Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the amazing actor, comic and writer SOPHIE WILLAN!…also known as Bafta Award winning Sophie Willan! Sophie’s running things right now, not only on account of her fantastic and unique series Alma’s Not Normal, but through pure hard work and an individual, very real eye through which she filters what’s happening out there. She and Pip get into all of it, including her work on The Circle, being mates with Jayde Adams, Bolton, shining light on the past and honoring real people from real places, working class backgrounds, being introduced to John Waters and Mike Leigh through her grandma, past job, Rob Parker, going against ‘safe’ lineups in casts, charity work and so much more besides - if you don’t know Sophie, prepare to make a new pal right here.SOPHIE LINKSIMDBALMA'S NOT NORMALTHE CIRCLETWITTERINSTAGRAMBAFTASCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMEN

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the tremendous actor SAM SPRUELL!A very open chat with Pip and Sam, who actually joined forces once upon a time in one of Pip’s earlier acting adventures. They catch up on that of course, but all the way through this is peppered with all sorts of wisdom and experience which touches on so many facets of acting and life in general (while being grounded in Sam’s current project The North Water) - the importance of breaks and holidays, funny-bad reviews, attitude on set, getting notes on your character, working with director Andrew Haigh, class structures in historical drama, cut-off locations, staying in your lane as a character, Steve McQueen and the Small Axe series, and too much more to synopsise here. Just dive in - you’ll get a lot from it.SAM LINKSIMDBTHE NORTH WATERMANGROVETHE HANGING SUNSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDI

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by long awaited / much requested rapper and activist LOWKEY!While rapper and activist might not cover it completely, Lowkey is someone who you need on your radar as this podcast will prove. It feels like Pip has been in training for this one but it is not a tricky listen - more like one that will continue to reward you on repeat listens. From the start I would suggest keeping a pad and pen by you just in case you want to make some notes, but otherwise it’s a perfect chance to let some pure facts and figures wash over you. From remittances, immigration, tax havens, etymology and what could be taught in schools, patriotism, circular logic, kung fu, houses of cards, the Grenfell tragedy, Operation Legacy and too much more to list. As I say - get a pen and pad ready, and prepare to take on fuel for a thousand conversations to come.LOWKEY LINKSTWITTERINSTAGRAMMINT PRESS NEWS / WatchdogA/POLITICALSCROOBIUS PIP on

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the absolutely brilliant actor NIAMH ALGAR!Niamh and Pip get straight into the whole actorial science pretty swiftly right here, from her place in the early stages of quarantine. What this all leads to is an incredibly useful toolbox for actors with gems from all sides of the camera including how to dismount emotionally after heavier scenes, the strangeness of being praised for reaching emotional places, on set therapy and the importance of decompression through the process (and how the days of distressing your cast as director are hopefully behind us), manipulation, Deceit, Raised By Wolves, Calm With Horses, Ridley Scott, Prano Bailey Bond, defending your character, process and craft, collaboration and just so much more. You’ll really enjoy this one whether you’re involved in acting or not… Have fun!NIAMH LINKSTWITTERCENSORDECEITRAISED BY WOLVESCALM WITH HORSESIMDBSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by People Just Do Nothing star STEVE STAMP!Of course the term ‘star’ doesn’t cover all the bases of what Steve does over there at the Kurupt FM towers… From writing to directing to all kinds of other bits and bobs, he is in a perfect position to chat with Pip about the makings of the People Just Do Nothing: Big In Japan film, the timing of it in a mid-post-pandemic world, the writing process, characters, development and all that comes with it. Of course the two branch out into other topics but that’s a fine roundup of what you can expect.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!An amazing opportunity to get inside the mind of writer, director and producer SHAWN LEVY!You may be familiar with Shawn from such projects as the sleeper hit ‘Real Steel’, the ‘Night At The Museum’ series and ‘Stranger Things’ to name a mere sprinkling in the vast ocean of goodies he’s been involved in - a brief glimpse at his IMDB will open the door on these so definitely have a peep - but this is a great full length chat with Pip, as the two go in on things in some nice detail. What’s really cool is how Shawn becomes a fast convert to the DPP faith around 20 minutes in when it’s clear that, dear listeners, our own Pip knows exactly what he’s doing behind the steering wheel. Hear about the amazing ‘Free Guy’, casting, creation, self taping and in person auditions, letting ideas flow in the edit stage, and so much more including some choice horse analogies.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!A fabulous episode as Pip is joined by the very funny and very lovely comic and actor TIM RENKOW!A class act from beginning to end, as Tim catches us up on all things actorial, comedic and other such goodness including his show Jerk, being an American in the UK (by way of Mexico, North Carolina and Memphis), hippy parents, rough days on set, accessibility in comedy clubs, cold curry, exhaustion, and awesome rap including MF Doom and our very own Pip! Tim’s also very honest about his own work ethic, which is almost a ‘make hay while the sun shines’ attitude, combined with a hard work drive that’s more about keeping it GOOD rather than predictable. Proper inspiring, and you shall for sure be checking out his work in the acting and standup worlds after this if you haven’t already.TIM LINKSTWITTERIMDBJERKART SCHOOL WARSSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTIO

From her Wales upbringings and VHS shelves, to short film, to doing the whole movie promotion thing remotely at this point in time which brings its own distortions and abstractions, to the relationship of the team behind the film, and how the power of boredom and beoing outside the cool kid circle can bring about its own moments of inspiration.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Another one for the books right here, as we welcome writer, dancer, podcaster and worlds more, KELECHI OKAFOR!…also known as Kelechnekoff. A supreme recording for you here as Pip joins forces with one of the greatest voices in the game, as you will hear throughout or may have of course heard via the Say Your Mind podcast. Kelechi is holding it down in a wild world, while maintaining dignity and finesse in times which certainly call for it (though it can be a pure struggle). An ace chat branching out into everything from being a “dickhead in recovery”, the juggles of a new mum, the white supremacist patriarchy, the co-opting of phrases to diminish, how protests are defused, “tear singlet energy”, Yoruba, Lagos to Peckham, race transcendance, Haiti, the angry Black woman narrative, past trauma, tarot and creative arts - but as you can well imagine, that’s only the surface of the iceberg. Awesome work. Get into it.KELECHNEKOFF LINKSTW
