FRANK TURNER (Campfire Punkrock / Tape Deck Heart / Undefeated) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Frank Turner, originally episode 287 from 2019-09-11. Original writeup below: …and about time too, as it’s been over 250 episodes since they last had a proper chat! As you can hear, the gap immediately disappears as they pick up effortlessly and gain quick ground about what’s been happening in their lives in the interim. Expect to hear all about the Frank Turner years, moving with ease through such topics as the parallels of touring and wedding organisation, the effects of extensive touring on a person’s life, the blowout cycle and mental health, tour PTSD and habit forming, the perils of talking about fame while being very self aware, cultural satnav and tour hacks, “grebos”, the plus side of the internet in terms of hunting for music, gateway bands, festival thoughts, the punk and non-punk ethos of opening for anyone, and most importantly - his 8TH SOLO ALBUM! With that comes his newfound respect for podcasters, the issue of a man writing about women and then where the path goes from here. PACKED AND AWESOME is what it is. You enjoy yerself!

CHRIS, STU & KUNT • Hardest Kids In School (Hardcore Listing / Off The Beat & Track / Kunt & The Gang) #681

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by longtime podcast and life friends CHRIS & STU & KUNT for a roundtable episode! Quick catch-up if you're new to the show (trigger warning for repeated "kunt" usage): Chris & Stu host the Hardcore Listing podcast, Stu does Off The Beat & Track and a ton of others, and Kunt is the frontman of the band Kunt & The Gang. Stu and Kunt also do the Acceptable In The 80's podcast. Pip, Chris & Stu form together to do the 'DrunkCast' episodes of Distraction Pieces, where they drink and generate like 5+ whole hour long episodes. So there we go! Now we're all on the same page, here is the hypersquad teamup (minus booze) to chat about the hardest kids in school. Whether you remember them from back in the days (whatever era), or you're familiar with them right now if you're in school at the moment, this roundtable chat will ring bells with you for sure. For those who've led a charmed tough-kid-free life and are over 40, think Gripper Stebson from Grange Hill. There are definitely worse than that but we're using shorthand here! Names have been shortened or indeed redacted, but the memories are mostly clear and chances are that you'll start to recall the kids from your school as the episode unfurls. Or maybe you were the hard kid yourself. Which leads us to the existential side-quest - does a hard kid know they're a hard kid? One to consider. Enjoy! PS: the catchup at the start is mainly due to those unfamiliar with the entire cast here - cos you'll be hearing the word Kunt over about 80-90 minutes more than you might have before. As alwyas with these ones, go steady if you're playing it out loud in a situation with younger fam-folk!

DAVID EARL & JOE WILKINSON (Chatabix & much more) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with David Earl & Joe Wilkinson, originally episode 99 from 2016-05-24. Original writeup below: Welcome, welcome, welcome to your 99th - NINETY NINTH - Wednesday-fresh instalment of the powerful, the savage, the almighty Distraction Pieces podcast. This week is a tag-team of sorts - it's the UK comedy gems David Earl & Joe Wilkinson! You probably know David Earl from his cringingly brilliant 'Brian Gittins' character, or 'Cumbo', and perhaps you've see Joe Wilkinson holding it down on '8 Out of 10 Cats' (and the Countdown cross-pollenation) and in various TV spots - well whether you do or not, now is your chance to get on a perfect level with the two of 'em, as Pip delves all the way into their backgrounds and presents in a lovely chat with a ton of awesome backstories, gossip, and the journey from the early days up to now and what the future holds. 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.

Bill Bailey (Vaudevillean / Black Books / Buzzcocks) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Bill Bailey, originally episode 292 from 2019-10-16. With Bill’s new appreciation of the early morning start, and enjoying those gems that are the early hours of the day, he joins Pip for some ace earlier-than-afternoon chattalogical goodness which includes so much, from back in the day to… now in the day? You know what I’m getting at. So you can absolutely expect to hear all manner of awesome including how he’s well up for the promo run, with a renewed appreciation for the talking element of it all, his newfound discipline - or that is to say ‘sharpened’ discipline, the new series of ‘In The Long Run’ in which he stars alongside creator Idris Elba (on Sky NOW!), his approach to the series and he tries not to install his own comic leanings on the proceedings, the ‘biomechanics’ of comedy and the District 9 theory, the importance of collaboration, how awesome Idris Elba is, the shock of coming from the mainly white Westcountry to multicultural London, Bill’s lightbulb moment for comedy at a London vegan anarchist commune, influences and respect for tradition, the DVD boom of the 00’s and how he got caught in it, the great equaliser of a shared artistic experience, and with that - the importance of sharing, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and QI and all kinds more! Lovely stuff, start to end. Have fun!

JOE CORNISH (The Kid Who Would Be King / Attack The Block / Adam & Joe) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Joe Cornish, originally episode 253 from 2019-02-15. Original writeup below: Consider this the counterpart to the much earlier Adam Buxton episode, if you will, what with Joe being Adam long term co-conspirator and collaborator! Between them they very much had a hand in those early days of podcasting, which was something of a direct offshoot of radio but with a very creative and premeditated approach, not to mention their amazing TV work… With both of them going their separate ways and moving onto a ton of incredible work between them, it’s been hugely inspiring to see the individual sides of the two, and Joe breaks down his recent work and creative projects including of course, ‘Attack The Block’ and brand new film ‘The Kid Who Would Be King’ (showing by the time you read this)! Hear Joe go in on everything else besides too, including film reactions from kids, violence in modern kids films, how he valued seeing himself in kids films (as a young’un), the “Supermarket Sweep of hell” of an approaching film deadline and its many intangible obstacles, how it’s tough to truly enjoy your own film creations as you know too much about them and his own Super8 films back in the day, made with pals Buxton and Louis Theroux! A lot packed into a shorter episode - you’ll dig it for certain!

ELIS JAMES • Thinking big, like Royal Albert Hall-big (Elis & John / Socially Distant Sports Club / standup) #680

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by frankly long overdue comic and podcaster ELIS JAMES! Elis is something of a missing piece in the Distraction Pieces puzzle, one of those guests whose appearance was only a matter of time (a long time, sure, but inevitable). It's a pleasure to have him, and as you'd expect/demand, so much ground gets covered. Silence and not stressing it, a Humble Pie album of all things, podcasting with John Robins, the nuance of performance environments and the beauty of old venues, the weird and not awesome world of early morning comedy gigs, performing standup in Welsh, opportunity and being bold, the long and surprising road to the Albert Hall, football, technology adjusted ambition, the Cymru Connection (and the New York Times discovering it), and other favourite podcasts. Oh but so much besides. Lovely stuff, enjoy!

WIM HOF (Wim Hof Method 🥶) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Wim Hof, originally episode 136 from 2017-02-08. Original writeup below: Don't get all wrapped and warm for this one - it's going to get incredibly frosty up in here... Chances are you may not already have made Wim's acquaintance - that's fine, for after this podcast you will most likely be digging around online and listening to his glorious cadence for hours to follow... If you have already broken the ice (skate over that pun) (and that one) with the man, you will surely be up to speed on The Wim Hof Technique, his apparently superhuman abilities to withstand cold, his infectiously positive and inspiring tones and talking points and his many accomplishments in the field of human endurance. Either way, this is a brilliant conversation (recorded from Wim's home in the outskirts of Amsterdam) which goes into everything you might want to know about the intriguing fellow himself.

MARK WATSON • "You must be tired!" (Before It Overtakes Us / Murder Of A Famous Bastard / No More Jockeys) #678

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the very hilarious comic, writer and podcaster MARK WATSON! You can go ahead and add "long overdue guest" somewhere in the salutation there too, as Mark is someone who's been missing from the DPP alumni for way too long. Mark's been busy performing comedy all around the globe for a minute, and at some point you will have heard Pip proclaim his love for 'No More Jockeys' - the theme quiz with Tim Key, Alex Horne and Mark, so you'll likely know him from at least one point of entry. If not, fear not, as this is a lovely chat where no former knowledge is required! Pip and Mark go into several menu items including the perils of being 40+ (get your ailments bingo card prepped), peeing in odd places like a regular stray dog, getting lifts with parents as an adult, famous contacts in one's phone, riders at shows (ie backstage snax, beverages and more), surprise Mum spottings, squeezing material out of rugged situations when it might be better to just not have the situation, and his new podcast project (link below).

BLAINE HARRISON (MYSTERY JETS) • 2 decades & counting of perfect indie music (A Hole To See The Sky Through / 20 yrs of 'Making Dens'!) #682

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by Mystery Jets OG BLAINE HARRISON! Mystery Jets are a total indie band sureshot, who are currently in the 20th anniversary year of their debut 'Making Dens' debut. They've been total crowdpleasers since the first days, rocking any venue they've graced (including Banquet Records to name one, who get flowers in perpetuity). Back then it was a VERY different time, and a near-unrecognizable media terrain in which many bands were assigned a persona, or vibe, or aura by the music press. The Jets were not immune to this and were often saddled with this and that from various publications, but thankfully forged ahead, and always retained pure love from their fanbase. Pip catches up with original member Blaine, who is such an easy breezy chat subject and has his own questions here and there too (Jets and Pip share 20th anniversary celebrations this year!). It was a really vibrant era back in 2006, but it's so valuable to see a successful band who are still rocking it with no loss of passion or ambition. A really fascinating episode which, as always, will appeal whether you're a Jets-head or you've never heard of 'em. ENJOY!
