    Jordan Gray (Transaction / Tall Dark Friend / Edinburgh Fringe) • 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 Jordan Gray, originally episode 57 from 2015-09-09. Jordan's been a long term friend (and Tall Dark Friend) of the podcast and Pip for many years, and seeing their development in not only career but personal journey has been nothing short of incredibly inspiring and to be blunt, bloody wonderful. This Rewind episode is one frozen in time and which Pip often refers back to as something of a 'teachable moment' in the history of the show. It stemmed from the nature of some of the points that were coming up, and Jordan felt perhaps like the spokesperson for all trans people. So it was a really important moment in the podcast which was logged, learned from, and taken into account therafter. Of course the work is never finished, but Jordan shows up day in and day out making sure that her presence is known. Follow Jordan on all channels!

    Bilal Zafar: can't knock the hustle, or the day job (Got A Problem Mate podcast / Cakes special / Twitch) #647

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by show pal, comic and podcaster BILAL ZAFAR! A return mission for Bilal who is always welcome aboard, and a lovely chance for anyone less acquainted to become fast friends. Bilal's carving out a really special and unique path in comedy, mixing the daily grind with a ton of different disciplines as well as getting involved with the day job life. It's the path of someone who is listening to themselves and making it happen on their own terms, while being fluid and weaving in and out of the waves. But all that aside, Bilal is also plain funny and a great guest as there's a delicious balance of banter and good time charm mixed with the heavier stuff. Ground covered includes town explorations while on the road, comedian vlogs (one in particular), edgelords and comedians, the humble day job, the Fringe, endometriosis, supporting the arts, streaming skills aiding podcasting, and the good old Twitch world. A lot to enjoy right here fam. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature ALL BILAL LINKS ARE HERE FOR EVERYTHING!

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Self Esteem, originally episode 455 from 2022-06-01. Original writeup below: A huge episode right here, spraypaint-style in content in that it contains so much more than the runtime might suggest. The magnificent Self Esteem joins Pip to talk on all things including creativity, motivation, mental wellbeing, burnout, band psychology, getting ahead of potential comments, catharthis through lyricism, touring and how the terrain is geared towards men, being a "diva" when asking for things, and just so much more which only call for a part 2 in the near future. But without getting ahead of ourselves, let's enjoy the greatness of this one, and go and listen and watch at nearest opportunities. You'll love this episode. Enjoy.

    Ben Foster: the quest to find the character vibration (Christy out 28th Nov) #646

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the fabulous actor BEN FOSTER! Ben's been making a huge amount of power moves out there on the big screen, and carries an unmistakeable presence which makes each role totally unique. Whether you started off on the marvelous Hell Or High Water, the beautiful Leave No Trace, or perhaps you're about to catch him starring alongside the phenomenal Sydney Sweeney in Christy, Ben's someone who gives so much to the camera and leaves - well - a very visible trace. From upbringings in Iowa which led to a love of theatre and the simple act of 'play', the path for Ben has been meticulous but also diverse, and this is a really lovely chat you'll definitely enjoy. There are two differing sound qualities you might notice for Ben which are to do with a change of environments but your ears will be fine with the little transition!

    Alex Winter: a lifelong excellent adventure (Bill from Bill & Ted / Lost Boys / Adulthood) #645

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the legendary actor and director ALEX WINTER! As you will of course know, Alex was Keanu's co-star in the Bill & Ted series which is something he does not shy away from, but there is a whole lifetime of being a fully rounded person since then. As you will hear here, he is all about the work but more importantly all about the human side of life and being a person first. From his UK history, to directing and all sorts of process-based goodies, to reuniting with Keanu for Waiting For Godot, to what the future holds, Alex is a very interesting dude which - if you didn't already know - you will find out without shadow of doubt throughout this awesome episode.

Original writeup below: “…I like tension in music… and I think the stage is where it manifests itself…” A rare one right here folks, as Liam spends a good chunk of time chatting with Pip on all things Prodigy and solo, spanning the entirety of his incredible career. Such an engaging and interesting talk, running through the lot - from how he generates ideas and keeps writing through the craziness of tour life, the influence of punk, two-tone, hip hop and electro, early days winning mixtape competitions, the days of early rave and being introduced to acid house by Westwood of all people (circuitously but kind of!), the meeting of Nick Halkes up at XL Records and hand to hand demo hustling, the immediacy of making beats over learning instruments, moving from sonic landscape to sonic landscape naturally, the difference of harder over faster, the importance of image, finding the perfect band setup over a decade after their start, the amazing origin story of their hit Firestarter, their natural progression as a band, the Beastie Boys situation and just SO much more… And this is only part 1… KEEP IT LOCKED, PEOPLE!!!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined once more by the phenomenal director and true film lover EDGAR WRIGHT! Edgar is what we call a friend of the podcast. He can come and sleep on the couch at a moment's notice, we'll help him move house, drive him to the airport, whatever he wants. And in turn he is also your friend! You don't have to do all that extra stuff tho, don't worry. Edgar is a genuine treasure in the filmmaking world, a true collaborator and someone who carries a permament mark of quality - you can trust anything that comes with Edgar's name attached. So it's a pleasure to bring him back to DPP especially when The Running Man is in full promo frenzy mode... Of course you'll get to hear all about the process of bringing that one to screen, the Easter eggs, nuggets, behind the scenes goodies (including getting Arnie's blessing for Arniebucks), as well as all the movie science you will have come to expect and enjoy from him. Pure entertainment - go ahead and enjoy AND of course go see The Running Man!
