    Bisha K. Ali • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #504

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by the incredible screenwriter BISHA K. ALI!
    An absolute must listen episode, firstly for those interested and invested in the acting and cinema/television kingdom, but also for those who want to hear a straight up brilliant episode full of honesty, truth and heart. Of course you get the shop talk - process, creativity, the whole science of it all (and the Marvel multiverse of course)- which is amazing in itself, but you also get some wondefully vulnerable and soulful thoughts and experiences on mental health, diversity, and how this ties everything together in a much more macro sense. It actually plays out like a perfect screenplay in many ways, which is no surprise. I mean. It's Bisha K. Ali! Enjoy, take notes, listen fully.

    Natalia Tena • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #503

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by the brilliant actor and musician NATALIA TENA!
    The instant connection that will be of note to Distraction Pieces Network followers, is that Natalia starred next to Brett Goldstein in Superbob - which hopefully you will have seen by now! BUT - consider that something of a sidebar to this conversation as here, we get to hear everything about Natalia in a solo capacity. From boat life, to mind opening Patagonia journeys, to dream jobs and being part of film crews almost like a family, her band and how the tale began and unfolds, accordions, Harry Potter, John Wick, and the whole acting science in general. Amazing stuff and a brilliant look at what Natalia's been up to and is about to do - listen in!

    Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #502

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by the duo of incredible poet and filmmaker SAUL WILLIAMS and stellar actor and playwright ANISIA UZEYMAN!
    Saul is back on the Distraction Pieces couch for his second appearance in the show's history (first time was incredible), and as you can well imagine, you're in for treats galore. Not only that, you can double up on said treats by adding the wonderful Anisia Uzeyman into the mix, as the two drop science in an orderly fashion! A huge amount of perspective, viewpoint and opinion which you will definitely enjoy being in on, but also you'll hear about their film Neptune Frost. If you haven't seen or heard about the film, for goodness sake look at the trailer for some context - it's incredible, and will give a perfect foundation for ths chat with the makers. Or better yet - watch the film. Fans of Saul will heavily appreciate this, and if you're familiar with the work of Anisia you'll love it. And all rounded up with some glorious hip hop anecdotery in case you forgot who you were dealing with here. ENJOY!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is flying solo to answer a flurry of questions from YOU, the listeners and viewers!
    In keeping with Distraction Pieces tradition, Pip likes to have a week to himself from time to time and here we are, deep in mid-February, to open up the mailbag. Even saying 'mailbag' is such a nostalgia trigger for most of us. Didn't that kind of thing die out not long after the 90's arrived? What was it replaced by? Maybe that should have been my question for this episode. Anyway - expect a nice gathering of input from friends and fans and long/medium/short term listeners, with light shed on various topics from music to film to Twitch to everything besides. Just don't ask when we can expect more music. Deal? Deal. Enjoy episode 501, the denim edition.

    DPP Episode 500! (Part 2 of 2) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #500

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    Join Pip and producer Buddy Peace in a 'quincentenary' celebration as the podcast reaches episode 500! PART 2 of 2!
    Pip and myself don't often sit down and recount the archives of the Distraction Pieces Podcast in an official capacity. We might refer back to episodes here and there, or talk in a bizarre shorthand only decipherable by us about certain prior events and occurances in the past. But this time we sat down and recorded a whole epic feature length episode of us doing the damn thing and here is part 2 of the double drop!
    It was a pleasure and delight, and a real treat to give some context to this ongoing project which drops every Wednesday (and sometimes more), and find a space to stop, check in, celebrate, be still for a moment and look at what's happened over the years. Turns out A LOT HAS HAPPENED. But you would expect that right? So here it is, the second of two full conversations with me (Buddy Peace) and Pip, peppered with comments and questions from listeners throughout. This could even be a good first listen for some folks if they haven't heard it before, actually - definitely a huge amount of "Oh I'm listening that THAT one straight after this" type stuff.
    Enjoy, and huge love to you all for being with us and supporting the Distraction Pieces Podcast. Love ya. XXX
    PS: I looked up 'quincentenary' and everything.

One of the best podcasts out there

Consistently strong guest list with a host who genuinely seems interested in the people he’s speaking to. These aren’t interviews, they’re conversations, and the difference is notable in a positive way. 10/10

Fantastic converstaions with an eclectic lineup of guests

I've been listening to the Distraction Pieces podcast for over a year now, and have yet to get bored with an episode. While listeining to each new episode, I also worked my way back through all the past episodes. I LOVE the eclectic array of guests that Scroobius Pip gets on, and that the episodes cover the silly (check out the Drunkasts) to the serious (check out the episodes on homelessness, human trafficking, etc), and everything in between. Mostly I love listening to interesting people talk about their journey pursuing their passion, it's always inspiring and a good reminder to me to do what I love.

Interesting but...

The host is way too self-involved. He does not like to share the spotlight and constantly talks over the guests. It’s too bad because the conversations are absolutely fascinating.
