Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to YOU - and three times welcomed you are to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, episode 156 at that! A proper filfy drum n' bass banger right here this week too as Pip is joined FINALLY after a long bout of scheduling and planning by the one and only, the Metalhead himself, the UK's national drum & bass treasure - Goldie!"The barbarians from within will raise their heads and rise the deities..." ...and that's one single quote from this absolutely ram packed and intense juggernaught rollercoaster of an episode, as Pip white-knuckles the railing and hold on for dear life as the whirlwind rolls through town and demolishes all in its path! The whirlwind being Goldie, that is. I'm sure you gathered that. Finding his home out in Phuket these days, the path has been rocky, full on, winding and incredible and Goldie has lived through it all - the raves, the graf days out in the Bronx, early days of techno, being a household name in what they used to call 'intelligent drum & bass' with his smash hit 'Inner City Life', a rugged divorce, heavy personal life events including the passing of his mother, and every single second underpinned by his unending appetite for his craft and music making. A fantastic and thrilling ride of an episode, which will make you want to dig out the back catalogue and reminisce over the past while waiting for his new album 'The Journey Man' to download... As Goldie put it himself; "There are no full stops in my life... At all..."Oh and wait for the American and German accents later on.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back to PART 2 of episode 155 of DPP (as we can call it now since you're all familiar from part 1) with Scroobius Pip! How great was part 1 eh? Well find that comfortable spot with your nominated listening apparatus from a few hours ago and prepare to be doubly satisfied as you enjoy the second part with CHRISTOPHER FAIRBANK!So much goodness, as Christopher gets deep into the acting science with past and previous, and rounds up this episode with some phenomenal tales from the sets of the original Tim Burton 'Batman' and David Fincher's 'Alien 3'... Those anecdotes alone could well make their own episodes, some crazy business by the sounds of things! Absolute madness. Besides that, there's a ton more to uncover, with personal philosophies, morals, experiences, lessons, so much to ensure that you keep checking for Christopher's work from here on out and back into the past. Amazing stuff from a true stage and screen veteran.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 155 of the fresh, fly, wild and bold DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST with Scroobius Pip! Hopefully you have found a comfortable spot and your phone is fully charged, or at least at like 35% minimum or thereabouts (or your iPod or however you go about your business), and you are ready for a grand double part dose of goodness as Pip is joined by acting heavyweight Christopher Fairbank!With a rich and varied career in front of the camera, Clavering's own Christopher obviously has a ton of tales to share and good lord you're gonna get some here... He and Pip find time to sit down and "set the chat among the pigeons" (word to Alan Partridge) and get down and dirty in the earlier years of Christopher's life. While he has many a tale to tell about the acting side of things, you'll love his rundown of his early life and growing up - a full on cinematic narrative in itself, combining boarding schools, smoking at an insanely early age, discovering acting instincts on stage through...

Welcome welcome welcome to your 154th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! And that is an actual factual statement as Pip has been on each and every one, without fail, sometimes more than once a week at that. So it's actually MORE than 154 really... But anyway - let's get down to business. Another wonderful actor-based chat this week as Pip sits down with one of Liverpool's finest Mr NEIL FITZMAURICE, actor, comedian, writer and more!Neil and Pip find themselves working alongside one another currently on a new film called 'Walk Like A Panther' (which has been announced so this can be referred to by name!), and make use of the canteen on-set to have a full on, broad-ranging and hugely entertaining discussion covering the whole lot - politics and the current electoral situation, the Hillsborough tragedy which hit Neil very personally and comprehensively in a number of ways, his upbringing and early life where his playwright seeds were sewn, right up to his acting career which found...

Welcome. Welcome. And you know what? You've earned it. Welcome. Now we're done with the formalities, consider yourself appropriately welcomed to your ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THIRD episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! One fiddy three. Imagine that. In a drastic change to last week's solo spoken word episode, Pip has some real life company this week, and as such this is a truly golden episode - ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the shining ray of light that is Sofia Boutella!One of those incredibly inspirational episodes where the conversation really drives through some lovely terrain, and you'll enjoy where this journey takes you for real. Sofia is currently all over the place (as Pip witnessed via the medium of the good old American billboard) with her new blockbuster 'The Mummy' on release (co-starring some fella whose first name is Tom, that's all the info we have at this point), but you may well know her from her varied work in 'Star Trek', 'Kingsman', and killing it in an...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 152 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! In a slight alteration to the usual proceedings to which we have all become so accustomed, the guest this week is SCROOBIUS PIP his goddamn self!Working with the formula of such Speech Development Records releases such as 'At Home With Polar' (Polarbear) or 'At Home With Rob' (Rob Auton), Pip sat down in his temporary residence up in Los Angeles and recorded a selection of his poems read from his book 'Poetry In (e)Motion', the graphic poetry novel released all the way back in 2010. Pip's been crazy busy with all manner of podcast and acting related activity of late, over the past couple of years in fact, so this is a very cool opportunity to sit in with your host and indulge in some non 'Ask Pip' episode company for a change! No spoilers as to what you'll be treated to here, but it's a fantastic episode and a different one to usual. It's a goody for the original Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip heads, the solo Pip...

Welcome welcome welcome to episode 151 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Very happy to have you aboard. This week is a straight up New Yorican banger, as Pip is joined by the infamous, the notorious, the Fun Lovin' Criminal himself Mister Huey Morgan!A long awaited one right here, as Pip has forged a friendship with Huey over the years so a chat was always on the cards between these two. From his days misbehaving in New York back in the day (now currently causing havoc in Somerset!), to joining the Marines and channeling his inner aggression into more positive areas, to bartending and setting up a band which would later lead to an illustrious music career, all peppered with real life madness - living through 9/11, a standoff with a Hanson member (and close relation), and that appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Huey is a powerful presence in the music industry and whether you've been down since Fun Lovin' Criminals or picked up on him through his 6 Music show, you'll get a lot out... Hosted on Acast.

And by way of thanks - enjoy this marvelous episode of golf talk with the long awaited guest ANDREW 'BEEF' JOHNSTON!He didn't receive the nickname from a love of beef, or for that matter for having beef with anyone (as you'll hear, it's hard to imagine him having beef with anyone in the world), but from - ahh, you'll have to hear for yourself now won't ya... A lovely chat from a truly loveable character who you may know, and of course may not - either way, as with the Distraction Pieces code, its not about the popularity in the grand media scheme of things, but what kind of interview Pip...
