    Kate Nash & Maedb Joy: sex work is work, and not exclusive to artistry #609

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by two very special guests - musician and actor KATE NASH and multi-discipline performer and activist MAEDB JOY! An absolutely crucial episode at any given moment, but especially poignant now with things as they are. This description will of course not do justice to the entire hour-plus conversation but let's just say, whatever your reaction might be to the term 'sex work', you'll find a huge amount to love and learn from this one. You'll likely have seen the commotion surrounding Kate's 'Butts For Tour Buses' campiagn, which aimed to shine a light on the broken music industry while generating some income to sustain her own music career - Kate goes into all of that and so much more, and is joined by Maedb who is a huge influence and massively respected creative presence on the scene. A delightful and empassioned conversation, held in perfect balance, and one which will do a lot to deliver information, clarity, perspective and context at a time when such things are tough to come by. Enjoy, investigate, and take it all in. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature ONLINE (Kate links are all here) INSTAGRAM TAKE PART IN THE SURVEY!!!

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Cosmo Jarvis, originally episode 316 from 2020-03-11. Original writeup below! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Following on perfectly from last week’s episode with Niamh Algar, in that she and Cosmo star in ‘Calm With Horses’, which is coming to cinemas very soon - the perfect follow on episode right here! You may know Cosmo from his starring turns in Lady Macbeth, or maybe Peaky Blinders - his presence leaves a long lasting impression in whatever you will see him in, and it’s a treat to hear him talk about the craft and hear his insights into it, especially when mirrored with Pip’s. So kicking things off with some good pizza chat up-top, we lead effortlessly into his dealings with type 1 diabetes, which blossoms into the power of encouragement and learning on the job, life changing moments which somehow don’t change life, the ease of dipping your toe into the creative output pool and whether it’s a good thing or not, indeed the forthcoming Calm With Horses, and loads of respectful talk about his co-stars and actors / directors he’s worked with. Excellent stuff, great to hear from him!

    John Robins: the many moods of podcasting, mental health, and Wordle (Elis & John / How Do You Cope / Howl) #608

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic and podcaster and friend to us all, JOHN ROBINS! A naturally evolving podcast which goes from subject to subject while remaining focused and sober at all times. It's almost as if the two people being recorded are podcast professionals. What kicks things off though is a very interesting and revealing chat about mental health, considering the potential saturation with the constant pursuit of happiness (and 'optimisation fatigue'). Elsewhere you'll be treated to a rundown of ways John is similar to Pip, separating the Crossfit politics from the actual actions which are - all said and done - body movements, a good chunk on Wordle (so prepare for that if you are done with Wordle!), politics, toxic podcasting, time anxiety and the benefits thereof, and the joy of Lou Sanders! Because almost all of the world's issues can be solved by enjoying Lou Sanders. And Bonnie Prince Billy, which John and many of us (producer Buddy typing this...!) share. A ton to enjoy. Get started!

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Florence Pugh, originally episode 188 from 2018-02-07. Original writeup below! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– A powerful conversation, full of energy and positivity and just pure satisfying goodness for your podcast enjoyment, as Pip and Florence get right down to it and cover everything from said favourite film Lady Macbeth (surely you’ve seen that by now and if not, amend that!), the subtle differences behind the scenes of indie and blockbuster films and merits of the former, the backlog of projects and the weirdness of doing promo several years after, her attitude towards nudity in film roles and how the media handles it versus how she handles it, her upcoming role as Paige in Fighting With My Family and the insane logistics of that, the dichotomy of murder on screen and nudity on screen and how it seems society in general is far more comfortable seeing violence, the female perspective as a director as opposed the male gaze, growing up in a loud family and her acting history and last but certainly not least, a pitch from she and Pip for a combined role in Peaky Blinders. How can they lose? One’s thing’s for sure - you won’t, so get yourself comfy and listen in won’t you!

    Frank Carter: becoming a Sex Pistol and living a thousand lives (Gallows / Ratlesnakes / Pure Love / Rose Of Mercy) #607

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by frontman of Gallows, Rattlesnakes, and now Sex Pistols, FRANK CARTER! It's been a very hectic decade, with a huge amount of the good being balanced out by the bad, but Frank's been present through it all and managed to keep one of the coolest heads you could know. Of course you will surely know Frank from all the bands listed above, and maybe you've been wondering what all that is actually like. Certainly one of the more historically pertinent bands he's currentlly part of might invite a lot of questions, being massively influential and indeed massively controversial for a panoply of reasos. All of this is explored, including untethered stage antics, navigating parenting, also navigating a pandemic while being a creative person, weaving through his many eras, gaming and Twitch and the realities of owning a tattoo studio (Rose Of Mercy, where this was recorded). It's been a decade since the first meeting with Frank - catch up time!

    Riz Ahmed (Sound Of Metal / Nimona / Venom) • 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 Riz Ahmed, originally episode 16 from 2015-01-28. This episode is now over ten years old, at time of the Friday Rewind edition. So - NEEDLESS TO SAY though I'll say it anyway - that's a whole ten years of life and career. Whether that time has slipped past with the click of fingers or you've felt every single moment of it, this is a wonderful chance to view that snapshot back then. Riz's career and life are immensely inspirational whether you are involved in acting or music, or indeed if you've listened to this episode before. There is so much in this episode that still resonates (and will continue to), and so much that you can still glean from the wisdom of Riz. It's also amazing how you can listen and kind of verify everything that he had in mind back then against what later came into being, including an incredible lineup of film roles and production credits.

    Cody Frost: from bedroom to tattoo studio to stage, leaving no genre unchecked (Anatomy / Alligator / Process) #606

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by genre hopping but always heavy musician CODY FROST! Cody's journey takes root in the days of the Kerrang cover CD, which will have influenced many like minded folk into the heavier side of musical styles (they've come a long way since AD/DC on the cover!). This is the journey of Cody and a very real, human approach to acheiving goals and getting to an achievable level of success. Turns out it takes more than sending a message to the universe and simply receiving all you want without any work. Cody's been doing things their own way and making some awesome friends along the way including none other than Enter Shikari (to the point of guesting on their work), all the while being awesome at tattoo and digital art, and brushing up on music production. Super inspiring even if you're not in this area of the musical graph! • NOTE! Sound oddities from 11m38s to 17m31s - entirely unavoidable and efforts were made to salvage the audio - this was the most ear-friendly route, but apologies for that. It doesn't last long.
