Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by activist, Twitch pro and all round treasure from Scotland PICKLEBEE aka BETH DOUGLAS!You may have seen the word Twitch just there and perhaps figured that this would be a podcast all about Twitch. Dear listener this is indeed not the case, and to ignore on that basis is to ignore an extremely fascinating, deep and also FUN chat with the wonderful Picklebee! It's a pretty far and wide ranging one, which goes into Beth's own history and experience of being a trans person in this wild world, activism and politics - Scottish and otherwise, JK Rowling's eerily unquenchable thirst for losing out loud, the mostly safe-space of Twitch and harbouring a community on there, social media and also the origins of the name Picklebee which I'm sure you're curious about... Folks, if you are unfamiliar with Picklebee, this is literally your invitation to make a new friend, hand delivered to your door. Open and enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by multi-appearance trophy holder but most importantly, wide ranging awesome actor, JOHN BRADLEY!The acting part is of course more important than the amount of appearances but it's nice to know that John has a home at Distraction Pieces. With the massive Netflix show 'Three Body Problem' making all kinds of waves of late, it's good to catch him on yet another ascent into the stratosphere but also really cool to hear how things have been going since the last time. And indeed, since the beginning of the acting career. A joy as always, as John's friendly voice takes you through all sorts of elements encountered in the world of cinema and television, including his range of roles, exposure to new waves of audiences, Game Of Thrones, pretending, growing through experience, and all sorts more. A delight - enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by comic, host, podcaster and writer SUZI RUFFELL!Those of you thinking "Wait, has Suzi not been on yet?" would be forgiven in an instant, as yes indeed you would have thought a Suzi appearance would have been completed by now. But no! Through sheer schedule alignment and dates and such like, it's only been possible at this point so without focusing on the past too much, let's jump into the now and enjoy Suzi in the present! It's a great episode as you would expect, which handles a huge amount including social media, process, gathering material, Bake Off, womens football, podcasting and so much more. A very welcome appearance and the first of many, we hope! Enjoy Suzi!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMPODCASTSTOURSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined for a second time by the zen master actor ED SKREIN!Dedicated listeners will remember the refrain of Ed's original appearance on here - "Why the fuck not?" - a mantra that will hopefully have provided a nice ass-kicking to get things done, or motivation to make some things happen. Well here is the very cool, calm and collected Ed back again to chat about so much but somewhat centrally revolving around the actorial sciences. They have a bunch of shared ground, and it's really nice to hear what Ed's been up to since that initial appearance, and what life has looked like since the beginning of the journey back in 2010 or so. A huge amount of ground that cannot be synopsised here so just jump in and trust that you'll enjoy the ride. And peep the first appearance if you missed it too!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBINSTAGRAMTWITTERREBEL MOONI USED TO BE FAMOUSED ON DPP EP 94 Part 1ED ON DPP EP 94 Part 2SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by return awesome guest, comic, podcaster and author SOFIE HAGEN!A fantastic meeting of minds for second time round, as Pip catches up with Sofie to talk about all things that have happened since the first go around! Although it's very fair to say that a good amount of chat is devoted to their new book 'Will I Ever Have Sex Again?', which is some essential reading for a huge amount of people. More people than Sofie initially thought, in fact. So expect some goodness including social expectations, writing a book on a subject that you don't see books about, messy relationships, gender and sexuality and 'the club'. You'll get it.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by YOU! The listeners... It's an April 2024 edition of ASK PIP!I wouldn't dare blow the spot on what you're about to hear BUT - just so you're aware of what zones might get a look-in, you can expect to hear topics including: actor pay and how much some get, teacakes vs hot cross buns, casting historically, Shogun, The Scroobius and how 2024 could see the Summer Of Scroobius (for quick reference for the drinkers among you, it's Pepsi Max mixed with Slingsbury Gin), hot sandwiches, and MCCS Superspies. It's like a solo sober Drunkcast. ENJOY!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by friend and comrade in music and life, B. DOLAN!You will have surely heard if not every appearance from B on here, then at least the previous one which went into what life has looked like for him since the pandemic. In a nutshell, it's been a period of immense and continued re-invention and almost re-introduction to the world at large, coming out of surgery and therapy which was necessary to avoid life changing injury. Chances are that a lot of you will know B from rap music and tours over the years, and a lot might know him from Twitch, but either way (and if neither, too!), you're in for a sureshot as he and Pip catch up on life, music, album making, tours and how that looks these days, yoga, the world itself on the whole, and outlooks. Enjoy, and peep the rest of the of the past appearances too - it's a hell of an arc.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMTWITTERBANDCAMPPATREONROOTS SPECIALTY YOGA (US)CENTRED SPIRIT YOGA (UK)SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the positive ray of musical light that is BOBBY VYLAN!Speaking of rays of light, the Bobby Vylan album 'Humble As The Sun' comes out on April 5th, so keep that on your agenda. As you know with Distraction Pieces and the work Pip does / has done, the conversations usually dip in and out of music and acting (but not limited too, of course) - and this week, we have a wonderful chat with Bobby of the band of the same name, which goes into the music but also into the very soil from which the music comes... The physical, political and mental landscape, the world around us, and where we're all going. A fascinating conversation which will be of immediate interest to BV fans but also anyone and everyone who is yet to become acquainted. And for those folks, this is the perfect way in.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by UK acting treasure WUNMI MOSAKU!Proper acting business right here with this episode - this is total nectar for those who appreciate the visual arts and the world of TV and cinema. Wunmi has been holding it down on the acting circuit for a minute, having worked through the ranks of television staples and home favourites, leading all the way up to heavyweight movie work and huge series. We're talking Marvel Comic Universe by way of Loki, for one. But you will likely have seen Wunmi in the ace Lovecraft Country, Black Mirror, or heard Wunmi in the VERY worth tracking down Scavnegers Reign. So enjoy this one - it goes to some enriching and nourishing places, and is essential listening obviously for Wunmi heads, but also those who appreciate the craft and deep chats around it.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureLOKIHIS HOUSELOVECRAFT COUNTRYIMDBINSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE
