Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the very hilarious comic, writer and podcaster MARK WATSON!

You can go ahead and add "long overdue guest" somewhere in the salutation there too, as Mark is someone who's been missing from the DPP alumni for way too long. Mark's been busy performing comedy all around the globe for a minute, and at some point you will have heard Pip proclaim his love for 'No More Jockeys' - the theme quiz with Tim Key, Alex Horne and Mark, so you'll likely know him from at least one point of entry. If not, fear not, as this is a lovely chat where no former knowledge is required! Pip and Mark go into several menu items including the perils of being 40+ (get your ailments bingo card prepped), peeing in odd places like a regular stray dog, getting lifts with parents as an adult, famous contacts in one's phone, riders at shows (ie backstage snax, beverages and more), surprise Mum spottings, squeezing material out of rugged situations when it might be better to just not have the situation, and his new podcast project (link below). Enjoy!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with David Earl & Joe Wilkinson, originally episode 99 from 2016-05-24.

Original writeup below:
Welcome, welcome, welcome to your 99th - NINETY NINTH - Wednesday-fresh instalment of the powerful, the savage, the almighty Distraction Pieces podcast. This week is a tag-team of sorts - it's the UK comedy gems David Earl & Joe Wilkinson! You probably know David Earl from his cringingly brilliant 'Brian Gittins' character, or 'Cumbo', and perhaps you've see Joe Wilkinson holding it down on '8 Out of 10 Cats' (and the Countdown cross-pollenation) and in various TV spots - well whether you do or not, now is your chance to get on a perfect level with the two of 'em, as Pip delves all the way into their backgrounds and presents in a lovely chat with a ton of awesome backstories, gossip, and the journey from the early days up to now and what the future holds. Naturally there is some good Ricky Gervais talk ('Derek' and so much more), UK comedy science as we hear from David and how Brian Gittins happened, and of course their new combined project 'Rovers'! So much. A full on entertainment showdown.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the awesome actor and now also game designer ABUBAKAR SALIM!

What an absolute gem of an episode you have before you right here, as Pip checks in with Abubakar, one of the most power-move making-est actors in the game. You'll likely/surely recognize him from House Of The Dragon (Alyn of Hull), or Raised By Wolves (serving iconic costume realness), but chances are you might have also come into contact with his game 'Tales Of Kenzera' too. Even if none of those ring any bells, Abubakar is someone you'll get along with from jump, and has tales and perspective for days - working with Ridley Scott and what that process taught him, how the House Of The Dragon casting came about (crank call instincts on high alert), and how the inclusion of game design factored into life. A lovely chat with loads to enjoy for wherever you connect in those touchpoints, so enjoy!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Professor Green, originally episode 223 from 2018-08-15.

Original writeup below:
As always with the Distraction Pieces Podcast, the chat does most definitely NOT focus on the main aspect you might be expecting, but covers a crazy amount of ground in the time the two have. And what a range on offer… Mr Green is clearly suffering from the after effects of some good time fun (with mate Example) the previous night but comes through it in fine form, leaping from topic to topic with ease, including how hard it must be to be a horrible bastard, the current state of society, news overload, the loss of hands-on skills, his insane experiences in solitary (for documentary reasons), dealing with the stress and fear of negative emotions, feeling the feels and not using crutches, troubled past, how folk can become comfortable and not take part in society, the greater subject of dogs and his own documentary work on what are considered difficult breeds, education, role models, Brexit, his touring days with Lily Allen and the difference in live music these days. All with tons in between of course. So dig deep and enjoy this in depth chat with Professor Green!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fabulous writer and director RYAN CONDAL!

A genuine treat for anyone in the least bit invested in all things Game Of Thrones and House Of The Dragon lore. Pip catches up with someone who is dealing with one of the tasks in recent times, which is showrunning a series with much expectation on its head. With past success and proven track record, turns out the hands it's in are very safe indeed, but nevertheless it is fascinating to hear how the whole thing is assembled and taken from writing room to screen. As you would expect, it takes a long time and there are no shortcuts, but what a pleasure in a time when so many shortcuts are made for us and the path is usually all about speed and quick results. So much goodness for the fans and appreciators in here, and those who are yet to begin their quest (god bless you!). As Ryan says, "We're not going to do the comfortable thing that you expect or want" - if that doesn't excite you, maybe House Of The Dragon isn't for you! ENJOY.
