Rob Delaney • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #578
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the brilliant comic, writer, actor and author ROB DELANEY!
Rob's presence was really made clear back in the glory days of the innocent social media platform Twitter, when such activities felt more playful and fun, and podcasting was still formulating and developing. Since then he's truly made it obvious why such a presence is necessary, as a wearer of many hats in the comic-leaning section of the greater media world. You'll hear about Rob's more recent projects, including his character development in Deadpool & Wolverine, his book where he writes openly about dearly departed son Henry, social media, the NHS, politics (where do you start) and so much more - a delicate balance of fun and moving which will really enrich your listening day. Enjoy.

The Acolyte & H.O.T.D. Special (w/Chris) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #577
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip chats acting in THE ACOLYTE and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, acompanied by Hardcore Listing homie CHRIS GLASSON!
It might have been tricky for Pip to interview himself to talk about recent acting roles in two of the biggest franchises in media history (Star Wars and Game Of Thrones EVER HEARD OF THEM), so he has enlisted the help of fellow podcasting pal and general pal Chris from Hardcore Listing to do the honours. It's a great little chat from a side of the curtain we don't always get to see behind, and definitely a couple of roles worth stopping to observe and celebrate. Enjoy this awesome conversation about how the whole thing went down, progressed and wrapped up. ENJOY! And be sure to catch all said programs on the links below.

Steven Ogg • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #576
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined once more by acting pal and all round beam of light STEVEN OGG!
A repeat showing from friend of the show and acting / performing heavyweight Steven, who always brings forth a tide of positivity and inspiration on the show. A very fun and cosy gathering as he and Pip get to chatting about acting, the sciences behind the whole thing in all degrees of detail, his new book of poetry 'Catharse-Is', collaborating and performance and getting together to create in the same room, accents, death, and what sounds like an escape room in the studio they're recording in. All good stuff, and a ton for you to enjoy be you long term fan of Steven or newcomer to the party.

Steve Stamp & Allan Seapa Mustafa • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #575
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by two of the crew behind People Just Do Nothing (and tons more) STEVE STAMP & ALLAN 'SEAPA' MUSTAFA!
The 'tons more' on the above description is holding up a bunch of heavy material of course, as they do MUCH that deserves attention and commentary. Pip has a good history with the Kurupt FM crew having had them on in various guises in previous episodes, and this one is a reduced but no less awesome gathering. Hear the two chat about all sorts including their Sunday Brunch appearance, The Curse, People Just Do Nothing, Peacock and all the various projects they've undertaken, chemistry with actors, 'scenes of an intimate nature', Top Boy, self-made mythologies, ah just about everything. So much enjoyment - jump right in.

Stevie Martin • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #574
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fabulous comic (stage and sketch), writer and podcaster STEVIE MARTIN!
A glorious comical conversation with Pip and Stevie, who is someone to keep up with in the current comedy scene for real. You can actually make a start on that this year if you're in Edinburgh at the Fringe so be alert for that! Stevie made a huge name around the pandemical times via some inspired and hilarious sketch work (often in collaboration with the awesome Lola-Rose Maxwell), but it was more like a natural phenomenon that was waiting to happen. Stevie's been on the grind for a while now and this chat hints at the hard work involved, including building of audiences, podcasting, Fringe madness, journalism, sketch writing and directing, the online forest, ad work, ComComPod, and so much more. Truly enjoyable, catch up with Stevie and enjoy!

Customer Reviews
WHAT BLIMMING SKILL DISCOVERY THIS IS EH!?
I played thou shalt always kill to death In 2022. Had no idea about who was behind it. Years ago I’d been mesmerised by Taboo, not knowing this dood was inside it.
Stumbled upon this pod by an accident jus before chrimbo.
Instant love.
So much enthusiasm, sincerity and compassion.
The guests ain half bad an’all! I mean, bluddy Paddy Considine? Come on!
Get onto Pip by Dickenses!
Says Russ
Great conversations
I love the honesty with which Pip does this podcast. He tells you at the start that ratings are how he gets revenue and is able to do this for us for free, no hidden agendas . The pod is unedited and is a rolling coversation from someone who has done research into his guest as well as being genuinely interested in them. always catches me out when he says we are at the one hour mark so we better start wrappjng things up. It only feels like ten minutes to me.
Add it to your listening list
Distraction Pieces
Kind, insightful, interesting and heartfelt interviews. Such a joy to listen to.
