Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME (shouted that last one) to episode 127 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week is a sureshot slammer as Pip is joined by the long-hinted at national treasure Lauren Laverne! A perfect broadcasting-based chat as Pip and Lauren get along like old mates, venturing easily back and forth into her past and present and covering all necessary awesomeness along the way. We get all the scoops on her early days with pop band Kenickie (surely at least a few of you out there are still holding onto a comprehensive back catalogue), her humble but broadminded Sunderland upbringing in a 'cultural tardis' surrounded by all kinds of music, the cynicism poured over programmes like 'Geordie Shore' and such like, her illustrious career in both television and radio, which currently finds her comfortably holding the fort down on her BBC 6Music slot and boasting a 2 million-plus listenership, and her website The Pool, which is a fantastic female-centric website that demands your... &

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your one hundred and twenty-fifth episode of the all knowing, all seeing and all conquering Distraction Pieces Podcast with your host Scroobius Pip! A solid gold slammer this week as you have become accustomed to by now, with Strange Famous and Speech Development's very own B. Dolan! B's third visit to the Distraction Pieces labs is on official business, this time not specifically involving rap music but focused more on the current efforts to get the incredibly important Knowmore.org site up and running to maximum power. You may have heard of Knowmore and how it offers an invaluable resource to the public, by way of providing information about the ethics of companies and corporations that would otherwise be very difficult for the public to get their hands on. It's been operational for around a decade through B. Dolan's efforts and with assistance from a tireless brigade of like-minded and well-intentioned helpers, but now is the time to get this incredible resource up to the... &

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME and SURPRISE - it's a full strength Monday morning shot of triple-distilled Distraction Pieces goodness for your immediate attention! Not so much a DrunkCast as a Sleep-DeprivedCast BUT no less on point and razor sharp, as Pip is joined by the DrunkCast regular and Distraction Pieces Champ/Redshift Rebels homie Mr Chris Glasson, as well as special guest Sam Marshall of Chester Le Street CrossFit (who you will know from various references and bigups in previous podcasts). A very full on UFC reaction podcast right here as the trio go DEEP into UFC 205 and the results/events therein, as well as several nuggets and tidbits laced throughout. But really this is a proper UFC throwdown so if you're a UFC head, this one's you. If you're not necessarily familiar but are interested in the scene, then this is a perfect way to become accustomed to names, terms, the whole deal. Join the gang for a pastry/coffee/gossip-filled chatgallery and powerful post-UFC face-off! Enjoy. SCROOBIUS PIP:...

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME - three welcome as standard of course - to episode 123 of your weekly Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! ...and what a perfect companion to last weeks broadcasting gold, as we welcome (thrice, naturally) radio maverick and all round frequency-waves captain Iain Lee! A wonderfully wide-ranging discussion between Pip and Iain, covering the whole journey which has led him to where he currently makes his radio home at Talk Radio. From his glorious pseudonym IAIN IN BLACK THUNDER (certainly a strong contender for an Iain bio-pic title) in his old-skool presenting days, all the way through the main stations he's frequented including LBC and Absolute, as well as his time a while back on '11 O' Clock Show', his path has been intense and full of learning curves and hurdles, all of which you shall hear about. How he gets the most from call-in guests and his sixth-sense for when there's more to be gleaned, his 'bedroom' style of broadcasting and how he reached that sleek freestyle...

WELCOME - multiplied by three as always - to episode 122 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Now that you've been sufficiently welcomed, please enjoy another glorious show, as Pip gets deep in the choppy broadcasting waters with radio veteran Geoff Lloyd! Surely you will have come into contact with Geoff over the years, from his decades of radio presenting on all manner of stations (the formative years of which beginning in Manchester), and more than likely heard his awesome shows on Absolute Radio where he currently makes his home, but this is an unmissable opportunity to get further acquainted with the instantly likeable Geoff and get the whole lifelong scoop! From those humble beginnings back in his hospital radio volunteering days, to his experiences over at Virgin Radio right up to his immensely popular present day broadcasting, including his self proclaimed nerd origins, school experiences, it's a proper lively and entertaining chat which also gets incredibly open and honest as we...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to this week's Distraction Pieces Podcast, episode 121 at that! A truly powerful episode too, as Pip heads up to the offices of Dignity In Dying to speak with Lloyd and Mick about the charity and all details within... You may have noticed in listening to the Distraction Pieces podcast that there is something of a through-line for the most part. Death. Death comes up frequently, but as you will also have noticed, it is rarely spoken about in a morbid, depressing or negative manner - it is something we ALL have in common, and as such it is a fascinating subject to discuss to get the views of others. Introducing Lloyd, research and policy officer at Dignity In Dying, and Mike, who has strong connections with it through a number of very personal situations which you will hear about. While the stories, the current situations regarding assisted dying in the UK (and worldwide) and indeed the subject itself can prove heavy and intense, this is an ultimately extremely uplifting and...

Welcome /// Welcome /// Welcome to your weekly instalment of the all seeing, all knowing and all chatting Distraction Pieces Podcast, presented by Scroobius Pip! Episode one hundred and twenty this week - and holy heck here comes John Bradley of Game Of Thrones strolling casually into the podcast control room! A truly great convo with Pip and John, covering all things Game Of Thrones - from the story, to the background, to the involvement of the king himself George R R Martin, to his character Samwell, how it affected the greater television landscape, and also some very interesting nuggets on his attitude towards social media and why he doesn't entertain it, some great wrestling talk, media in general and just a whole gang of goodness for your listening enjoyment. A lovely guy - and as with some of the wrestling-geared podcasts, you most certainly do not have to be a fan of Game Of Thrones to get down with this - nor do you have to have seen any episodes even. You probably have... And probably should...... &

1. Welcome. 2. Welcome. 3. Welcome. You are welcomed, basically, to episode 118 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast which this week decided to take a brief stop-off at the Whiff Inn for some gentle advance refreshment! It would seem that said refreshment was such a success that it evolved from a brief stop to a very lengthy and comfortable stay... And as such, you are now making ground on the vast frontier of episode one of FOUR of this week's episode... It's a DrunkCast, people! LOOK ALIVE! Join your - at this point - relatively sober host Scroobius Pip, the estimable Redshift Rebels homie in chief Christopher Glasson and the Whiff Inn governor himself Stu Whiffen on another grand adventure through popular culture ("youth culture" as Stu is keen to highlight) and all things pertinent to the fellas since their last catchup. MMA, films, music, television, clubnight goodness, experiences in the outside world and behind closed doors, and all manner of gossip from here to there. From to to fro. East to West.... &#

A triple-stack of welcomes upon your good self to this, the one hundred and seventeenth episode of the perpetually polished and buffed-up Distraction Pieces podcast with your host Mister Scroobius Pip! A powerful and shameless display of podcasting goodness this week with the highly requested, heavily demanded Frankie Boyle! Hold tight as Pip and Frankie (there's an animated crime-solving duo if ever there was one) summit the comedy mountain and check off all kinds of flags along the journey, including hip hop (UK and grime specifically) and how Frankie's made efforts to apply to skill and dedication of the music to his own craft, his comic leanings and influences, his image of being somewhat on the offensive side in UK comedy and how his comedy is often misconstrued, heroes in comedy, the reality of alcoholism, reality television and popular culture and all that these topics entail... A huge amount to tackle and all manoeuvred through with precision and skill. Lovely. Get into it.  See acast.com/p

Welcome, welcome, welcome and good day to you, Team 3W! It is episode 116 of the radio friendly, golden voiced, always fine tuned Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip, and this week you are treated the routinely awesome presenter Queen on high, Edith Bowman! Kicking things off with no delay by first delving deep into all things film geek, as Pip and Edith go head to head in their cinematic love and knowledge - and of course that doesn't end there, as the conversation meanders wonderfully through Edith's media journey and upbringing (through her many varied and high level presenting roles), but never drifts too far from film island. You can hear and feel Edith's passion for film and soundtracks permeate through every second of their talk, and it's a fascinating accompaniment to your hopefully already Edith-ful day to day listening. Enriching and inspiring goodness. ••••• EDITH'S WEBSITE : http://www.edithbowman.com (and home of her 'Soundtracking' podcast) ••••• EDITH'S TWITTER :...  See a

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME back to PART 2 of a hefty double dose of Distraction Pieces / Satin Lizards Lounge greatness... Peep the last episode for a full background of how this came about (and if you're seeing this episode before the first part, certainly go back and grab that one immediately!), but here we have the remaining three guests from what would have been Pip's curated Bestival lineup. Check this lot out... PART 2 GUESTLIST! • HOLLIE McNISH! • JACK ROOKE! • CECILIA KNAPP! A superb conclusion to this one-two punch (the friendly kind, naturally) with poignant and very real first-person parental scientifics from Hollie, the art of grieving and how to change the perspective from Jack, and rounding it up nicely with emotional and brilliantly acute observation from Cecilia. What a way to tie these two episodes together...

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, hosted by Scroobius Pip! And once more it's another solid slammer of a show, this week featuring Neil Woods of UK LEAP and now published author! The perfect companion podcast to your steady diet of Distraction Pieces Network goodness (alongside Say Why To Drugs and Stop & Search), as Neil brings nothing but wisdom, refreshing outlooks and sobering stories which you will be glad you sat in on... Neil talks about his background in the police force, beginning as an honest, innocent and well-meaning officer, then going on to chart his course into full on undercover work and the incredibly murky, almost entirely lights-out-dark world of the underground drug scene and the dealers who operate within. Scary, threatening and funny stories from a true veteran, and an enlightening look into the world of prohibition alternatives and the work that UK LEAP does behind and in front of the scenes. Get involved, get informed...

W-W-WELCOME to DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST: EPISODE 113: PART 2 - featuring, as before, Scroobius Pip as always, and again, as before, Limmy! Let's pick up from part 1 shall we...? Another revealing and refreshing nugget of podcast goodness fading in seamlessly from the previous instalment, where we join Limmy's quest from the crushing lows and internal struggles that one may face, as Limmy talks honestly and openly about fatherhood and life in general, and his climbing of the comedy ladder right up to his current touring antics, book release and future plans.

WELCOME welcome welcome high and low, far and wide, to another bumper of a Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Congratulations on your download. You have made the correct choice. Especially being that this week the guest is comedy giant Brian "Limmy" Limond! A perfect back and forth with Glasgow's comic mastermind Limmy (and on occasion, mainly forth as Pip joins us, the listener, and lets Limmy hold court!), combing through the action packed origin story and leading us right up to around the present day, exposing the thrilling fun times as well as revealing the deep dark lows in a thoroughly down to earth fashion, including drink, fatherhood and all that entails. Such a powerful and relatable talk, and definitely one for the Limmy heads as well as those who are perhaps unfamiliar with the man behind 'Limmy's Show' and 'Daft Wee Stories' among so much more...
