Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Some perfect acting distraction for you this week as Pip is joined by the bright shining acting star STACY MARTIN!You may know Stacy’s work already which will stand you in good stead to enjoy this brilliant, sprawling and all-encompassing chat with Pip and Stacy, but if not you’re in for a treat with the bonus of making a new pal by the end! Stacy’s been holding it down on the stage and screen for a minute - you may have seen her in both Nymphomaniac films, the great Redoubtable, or High Rise to name a little handful, and her latest film Archive is very much out and about now (with a ton more in the work diary). So it’s really nice to hear how things are going with her, relationships with sci-fi, performance hacks, AI themes, and so much more. Great times, enjoy!STACY on IMDBSTACY / BAFTASTACY on INSTAGRAMSTACY in ELLEARCHIVESCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRA

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Some perfect acting distraction for you this week as Pip is joined by the fantastic SACHA DHAWAN!A lovely meeting between Pip and Sacha, and with the two not having crossed paths previously this is a really nice chat which branches out into a fully fledged tree of chat. As I carry on, I’m all too aware that I did just type “tree of chat” but I’m committing to it. Beginning with the big topics and meandering gracefully through the labyrinth of emotions and feels, they cover a ton and not exclusive to acting either - from pandemic action to acting through such a time, taking breaks for mental health, anxiety and predicting it, lessons from lockdown, pressure from heritage and coming to terms with one’s own story, confidence, art and cautiousness growing up, playing the truth, his previous roles and those forthcoming, being a role model and all together so much more. A brilliant one for you this week. EAT HOW YOU WANNA EAT*!*This will

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!BONUS! Pip’s media cup was overflowing with 2020 goodness, so he went ahead and made a bonus episode to catch all the gems that 2020’s television had to offer and HERE IT IS!As with the films of the year episode, this is all Pip’s opinion and you may indeed share differing ones, but this might alert you to some good times that you might not have been aware of before. You’ll enjoy this for sure!QUICK NOTE! This is producer Buddy Peace here typing this, and just to let you know I do drop by super quick by invitation from Pip, to make a quick announcement and wish y’all the best for 2021. I don’t take liberties with installing myself on the podcast so I thought I’d just gently warn you of the alternate voice you will hear chiming in.SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDI

We are now in 2021 World, with a whole new 12 months ahead of us until we do the merry go round all over again, but when you think about for even a split second, isn’t it insane how much can happen in those twelve months? Even in a day?! Well, while none of us can slow the hands of time, we can most certainly take a minute to just sit right there, and listen to Pip tell us about his favourite films of the year!By the way, about that last sentence - yes it was a vague Fresh Prince reference and yes it was meant to rhyme. Anyway - have a lovely podcast listen, and see if Pip’s thoughts resonate with your views on these films if you’ve seen them, or maybe arm the cannon with some films to line up for your forthcoming viewing time. Some true gems on there. So enjoy, argue with yourself if you need to, but remember this is a personal opinion list - Pip is not taking yo

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!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Cinematic perfection is upon us once more, as Pip finally aligns schedules with the incredible and inspiring actor MYANNA BURING!It’s another great one folks, but I mean when has the Distraction Pieces Podcast ever been less than? That was rhetorical. But seriously… Anyway - here’s a beautiful chance to enjoy a wonderful chat across the internet lines with MyAnna, who you will know from one of the most intense films in movie history The Descent, or equally intense movie Kill List, or maybe from the marginally less intense (depending on your age perhaps) Twilight saga. At any rate, if you are yet to make her acquaintance, prepare to make a new pal right here through a packed chat, containing everything including making the decision to pare down over lockdown, how groundbreaking The Descent was when looking in retrospect, help along the way (this podcast has spiritual guidance from Michael Smiley and Stephen Graham of course), storie

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!An ALMOST in person DPP right here - well, Pip and the guest being in the same city, in a country far far away from their respective homesteads anyway - please enjoy a brilliantly upfront and honest chat with actor RAHUL KOHLI!I say upfront and honest - basically it’s one where sentiments aren’t hinted at, and feelings and thoughts are addressed in a mature and adult manner. He and Pip are currently in Vancouver, Canada, in the midst of filming in some very airtight pandemic conditions. You can hear all about that, which of course branches out into how life is in Canada, viewing the pandemic from a different country, the attitudes in the US, race and the media, privilege, social media tone deafness, becoming a Twitter celeb (not as glamorous as it sounds), what re-Trump-ing says about you, Mike Bithell and the amazing North Star Rising project he and Pip guested on, auditions, gaming voiceovers, acting, and the many intricate nuanc

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Without a doubt, an episode that’s been a long time in the making - at last, Pip catches up with national trasure, poet, writer and lyricist BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH!Pure enjoyment from the Birmingham legend as he and Pip catch up and talk about all things poetry but so much more… Beginning at the beginning of time itself, they move through viruses, “unpredictable” times, nature, the meat industry, finance and politics, squashing Twitter beefs, Bob Marley, doing gigs and slowly finding his crew, Life & Rhymes and everything contained within, finding and celebrating music in the words, performance poetry vs page poetry and of course, Peaky Blinders! Amazing.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Let the cinematic streak be unbroken, as Pip chats with the second brother combo on the podcast - it’s the directorial duo of THE BLAINE BROTHERS!You may be familiar with the two from previous works such as Nina Forever (which was HIGH on a previous Pip’s films of the year list), and maybe you’ve already become aware of the Sara Pascoe series Out Of Her Mind (featuring Pip himself), but if not - prepare to investigate all of these and more when you spend some time in the company of the Chris and Ben Blaine! It’s a really engaging chat about all things film, as well as pre-lockdown days, playwright vs Da Vinci, letting yourself make mistakes, tearing up the film makers handbook, constraints, the fault of “Kill your darlings”, subconscious typecasting, their production process and making a BBC series - as well as just about everything else in between. Ace stuff, you’ll love it.EPISODE LINKS:BEN BLAINECHRIS BLAINEBLAINE BROTHERS ONLIN

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!What better way to follow last episode’s acting aceness than with another UK treasure, yes indeed Distraction Pieces famsquad it is the brilliant TARON EGERTON!As with so many of these episodes featuring the UK acting crew, there is an over-riding spiritual link by way of Stephen Graham, so props must be given to him first off! This one feels like another ‘long time coming’ episode, where it was just a matter of time and arrangements to lock it in. Naturally there’s lockdown talk up top, which is always fascinating as we all want to know how it’s been affecting each other - Taron’s found himself in Wales, which brings us to his upbringing (including Liverpool), and from then on you can expect some good talk on social media, RADA and family whip-rounds for auditions, early days (not THAT long ago!) on Kingsman, lessons learned through each film, voice acting vs acting-acting, Matthew Vaughn, Dexter Fletcher, Tom Hardy, his own filmo

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!The perfect actorial masterclass and relaxed chat scenario as Pip meets the glorious MAXINE PEAKE!Kicking things off with reflections of pandemic and lockdown times (essential to check in up top!), Pip and Maxine get into the whole acting biz and it’s a thrilling old journey - from acting itself and what it’s like being around yourself as an actor, to London fatigue and burnout, to venues in Manchester and up North, her paths and journeys, experiences at RADA, representation and diversity and how more is of utmost importance and the old fashioned character trait of ‘being Northern’. But so much more. A packed one, and one you will enjoy for certain.EPISODE LINKS:MAXINE on TWITTERMAXINE on IMDBFUNNY COWLINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Metalheads rejoice, as you are about to hear a properly great chat with Pip and COREY 'MF' TAYLOR of SLIPKNOT!While Corey may be in a relaxed and certainly not on-stage mode for the chat, that’s probably the perfect setting as we get to hear from the engaged, stoic and reflective Corey. Beginning with all things pandemic and quarantine, it’s actually the perfect place to start as a lot of his new material was recorded in a very responsible and safety conscious mode, but from there on we get to hear about his teen songwritings, fearlessness, collaboration processes overseas, filling up notebooks, depression bouts and mental health, and US politics - but all with a very keen eye on the positive. So it’s a great inspiration for those who are feeling it right now.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!One for not only the hip hop heads but also the cookery crew as Pip gets deep in the rap kitchen with ACTION BRONSON!There’s no doubt about it, Action has done a ton in the past decade and by the looks of it all, had a goddamn blast while doing it. But he’s always kept a very decent squad around him and stayed on track and focused, as you can tell by his insane output and varied resumé. Here’s a chance to catch up with dude as he talks over the internet to Pip about it all - working out, old skool gaming, pandemic UFC, how he got into rap music and the cassette culture that came along with it, New York, an alternate universe chef career, features with rappers and being in the studio with some of the greatest, eating well, knocking humbleness on the head, acting in a Scorcese film, being behind a show from concept to credits and MAD amounts more in between.
