Live from the Edinburgh Fringe - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #109
Welcome, welcome, and as custom dictates, a third welcome upon you to the on-the-road globetrotting (UK-trotting) Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This marks your second live book tour podcast, this time broadcasting live (at the time) from Stand 3 in Edinburgh!Treats upon treats upon treats is what you have, with a nice intro holler from Pip, and a traditional DPP setup with some grand guest chat - this time from SAGE FRANCIS and B DOLAN no less! The Strange Famous brothers settle down with Pip to run down the current state of US politics, Edinburgh Fringe politics, and life politics in general. Awesome business. Following that we have the audience-as-guest section where the chat is directed by YOU (THEM - the audience) (it could have been you though, as you may well have been one of the guests), and much ground is covered as always, from spoken word and poetry (pottery?) and the slam scene, previous guests, super powers, and ending up in a really important and interesting revelation/self...

Another handful of welcomes all over your podcast listening device as we welcome you to the final part of the DrunkCast trilogy, in episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast!More treats in store over here from start to end as the gang have now warmed into their seats and are all comfortable and relaxed in their respective drunken stupors.

DrunkCast (Mk4) - Part 2 - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #107
Welcome (((welcome))) (((welcome))) (used an echo on that one) to PART 2 of DRUNKCAST PART 4 which is EPISODE 107 of the Distraction Pieces podcast! Enough with the numbers. Let's get into it.A pretty powerful and actually rather sobering talk about suicide straight off the bat, which is ultimately uplifting and very honest and refreshing, which melts into topics including Caroline Aherne and how she touched on the UK's funny/thoughtful/melancholy nerve so well, film talk in general, Chris's fictional dog (classic material) and a charming tale involving the all engulfing force which is Jedward. All will be revealed. Top up and get in.*slight misophonia warning - items get crunched at various points so stick it out, it's not that bad... Hosted on Acast.

DrunkCast (Mk4) - Part 1 - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #107
You can go right ahead and multiply that welcome by 3, ladies and gentlemen, for this is episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast - but not only that - listen very closely and you'll hear a bottle being struck open and a can going >KSHHH< in the distance - it's another DrunkCast!This is the fourth time we join Pip, Stu and Chris down in the Whiff Inn (Stu's pub - surname Whiffen - you get it), and it's textbook goodness from the inebriated gang as always and it's only part 1! First of all, go and find Limp Bizkit's 'Break Stuff', put it on repeat, and sit back as we join in on a good hour or so of MMA / UFC banter, famous/infamous tribute acts, Pip's favourite film Say Anything, a heavy and rough vehicular run-in on a dark night in London, a very touching Glastonbury (which I think Chris missed a trick on by not referring to it as 'Glassonbury' but, there we go) and the Queen on high Cyndi Lauper.ALSO - listen to the podcast for the question, BUT address your answers to #SAYDRUNKCAST.

3 X WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND SIX of the HD ready, 4K, 3D and fully rendered Distraction Pieces Podcast featuring one of the long term members of the Scroobius Pip army who you are about to become very acquainted with - it's Thomas Coles!A wonderful directors commentary style chat with Pip and Tom, going from their first visual transmissions right up the very recent work (and from the Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip days up to the solo Pip music) - and this is only part 1... A fascinating look behind the scenes, literally, including the gear they used, techniques to get the best out of everyone on set and all the lessons you learn along the way in making videos in a refreshingly hands-on and DIY way.

Jordan Stephens (Rizzle Kicks) - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #105
Welcome / Welcome / Welcome aboard to episode number 105 of the absolutely goddamn fabulous Distraction Pieces Podcast, with your host Scroobius Pip who is joined this week by Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks!A fantastic session with Jordan, half of the UK's massive hip hop band who had crazy huge success a handful of years back (and continue to, naturally) who you will surely have heard on radios and TV and at festivals all over the globe. Rizzle Kicks live on, and you will hear some of the forthcoming plans on here of course, but join Pip and Jordan as you hear his own side of the story, a side which reveals the full on grind behind chart success and how it is not just handed to you on a platter... We join the chat on an awesome tangent about fame and what it is and the whys and whos therein, and from there on the journey is fascinating, deep and honest - Jordan's story through Brighton's hip hop underground, his background in music, he and Pip's shared acting careers and their slightly differing...

James Acaster - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #104
Welcome, welcome, and as standard here is your third welcome, to the humbly magnificent Distraction Pieces Podcast! Episode 104 would you believe... Goddamn... Prepare yourselves for another heavy hitting good'un as Pip is joined by none other than UK comedy titan and overlord James Acaster!Are 'titan' and 'overlord' too strong to throw around like that? Nah. The man with the strong 'A' at the start of his surname (and partial sharer of the name of the platform you might be listening upon right now) is in the DPP studios to bring forth pure goodness on your ears, sharing his take on all things comedy (UK and otherwise), his modest entry into the comedy scene and how he went from awesomely named band to awesomely named band until he broke good into comedy, his Edinburgh Fringe experiences (from bad to very very good), and way deeper into his ongoing comedy hours and the themes, dreams and schemes therein. Too much science and wisdom to be synopsised in this description - just dive on in and live it won't... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
