emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Charlie Brooker , originally episode 275 from 2019-06-26. Original writeup below: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– …but don’t by any means think that Black Mirror is a one man show, as Charlie himself will ensure you know how important Annabel Jones is in the whole creative process! He and Pip get all the way into the whole Black Mirror phenomenon, how it works and what it is to be a showrunner, the rise of Black Mirror in the US, how Charlie is the Drake of TV according to Pip (you’ll enjoy this theory), how the auteur theory is bullshit, presenting the show to Netflix, having an exit strategy in a series and how there are less exits in a film as opposed to an episode, Bandersnatch and the three episode season, his older work including Dead Set, Nathan Barley and the various ‘-Wipes, his Screen Burn column and how haters could improve their hater game by reading some of his columns for how to REALLY dis someone… * Production note: Pip had a backup recorder running, and you’ll hear some of this at the start for a minute or so, but after that the audio is straight from the mics. Just in case you wondered why the quality shifts a touch!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by RHYS & EGGSY of GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN ! Pip is joined by 2 remaining members of the Newport rap crew whose classic jam "Guns Don't Kill People (Rappers Do)" will surely be in your mind already... If you're unfamiliar, that would be a really good starting place to capture the vibe of these fun loving rap folks. For those of us who were around and present at the time the crew blew up, you'll have a mix of fond and irritating memories (through pure catchiness of said single), but it's all done with tongue in cheek and a good spirit of playfulness. Actually the beat on 'Guns...' is pretty tight tho... So enjoy this three-way chat covering many elements including working in retail, the road to music and fame, how's life in Newport, understanding accents, global success and even a bonus on-air scam call up top! The timing couldn't be more perfect. Have fun with, it's a nice revisit to a time a couple of decades ago, a time which is now on a nostalgia shelf but always worth looking back on.

Original writeup below: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– You are cordially welcomed, and tripley so, as we tiptoe ever closer to the Distraction Pieces milestone, the centenary, the HUNDREDTH EPISODE... But enough about that - let's concentrate on episode 98 and be present in the moment shall we... It's Essex's wrestling superstar Mr Will Ospreay! Ever since Pip had a chance meeting outside a Progress Wrestling event at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and then witnessed Will rip it up, it's been a matter of time until the two got together in the podcast ring and got their verbal grapple on and talk pure wrestling goodness, which will be a joy to wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike... A great chat with a very grounded and humble professional, who has made it up the ladder and continues to ascend, all the while keeping himself down to earth while working a DIY job. Career, personal life, goals, lessons learned, Progress, New Japan, and pure positive energy right here - get in!!!

1:02:47

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip catches you up on what's been developing in his section of the film making world. Saying 'Pip catches you up" is a very broad sweep of an expression actually. If you follow Pip on socials and have been charting the moves in his making of 'Area Of Oustanding Natural Beauty' (the short-turned-long film backed by many on Kickstarter), you'll have seen him opening up in raw, emotional honesty about the decision to shelf the project. Shelf does not mean disappear. But it's a really sad position to be in, as the leader and instigator of the project. The feeling of responsibility, the feeling of letting multiple people down, not to mention the reality of a project not being realised to full potential after so much work being put into it. As well as the co-existing reality of the state of affairs of working class art being almost impossible to make right now. Let's let Pip take the stage on this one though, and you'll also get a moment to hear the Instagram video which caught Pip at the most publically vulnerable stage of what you could call the creative grieving process. We are so used to hearing about the wins. The successes. The 'killing it' mindset. We don't often hear about the projects and ideas which didn't make it. Maybe we can find a way to celebrate them all as one... Join Pip to hear about the journey.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Mary J. Blige , originally episode 252 from 2019-02-13. Original writeup below: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– “…When you give your all, you win…” Absolute solid gold crown wearing greatness for you here, as Pip sits down with the phenomenal Ms. Blige for a thoroughly entertaining and uplifting chat. She’s been making the rounds in promotion of her new starring role as ‘Cha-Cha’ in the amazing ‘The Umbrella Academy’, an adaptation of an equally amazing graphic novel, and she spent some time breaking down the whole experience with Pip in this rare interview. They get to cover a HUGE amount of goodies, ranging from her love of the script and its connections to real life, being educated in how to correctly beat up a person and do a ton of crazy stunts (until things got a touch too insane), the madness of the costumes, her love of learning and growth through roles, how she killed it in a Christmas play as a kid, growing up in the projects and how that didn’t allow much room for dreaming, her non-braggy style and, of course, her illustrious and celebrated music career (including her friendship and career beginnings with a young Notorious BIG!). From music to acting but without ever losing sight or sound of her backgrounds, it’s a heartwarming one here folks as you might expect from a true veteran of the entertainment industry. You’ll love it.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by GRACE NEUTRAL , founder of FEMME FATALE TATTOO ! Of course, as with all intros, it is impossible to sum up Grace by a role or a title. Grace is also a force of energy and natural spring of positivity in the wide world of the tattoo, as you will hear in this in person chat with Pip. Positivity and new ways of thinking aren't always a given though, sometimes these are things that need to happen through experience and ultimately wisdom, all of which Grace has in abundance. Among other subjects including the one that you would indeed expect, Grace and Pip catch up on the joy of dogs and animals, how Grace founded Femme Fatale, the unfortunate side of tattoo work and the humans who contribute to it, humble origins, how misogyny can generate among women in toxic male environments, being a boss and how to do that, surviving abusive relationships in enabling towns, and fostering safe inclusive spaces for those who would benefit. It's fun, it's deep, it's light, and it's heavy. It has it all.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Alan Moore , originally episode 3 from 2014-10-29. A huge episode in the Distraction Pieces canon, as Pip caught up with Alan - at time of publishing - over a decade ago in Alan's house. It was the early days of the podcast and of course the style and flow of the show was developing, but this was a fabulous sign of things to come and that even when the show was a toddler, it was looking at a mountain of greatness. AND HERE WE ARE! Alan is an immense figure in the world of comic books and writing, and whether or not this is a world in which you dabble, it's a really great one to pick up on if you missed it back then (and if so you are indeed forgiven).

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is part 4 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'. Our fourth guest is climate activist ROSIE HAMPTON. Hopefully by now, if you've caught all four of the episodes in this miniseries (which will have slotted in seamlessly into your regularly scheduled listening), you'll have heard about how climate action - while not the most uplifting subject - can be a very positive and accessible universe to engage with. At times of course the whole subject can seem intimidating as, for sure, individually we can't solve this one. BUT - when we work together and realise the powers we do have, and work with what we can in the realms of our imediate surroundings first, there is a huge amount to be positive and hopeful for. This episode with Rosie will surely add to that feeling, and among so much more you'll hear how she found herself in this area and how career paths merged and blended, how to work with fossil fuel companies in a way which can make things better for the world in general as well as the employees, the idea of death by a million paper cuts when it comes to greedy and careless corporations, being strategic with movements and working with available skills and potential, the many shades of community action, and how ultimately we all get better through linking in our communities. As always, get a notebook or open the notes app, you'll do well to scribble some bits down!

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with John Cooper Clarke , originally episode 240 from 2018-11-21. Original writeup below! ––––––––––––––––––––––––– “If I was a band I would have split up years ago…” Hopefully you are aware of the fellow and his work, but if that’s not the case, well you have a glorious road ahead of you… Pip sits down with the legendary punk poet to comb through all the good stuff - being the force of nature he is, most of the heavy lifting is done by John himself but as you’ll hear, this is not a problem in the slightest. Just tune in and take a ride with the story telling genius and indulge in those sweet Northern tones. From history to now, it all gets covered - his inspirational teacher who encouraged him in all kinds of ways, cultivating his own style from the cast in his life and picking up little elements from everyone he appreciated, the cerebral of poetry vs the immediate of rock and roll, his love and adoption of American style and trends, aiming to be an ‘artist as professional citizen’, having the door to success opened to him by none other than Bernard Manning of all people, NO FLARES, gigging with The Fall, Chickentown, Arctic Monkeys, Michael Madson, and as you can imagine - AN IMMENSE AMOUNT MORE! So, so great. You’ll like this one. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature INSTAGRAM ALL JOHN LINKS HERE CHICKENTOWN ON THE SOPRANOS!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is part 3 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'. Our third guest is Greenpeace CEO AREEBA HAMID. A really great chance to hear from someone who could not be more involved with Greenpeace, in a capacity which has Areeba overseeing all that is happening in the company and from a vantage point which allows views into the - let's face it - incredibly shady world of oil companies. Companies which have seemingly taken notes from cartoon supervillains and considered it a good look. Areeba goes into really awesome depth with facts and knowledge (attributes which these days are not always celebrated) about such topics as the eternal bête noir of Shell, the doubling down of companies on all the bad behaviour, hiding research, greenwashing and sportswashing and public image, the David and Goliath energy of huge corporations chasing down movements like Greenpeace, how Greg from Succession foretold an event in Greenpeace's day to day, Shell's PR disaster, and how companies will always lose to humour and comedy. With the echo of the motto 'Stop Drilling And Start Paying' ringing in our ears, enjoy this episode with someone who can help shed some light on such sour times.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is part 2 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'. Our second guest is climate journalist DAISY DUNNE. A really fascinating and inspiring chat here with Pip and Daisy, following on from last week's episode with James Skeet of Just Stop Oil. Daisy is the associate editor of Carbon Brief, and is well equipped to deliver fact-based information in an accessible way, and has been working in the field for a minute. You'll hear about how it is to reconcile one's life while being entrenched in this area of expertise, what Carbon Brief is exactly, her beginnings as a science journalist, secret manilla envelopes and a real life spy movie premise, being on assignment in the arctic, attribution science, her very own 'polar bear moment', and working for the Independent - among a huge amount of other climate related gems and jewels.

Just Stop Oil's JAMES SKEET (Climate Solutions For Realists miniseries Part 1) #612 53:50

53:50

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is part 1 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'. Our first guest is JAMES SKEET of JUST STOP OIL. You likely had an instant reaction when you saw 'Just Stop Oil'. You may have also felt something when you saw the name of the miniseries centred around climate. But is it something you've heard about first hand? And - like many of us - has it just been too much to take on board? What's important to know is that nothing you'll hear this month in this selection of episodes will be a constant tell-off-athon or be led by people shaking their heads at you in judgement. For one thing that would suck and be no fun whatsoever for anyone, but for another that simply achieves nothing either. In this episode, you'll hear from James who is fighting a fight, believe it or not, for the good of all of us and the world. There will be points including how oil companies infiltrate their way into laws which affect us all, how social change requires discomfort, and the situation we're currently in. Of course it's an immensely difficult and bundled up layer-heavy conversation with a huge amount of feelings, thoughts, opinions and perspectives. But without listening to James, you're missing out on a really crucial voice in all of this. So please, wherever you stand on the issue (no judgement, as said), take this episode on board. It's fascinating and you're also hearing him in a context not often offered either - this isn't James in defence mode. This is information delivery combined with conversation. Listen, share if you feel it, and let's see what we can do with all this.
