Tom Rosenthal - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #103
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome (threw you a bonus one there, that's for you) to Distraction Pieces Podcast episode 103! Another slammer this week, featuring actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal!Following a good long intro from Pip about the forthcoming Distraction Pieces book and his book tour dates (go here for more: http://www.scroobiuspip.co.uk/blog/), we have a lovely and lively chat with Pip and the talked-out but snacked-up Tom, who breaks down the elements of where he's at now and where he's headed, including - of course - the UK comedy smash 'Friday Night Dinner', his comic career and approach/outlook (and whether 'Jewish-' is a relevant prefix for 'comedian'), his time spent owning student comedy competitions and tournaments and what they're all about, and of course his unfiltered love for football - which may or may not have stemmed from his commentator father Jim Rosenthal... That could play into it... Uplifting stuff, go ahead and enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DrunkCast (Mk3) - Part 4 - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #101
A slightly maudlin and melancholy WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to you all as we enter the fourth and final quarter of this epic DrunkCast session... It's been a powerful and revealing few hours with the gentlemen and I'm sure we've all come out of this stronger, fuller and more complete than before we began. This is episode 101 - part 4 - of the Distraction Pieces Podcast!Your pals Chris Glasson (Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards), Stu Whiffen (Pink Toothbrush, Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards) and your host Scroobius Pip (tons of stuff) are back for the last hour or so of good, solid chatter fuelled by all manner of exotic booze, stumbling on all kinds of subjects including the awesome immersive cinematic experience that is Secret CInema, some deep boxing and MMA business, the gawd Brian Gittins and his universe, topped off with some very awesome roundup talk which is a fine and actually very mature way to end such a drunken few hours in the Whiff Inn. Wonderful stuff. Free flowing and very entertaining.I think I... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You should really. It's only polite.LET'S GO CHAMP!!!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dan Le Sac (part 1) - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #100
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to EPISODE ONE HUNDRED of the now centenarian Distraction Pieces Podcast! By now Scroobius Pip will have received his letter from the Queen (very interested to know when she's on the podcast, that'll be ace), and enjoying a celebratory non-hot beverage, so let's all celebrate along with the DPP master and welcome his long term music making partner and long awaited guest MISTER DAN LE SAC!!!It's a long awaited one as people have been understandably hassling since the very first episode and asking when it will happen, but as you will hear it made a lot of sense to let some time pass since their last gig and release until they sat down and had a good old fashioned catch up and run-down of their incredible career as the almighty Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip! The chat went on for so long, as you would imagine, that this is a two parter. In this episode we catch up properly with Dan, and what he has been up to since 'RRR' (Repent, Replenish, Repeat), his current gaming activity over on... Hosted on Acast.

Naturally there is some good Ricky Gervais talk ('Derek' and so much more), UK comedy science as we hear from David and how Brian Gittins happened, and of course their new combined project 'Rovers'! So much. A full on entertainment showdown. Get the hell... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
