Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by multi-faceted diamond actor/comic/rapper/host BEN BAILEY SMITH aka DOC BROWN!

A lovely episode and first return journey since episode 161 in 2017! Ben's always a welcome guest, and it's a heartening meet-up with two folks here in positions not so dissimilar to one another. Ben has had a good amount of years in the rap game, which he's returning to presently to fabulous reception, and also has heavy previous in the acting world - interestingly both he and Pip have been parts of the Star Wars universe too, so there's that! A really nice ep, with some takes on hip hop history, recognition and memory, Star Wars geekouts, post-blow-up career pivots, returning to rap with producer Tony Bones, sorting out your stage sound as a rapper (ring out your mic!), and how Pip had a direct inspiration on something Ben did later. Good times and always lovely to hear about what's cracking in Ben's lane. Lovely stuff. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the excellent actor and long overdue guest ANDREW ELLIS!

Long overdue in many ways, but directly as Pip gradually ticks off the cast of the This Is England on his database... Also of course, as mentioned in this episode, with Stephen Graham being the spiritual godfather of this podcast, it all makes infinite sense. Andrew has been putting in the work over the years and has kind of grown up on both sides of the camera, with a perfect loop of life feeding the art and art feeding life in a balance that has taken a while to achieve. So it's great to hear things are in a nice spot, as well hearing about the past dalliances with podcasting (Overrated Everything), parent life, the said importance of living a life off screen, and his many roles stemming from Gadget in This Is England. He has a bunch of work in the pipeline, including 'The Walk-In' (mentioned in the episode - in case you heard it as "the walking"!), so keep an eye open for all those - but in the meantime, enjoy the present, as Andrew joins in the fun. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the wonderful writer, podcaster, artist and filmmaker POPPY HILLSTEAD!

Poppy's been in the game for a minute and you will very likely know and appreciate her fine work in the podcasting realm (including Gossipmongers, Has Entered The Chat and presently Brainwash Me, but she's been putting in a ton of work over the years in all aspects of the media. We catch up with Poppy hot on the heels of a returning pet cat, and go straight into the very strange world of the chatroom areas of the internet and how they almost instantly elevate to sex talk, her many varied podcasts, finding comedy through early animation work, the adoption of a brainscanner for the new podcast, sections of society that are either chill or just weird, and bringing out and/or celebrating the gross. Fun and crazy at all times, and when dealing with the underworld of the internet, just to let you know, expect to hear some extreme bits and pieces here and there (nothing purely miserable, just, ya know, be cautious if you're sensitive!). Enjoy!
