Helen Chamberlain (Soccer AM / animal rescue hero) • Friday Rewind
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Helen Chamberlain, originally episode 171 from 2017-10-04.Original writeup below:A real lovely one this week as Pip properly catches up with his old mate and TV presenting legend Helen Chamberlain! "No-one knows if I jumped of if I was pushed..." Of course MANY of you will be well acquainted with Helen from her epic and heroic stint on Soccer AM (and will naturally still be heartbroken by her absence there), but to those of you who are unfamiliar - and those of you who know her solely from Soccer AM - this is a true breakdown of her career and how every step along the way has "accidentally" led to the next. From her current position looking after a seemingly unending crew of animals on her farm (rescue dogs - which you will hear from, alpacas, llamas, boars, ponies, horses, chickens and for sure there are more than that), which was preceded by her run on the chaotic and awesome and also very zoo-like Soccer AM (which changed and influenced the TV game in huge ways), she has been sports and animal-adjacent for a good portion of said career. But as you will hear, she has always landed on her feet on top of the game and won the hearts of those around her. Oh and she will mess you up good at poker too. Believe. Get to know and love Helen Chamberlain! Or get to love her MORE!

Harry Baker: your poet best friend! (pre-order the new book 'Tender' now / Something Borrowed podcast) #643
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the absolute whirlwind of joy and good vibes, the poet HARRY BAKER!A meeting which is also a reunificiation, as Pip and Harry go back a good many years in the scene. Admittedly their time has been separated over the years, but that's the beauty of the scheduled recording! An excuse to leap back in. As you'll hear, while Harry has a flag planted in poetry, his world merges perfectly with comedy and humour as well as music, which lends his style to a huge amount of open doors out there for what he does. From the earlier days discovering Hip Hop via a cool teacher, to peppering raps with humour while not laughing at the artform, poems about maths and verging on being typecast as the 'maths poet' (though he does do the only poem with a pi-solo), silence and holding the room, developing technique the hard way by working rooms, Bestival, all the way up to daily poem writing through the first 100 days of a newborn. Yes of course there is so much more than that. But that's where you come in. So enjoy, and discover more about Harry through all links below - you'll love him.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMMANY HARRY LINKSPRE-ORDER NEW BOOK 'TENDER'UPCOMING GIGSSOMETHING BORROWED podcast (Youtube)SOMETHING BORROWED podcast (audio)SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
