Once, twice, and thrice WELCOME to episode 82 of the wicked and the divine Distraction Pieces Podcast, featuring comic book writer and illustrator supremes Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie!Pure nerd heaven and comic book bliss right here, as Pip chats with the pair of comic book heroes (in a more physical real world sense) about their own origin stories, previous work (of which there is a LOT to dig through), their current projects including - of course - 'The Wicked + The Divine' (which you will surely have seen gracing many book shelves and displays around town on any given day), and influences (including but certainly not limited to Warren Ellis among others). Ah, so much more. Jump in and drift away on this one - comic book heaven for ya this week... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WELCOME / WELCOME / WELCOME to episode 81 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, featuring drug policy writer and LEAP.org co-ordinator Jason Reed!Maybe you are unfamiliar with Jason, but prepare for all that to change over the course of his chat with Pip. Watch his documentary 'The Culture High' now or later (it'll surely happen one way or another), and join in on this enlightening chat touching on his extensive drug-based blog work, the greater global drug issues/wars/laws, and just SO much fascinating information on all the facets of the drugs which surround us and our daily life. When you've listened to this you will certainly be well versed in way more than you bargained for - ENJOY. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to episode 80 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, and the first guest of 2016 - it's Robin Ince!A thoroughly engaging chat with Pip and Robin, covering bases which you would expect (and demand) from someone so well versed in comedy writing and performance - everything from his comedy origin story entangled with Ricky Gervais through to performing in Edinburgh and the issues therein, and of course his prolific podcasting output which includes his amazing 'Infinite Monkey Cage' show (with the also awesome Brian Cox). Oh there's tons more, get involved! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Three welcomes upon you and good on you for returning for MORE - here is your second and final part of episode 79 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast!Picture Pip pacing back and forth in his deluxe cottage out there in Stanford Le Hope, little bobble hat balanced immaculately upon his domepiece with some deluxe beard adornments jingling with every footstep (more on those later...), asking himself question after question submitted by the good folks out there (maybe some of y'all), and answering them with all the might he can muster... Ladies and gentlemen, spend some time with your intrepid host and bask in that warm homely glow that is the second half of episode 79 - Better Call Pip! Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 78 of the battered, bruised and all disheveled Distraction Pieces podcast! Welcome aboard to 2016!Same crew (Chris of Redshift Rebels, Stu of Pink Toothbrush/We.Are.Lizards and the Pip the boss), different year - this is the final instalment of the roundup of 2015, and since the booze intake has been steady throughout all five episodes, you can expect some good back and forths and fancy footwork as standard! Actually it's not quite as sloppy as you may imagine. A good share of previous Distraction Pieces episode recommendations, some good old fashioned reminiscing on the awesome and awful, and a very much more detailed Pip-solo disclaimer at the start which almost serves as its own podcast. Heavy stuff. Let us start as we mean to most certainly not go on! A new year salute to all, and thank you as ever for your support and ears - much love from the Distraction Pieces Podcast!
