Pip and Babak unexpectedly go back a way, as you'll hear up top on this episode, and from then on it's all about Babak - from their surprise meet at Wireless around 2008, to his background in film assisting with the editor's mind of it all, short films, his film Under The Shadow, childhood in Iran and adulthood in the UK, the masochism involved in film making and a huge amount more.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by UK acting superstar JOHN BRADLEY WEST!We caught up with young John back in October 2016, in those sepia toned and tobacco-tinted days of episode 120, no less... Well, as always, you can only imagine how much life has happened in those interviening 6 years, but John is back to bring us all back to speed! From the weird end time of his tenure on Game Of Thrones and the funky feelings of that period, to getting a call from J-Lo, to Moonfall and Marry Me, social media, creativity, The Railway Children and all the rest, this is a goody as you can imagine with so much happening. Enjoy the company of John Bradley West!DPP EP120 with PaddyINSTAGRAMTWITTERIMDBMOONFALLMARRY MESCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by national acting treasure and Distraction Pieces friend PADDY CONSIDINE!You may remember back all those years to 2015, when Paddy made his first appearance on the podcast... A huge amount of life has happened since then, and you're about to hear - well, condensed into an hour or so - all about it. We find Paddy in a good place, which is lovely to hear, and delve into the past again, in a number of ways, to hear about past advice he gave Pip in the first podcast appearance, class, revelations on Broadway, what is available to you with the appropriate outlook, that old ever present bastard of imposter syndrome, on set relationships, directing one's self, his past films including Journeyman and Tyrannosaur, House Of The Dragon, Riding The Low, and all the other extra trimmings tha come with all of that. A fantastic one which you'll love, and you're always in good company with Paddy - enjoy!DPP EP29 with Paddy

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by comic, host and writer FRANKIE BOYLE!I mean, multi-hyphenate would kind of sum it all up to some degree. This a very welcome catch up with Frankie, as he and Pip check in on everything since September 2016 - so not much to talk about then really...? So let's just say that the tip of the iceberg is approached at the very least, with a lot of Frankie goodness to indulge in including his new Fringe show, not relying on fallbacks, the scourge of essentialism, the path of optimism, Left Wing melancholia, dislike for the emphatic, how we read, Becket plays, meeting greater themes in play through real life mortality experiences (wow that's a book title right there), representation and so much more. Excellent stuff.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by new Distraction Pieces Network signees, the fabulous duo of CHARLIE & NINA!From - obviously - their podcast entitled Sex With Charlie & Nina. But previously of the podcast 2 Girls 1 Shop, in case you were fortunate enough to catch that one... The joy of the new one though is that it truly requires zero back story. Charlie and Nina talk about sex. And now you're all caught up! But if you are new to their world, you're in for true treats and knowledge and wisdom, as well as a lot of incredible back catalogue too. On this episode though, it's a fantastic chance to get to hear from them about all things past, present and future, including how they met, what got them into podcasting (or 'who' - in this case, mostly Stu Whiffen), building up a backlog of amazing stories, sex positivity, the 50 Shades effect, dealing with attitudes of all sorts, their experiences in dealing with the public in a shop and
