    HANNAH WALTERS • 'Amazing Grace' coming soon... (Matriarch Productions / A Thousand Blows / Adolescence) #693

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the wonderful actor, producer and all round legend HANNAH WALTERS! Hannah's appearance is a long time coming, some might even venture to say overdue, but this is someone who is of course always welcome. A really fun and also very focused chat which hits on so many of the points you would hope for and very likely so much more, including the powerful work put out by her company Matriarch Productions (co-founded with husband Stephen Graham), how to navigate the desire to act alongside parenting and being married to a full time actor, the very delicate dance of accents, and her pivotal role in the (at time of publishing) upcoming 'Amazing Grace'. So much goodness in here and just a solid classic DPP episode. Enjoy!

Today, we catch up with AUNTY DONNA, originally episode 357 from 2020-12-09. Original writeup: Have you heard of Aunty Donna yet? Chances are you are a diehard dyed in the wool Auntyhead, but perhaps you may have only just seen that Netflix square scrolling sideways in your field of vision as recent as today - or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard the word Aunty and the name Donna together full stop. Well prepare to either get to know the gang much better, or make some new best friends, as Pip catches up with three of the crew! You’ll hear a ton from their early days right up to now, and this will ensure that you are well versed in all things Donna - covering Run The Jewels with times tables, going from podcast to stage to screen, Dominos Pizza (and a gang of fast food snack trivia), tall poppy syndrome, fanbases, physical humour, finding the truth, being present, “whatever’s funniest” and the relentless search for perfection in TV production, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes bits and pieces besides. Gems from every angle. ENJOY! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature ONLINE (literally everything's here!)

Today, we catch up with KONNIE HUQ, originally episode 278 from 2019-07-17. Original writeup: The weather conditions at the time of podcasting (monsoon season) seem to make for a perfect sit down and chat session with Pip and Konnie, as the two hunker down and address a whole gang of pertinent issues and situations - which starts quite literally moments into the conversation. This all sets the tone for some extremely entertaining and very mind opening topic tackling, which includes such menu items as the smoking ban and how we all adapted, the issue of stuff and things and the accumulation of possessions, moving house to a shoebox (with kid in tow), social media and the multitude of attitudes towards it (including where they stand on it all), the idea of manners on social media and how people conduct themselves, minorities, sexual preference, change and evolution in society, being the first Bangladeshi presenter of Blue Peter, slow progression, the b******t filter of being a parent, the importance of nomalising inclusivity, pasta tangents and of COURSE, her own podcast ‘Switch Off’ and forthcoming book ‘Cookie And The Most Annoying Boy In The World’! SO MUCH GOODNESS. Listen in!

    JESS MEGAN • surviving grief, addiction and social media #657

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN! A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that was an entire decade ago it turns out. And as with life in general, it also turns out that an almost insurmountable itinerary can intervene. In Jess's case, without treading on any of what you're about to hear, there's been an immense amount of grief, varying degrees of addiction, depression, and in case you need any sensitivity warnings, there is frank discussion of suicide - so please know that before you begin this episode. Of course, among the heavier elements of the conversation, a huge amount of light enters - Jess and Pip are lovely people and you're in safe hands, as hopefully you'll feel aware of by now. There's a lovely balance of the fun and the far more serious, including a lot of fascinating chat regarding social media and the like. But importantly, even if this situation doesn't mirror one of your own, there will likely be familiar moments or perhaps some which might be of help for others going through it. However you meet it, you'll emerge at the end in a different spot, and hopefully have found a glorious new friend in the bargain. A valuable, intimate but ultimately incredibly powerful conversation right here folks. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature JESS IG PIP AT PRINCE CHARLES CINEMA!

Today, we catch up with Martin Freeman, originally episode 208 from 2018-05-30. Original writeup below! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– From those younger, earlier days where we first met Martin in his classic role as Tim in The Office, right up to the present day where we join him in the modern zombie thriller Cargo, he has held it down with skill and good choices from role to role. From Ali G, to Hitchhikers Guide, to The Hobbit and Black Panther, he and Pip manage to fit in a WHOLE lot in this condensed episode, running down the career highlights while branching out to wider subjects like art, tribalism and the reductiveness within, being the ruler of your own palace and master of your destiny, the early days to the present and all manner of other goodness for you to discover yourself! Enjoy - it’s a goody, and for Freeman fans and non-familiars alike, this will satisfy for sure.

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with SUZY EDDIE IZZARD, originally episode 168 from 2017-09-13. Original writeup (for context, this is from 2017, and now it is 2026 - so what follows is 9 years old, at time of this Rewind publishing): This week Pip is joined by EDDIE IZZARD! Comedian, actor, marathon man and all round champ Eddie takes time from his current press junket to sit down with Pip for a proper chat - not a three minute soundbiter, no no no... This is a wonderful one, covering - of course - his current film 'Victoria And Abdul' (alongside acting royalty Dame Judi Dench), which triggers all manner of talking points in bright and breezy fashion... Some amazing facts and gossip about the true story behind the film are revealed, and later Eddie talks candidly about his insane marathon running achievements and the mindset involved, and of course his standup career gets a good going over - all this tied in with a truly inspiring look at his transgender identification and all that has entailed over the years. Comprehensive to say the very least - get into it, enjoy and share it at your nearest opportunity.

Today, we catch up with PETER CAPALDI, originally episode 555 from 2024-02-21. Original writeup below: Depending on where you caught Peter on his timeline, you may know him as Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, or even Oldsen if you've seen Local Hero. Point is - Peter's been busy for decades, and continues to be so. He's also an awesome hang, as you will find out as Pip gets a good hour or so in his company. They get into all sorts, including of course the roles and acting experiences, but also the wide world of culture wars and nonsence arguments, problems with leadership, maintaining good vibes on set, London as a crime backdrop, the greatness of Glasgow, Lewis Capaldi and his relation to him, making diorama studios as a kid, and the hand of destiny in his acting career. NOT avoiding the hypetrain for the show brought to you by he and his wife, Criminal Record on Apple TV! So much to enjoy. Better step to it.

    SHABANA AZEEZ • "My job is empathy" (The Pitt / The Airport Chaplain / Lesbian Space Princess) #689

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the truly fabulous actor SHABANA AZEEZ! A perfect behind the scenes of stage and screen chat with Shabana, fresh from Emmy celebrations and ready to get into it all. For some, this might be your first time hearing from Shabana especially if you're only just familiarising yourself with The Pitt (good for you) - but for others, you'll be well versed in her awesome acting range and path since back in the day. Of course, a huge amount has happened since the growing up days back in Adelaide, and it makes sense that we find Shabana right here as the acting and arts leanings have been there since her younger years. Here we hear about most of the roles, including of course The Pitt, but also the excellent The Airport Chaplain, and the lesser known but no less brilliantly titled Lesbian Space Princess - so much to get into, so let's cut this reading thing short and leave it to you to get listening immediately.

    STAMMA FEST PODCAST • a Q&A with Jessie Roux fielding questions from awesome young folks #692

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week is a celebration of INTERNATIONAL STAMMER AWARENESS DAY, recorded at Stamma Fest 2026! A wonderfully different episode this week, as Pip joins hosting duties with the glorious (previous guest!) JESSIE ROUX to answer questions and just have a nice hangout with some of the younger folks involved in Stamma Fest. You'll very quickly detect that this episode is more about the community vibe, support network and representation that comes with such an event and organisation, and less about the fact that there's a huge and fabulous TV star in attendance (although come on, that does add to the greatness!). Not to mention the fact that we're hearing from younger people who stammer - voices we don't hear from nearly as much as we should. It's a really supportive, present, and inspiring atmosphere in this one, and a very welcome break from the regular podcasting schedule. Here's to more of these voices in the future... Huge thanks to everyone at Stamma, the young people involved, and Jessie for all being amazing. INTERNATIONAL STAMMER AWARENESS DAY is on the 22nd of October!

    Rob Auton: The importance of positive internal monologue, and staying hydrated (poetry / standup) #601

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the returning show friend, the wonderful poet and standup ROB AUTON! It's always a pleasure in Rob's company, and this episode is of course no exception. We start things off very quickly by jumping off the pleasantries diving board directly into the deep waters of life, comedy, craft and eveything else involved. And as always with Rob, you can expect unique takes and perspectives which are inspiring, intriguing and never fail to lead to somewhere you didn't think you'd get to. Much ground is covered including the connection of hydration to bloodwork, the many living quarters in Rob's past, libraries, festivals and incorporating live music into his setup, his history with the Fringe (and Pip's), show making and creating an audience, being positive in your self talk and attempting excitement.

    RALF LITTLE • exploring where the processes of acting and being a human being combine (Hunting Alice Bell / Two Pints Of Lager... / Royle Family) #688

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the brilliant actor of stage and screen RALF LITTLE! Fresh from a huge theatre round of 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', Ralf joins Pip for a long overdue chat which seemingly goes off on a bunch of tangents, but on closer inspection you'll hear how connected each strand really is. Of course a huge section involves acting and the science behind the performance (or more accurately, how to portray a role while not losing touch with your own brain), but elsewhere there are great angles involving the upcoming 'Hunting Alice Bell' and where the story came from, working with David Baddiel, the all seeing eye of Simon Pegg, getting into and out of Twitter storms, the mental clarity one can achieve by simply putting the phone down, expectations of various societal groups and mansplaining the 'Me Too' movement to a non-male acquaintance. It's a lot! Enjoy.

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the Traitors-starring legend JESSIE ROUX! An episode for the books right here! Those of you who love and appreciate the how Traitors will have surely also come to love and appreciate the recent breakout superstar Jessie. Jessie's awesome from the start of course but it's a weirdly rare thing to see and hear folks with a stammer out there in the mainstream media (our very own Pip notwithstanding), so when she comes along and blesses the world with such an aura and pure vibes it is a treat to be celebrated. Naturally - as comes up in the conversation - Jessie is not her stammer, in so much as it is not her identity. So enjoy this brilliant chat which covers so much in her life, upbringing, present day and so much in her personal experience which leads to the person you're listening to in this episode. Pure greatness. * SPOILERS LATE IN THE EP FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN SERIES 4 OF TRAITORS AND INTENDS TO!

We are still in lockdown (lockdown has been lifted), and while we’re all going in to work (no going into work) and staying alert (SO much more alert than usual), Pip decided to round up a willing crew for some further drunk antics by way of the second ISOLATION DRUNKCAST! This one right here is the Back To The Future / Godfather / Karate Kid of podcasts. A three parter of crazy huge proportions, featuring not only Pip and the usual Hardcore Listing crew Stu and Chris, but also the truly great comedians / Off Menu duo of JAMES ACASTER and ED GAMBLE! A heavy affair combining all manner of drink combos, raised voices and flaring tempers all conducted over zoom through five mini computer screens. It actually didn’t stray too far outside the realms of decency, this one, and while it’s absolutely not radio friendly, you’ll most certainly enjoy this one like you surely did the previous Isolation Drunkcast! So, as always, pour yourself a Scroobius (or a protein shake), set yourself a lil’ blanket fort or some such, and enjoy the following four hours of true mayhem. HAVE FUN!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the fabulous actors HERO FIENNES TIFFIN & DONAL FINN! What with Young Sherlock premiering on Prime TODAY (at time of publishing, that is) - or for those listening later - March 4th, what better pairing than Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty (and our man Scroobius Pip who also stars in the show!). Guy Ritchie directed it, and it sounded like a very cool and very unique environment to be a part of... We catch Hero and Donal at the very start of the press run, but already they have their off-screen chemistry down to science as they let us all in on the process, which is one that embraces spontaneity while being fully prepared. Along with the blend of loose / tight, we also hear about the musicality of the script which includes meticulous cadence, having room to present ideas and creative input on set, the importance of careful scheduling and also how to portray the Mind Palace. Many have attempted it... What will this iteration look like? Enjoy the episode, and catch the show too of course!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the absolutely glorious actor LEILA FARZAD! Leila's been on a huge journey in carving her own path in the wide and weird world of acting, a journey that some might have simply clicked and saved at any part of it and called it a day. But it's a real treat to hear how it's all turned out (and indeed continues to play out in the present), and to have that reminder that it isn't all luck and the hands we're dealt - this stuff takes a huge amount of thought, risk, skill and time. Hear about how Leila has worked on all sizes of screen as well as stage, found methods to unblock emotion, and had the unique experience of having a place to call home in Iran as well as the UK (or as Pip's unintentional phone autocorrect would have it, "ENGLAND" - don't worry, it all gets explained in the first few minutes, way to go phone). It's a really lovely conversation and a nice extended one too, so get settled and enjoy hearing from a true great.

    CORIN HARDY • the horror movie whistle-blower (Whistle / The Nun / Gangs Of London) #658

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by film-maker and director CORIN HARDY! Corin's new film 'Whistle' aptly drops on Friday 13th, which will surely be on the radar of the horror heads among you but if not, it might form part of your forthcoming movie schedule after listening to this one... Corin's served many years in the game, from time spent in set design and then onto stop motion, which led onto over 50 music videos which further led to working in a more cinematic capacity. It's been a hugely creative path, all underpinned by music which also forms a huge link in the chain (as you'll hear from the mutual interest in Operation Ivy and Rancid), and as with all Distraction Pieces the chat reins are loosened and conversation wanders into all sorts of awesome ground. Crucially though - you'll hear a ton about Whistle (without hearing the whistle itself - thankfully? - which is present throughout the chat), and the process of bringing it to the screen. ENJOY!
