer than you might think. Some you will know, maybe some you won't, but keep a writing utensil handy as there isn't a list for this - you're gonna have to follow along, old skool style. Enjoy and be well, and Happy Pride to you all!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic, author and actor BRIDGET CHRISTIE ! A really lovely chat and catch up (and missing piece of the long-term Distraction Pieces puzzle) with Pip and Bridget, which comes at a perfect time in sync with Bridget's new series on Channel 4 'The Change'. You'll hear all about the amazing process of getting it off the ground and what else is involved in getting pitches picked and developed (it's a side of the industry which is by no means an easy world), but in hearing about The Change you'll also get a perfect insight into the greater universe of Bridget and where she's at currently. It's all a perfect confluence and meeting of a lot of experience, life and timing, and the timing is all pretty much perfect it seems. Enjoy this awesome and very inspiring conversation and do not miss The Change on Channel 4!
