Liam Howlett (The Prodigy) • 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 Liam Howlett, originally episode 237 (a 2 parter) from 2018-10-31.


Original writeup below:

“…I like tension in music… and I think the stage is where it manifests itself…”

A rare one right here folks, as Liam spends a good chunk of time chatting with Pip on all things Prodigy and solo, spanning the entirety of his incredible career. Such an engaging and interesting talk, running through the lot - from how he generates ideas and keeps writing through the craziness of tour life, the influence of punk, two-tone, hip hop and electro, early days winning mixtape competitions, the days of early rave and being introduced to acid house by Westwood of all people (circuitously but kind of!), the meeting of Nick Halkes up at XL Records and hand to hand demo hustling, the immediacy of making beats over learning instruments, moving from sonic landscape to sonic landscape naturally, the difference of harder over faster, the importance of image, finding the perfect band setup over a decade after their start, the amazing origin story of their hit Firestarter, their natural progression as a band, the Beastie Boys situation and just SO much more… And this is only part 1… KEEP IT LOCKED, PEOPLE!!!

Edgar Wright: the man behind The Running Man returns! (The Running Man / Baby Driver / Scott Pilgrim) #644

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined once more by the phenomenal director and true film lover EDGAR WRIGHT!


Edgar is what we call a friend of the podcast. He can come and sleep on the couch at a moment's notice, we'll help him move house, drive him to the airport, whatever he wants. And in turn he is also your friend! You don't have to do all that extra stuff tho, don't worry. Edgar is a genuine treasure in the filmmaking world, a true collaborator and someone who carries a permament mark of quality - you can trust anything that comes with Edgar's name attached. So it's a pleasure to bring him back to DPP especially when The Running Man is in full promo frenzy mode... Of course you'll get to hear all about the process of bringing that one to screen, the Easter eggs, nuggets, behind the scenes goodies (including getting Arnie's blessing for Arniebucks), as well as all the movie science you will have come to expect and enjoy from him. Pure entertainment - go ahead and enjoy AND of course go see The Running Man!

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.

Craig Mazin: delivering script notes and dropping science on the small and big screen (Chernobyl / The Last Of Us / Scriptnotes Podcast) #642

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the incredible screenwriter, showrunner, producer and dungeon master CRAIG MAZIN!


Craig is a self proclaimed Pipster! Which bodes incredibly well as an opening gambit right there... This is such a treat of an episode which anyone possessing an interest in the making of television (and cinema in general) will get an immense kick out of. Chances are you will know Craig from his recent work on The Last Of Us, some of you may go back to the Chernobyl miniseries times, and some even further to the Hangover movies, but none of these can be considered pigeonholes. There is so much in the craft of these projects, and as viewers of them will know - the humanity is undeniable, and that's something that just cannot be faked or phoned-in. So what you hear here is a conversation with someone who makes incredible shows and movies, informed by a love of the work, the people involved, and life in general. To hear that he was once blamed by a critic for being "singularly responsible for degrading Western Civilization" will make absolutely negative sense by the time you've heard this. Oh and stay for the shared Barney story too, cos that rules. Basically - too much to sum up here - just listen and enjoy, it's a classic DPP right here!

Armando Iannucci (The Death Of Stalin / In The Loop / Veep) • 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 Armando Iannucci, originally episode 174 from 2017-10-24.


Original writeup below:

Responsible for an insane amount of some of the greatest UK comedy since the 90's, including the writing and production of 'The Day Today' which spawned Alan Partridge and the Partridge multiverse, 'The Thick Of It', 'Time Trumpet', and US based 'Veep', Armando is clearly a titan of the game. With his new production 'The Death Of Stalin' (in cinemas NOW!), he's been grinding it out on the media promo run, but is sharp as a katana as he sits down with Pip for a nice long chat covering all the necessary bases and loads more that you'd hope to hear about, including said promo run grind and the madness of it all, especially seeing your own film countless times, being mindful of not using the victims of the subject of his film for comedy and finding that material from many various other sources, social media and how the echo chamber is reinforced and debate is fading, how the film draws parallels with today's US presidency even though it was filmed months before Trump's election win, and how to successfully wrangle an all star cast in order to promote efficiency on set. Tons more obviously but yeah, super entertaining and a must for Armando fans and those who appreciate the craft of writing and production. Get into it!

Dissecting Disfluency (w/ Cherry Burns) #641

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip discusses the broad topic of disfluency with journalist CHERRY BURNS!


Those of you familiar with Pip's Twitch channel and the community within might well be familiar with Cherry, but if not, all is well as here is your formal introduction! Although their role is two-fold, as guest and interviewer, with Pip as the subject. Today (at time of episode publishing) is Wednesday 22nd October, which is International Stammering Awareness Day. With Pip being a person with a stammer as well as a patron of the organisation Stamma, it would be a missed opportunity to celebrate the event and that is exactly what's going down today! This is a chance for those of you who stammer, as well as those of you who do not, to listen in on a conversation covering a vast amount of points and topics within the greater world of stammering that you might not usually hear. It's a wonderful chance to gain some insight into not only what it is, but how it can come into play in day to day life, the issues that might otherwise go unseen or unheard, but also the added compensatory factors that can kick in as a result. Something that comes up in the chat is about how stammering is not the problem, it's how the world meets the stammer that is the problem, which is a really interesting swing on it all. So please, listen and enjoy, it's a really fun episode and definitely one we can all gain something from, and ultimately celebrate. Shouts to Cherry too for being an awesome guest interviewer!

Kevin Smith (Mallrats / Chasing Amy / Clerks) • 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 Kevin Smith, originally episode 302 from 2019-12-04.


Original writeup below:

SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES! What a joy this is… While it is a slightly shorter episode, Pip could hardly turn Kevin down now could he…? Exactly. Unthinkable. So sit back and enjoy as Kevin essentially takes the reins with this one! It was expected though, as Kevin has basically found his true North by way of talking and telling stories for a living these days. But that’s not to say he’s thrown in the towel on films - oh good god no, as you will surely be aware of by the fact that his Jay & Silent Bob Reboot film is out and about and making much noise in the View Askew-niverse. This here is a chance to hear all about that, and the past hits in the Smith catalogue, as well as a gang of talking points including his gratefulness for being able to express himself for a living, the difference between making podcasts and movies, the younger Smith laying the foundations for later on, the power of the Q&A, brushes with death, and tons more but all held together with a true understanding of what he means to his fanbase and the importance of his products. A delightful whirlwind - enjoy!

Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip
Miranda Sawyer: contextualising the music scene of an entire decade (Uncommon People / Talk 90's To Me) #640

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by legendary writer, journalist, critic and cultural treasure MIRANDA SAWYER!


A natural fit in the Distraction Pieces jigsaw, Miranda is someone who was pretty much destined to eventually join Pip for an episode. As a necessary firm fixture in much of the music media of the 90's (and well beyond, of course), Miranda's got decades in the game and is awesomely well versed in basically all of it. The book is 'Uncommon People' which is out now and essential reading for anyone with a passing interest in 90's Britpop, but on top of that you'll hear a good ton of bits and pieces including the recording of podcasts and the importance of them in Miranda's career, an early dabbling in a career in law, working with such publications as Smash Hits / Select / The Face (and more), the broadness of 90's Britpop and how it wasn't sipmply Oasis vs Blur, 'Smashing' club, Tricky being tricky, being a woman into music and the unchecked sexism back then (not that it's gone anywhere), what constitutes a scene, and making a living being a musician or journalist. Super fun but also incredibly relevant, and anything about the past will reveal so much about our present, especially with the hindsight of 25-30 years. Enjoy!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Action Bronson, originally episode 347 from 2020-09-30.


Original writeup below:

There’s no doubt about it, Action has done a ton in the past decade and by the looks of it all, had a goddamn blast while doing it. But he’s always kept a very decent squad around him and stayed on track and focused, as you can tell by his insane output and varied resumé. Here’s a chance to catch up with dude as he talks over the internet to Pip about it all - working out, old skool gaming, pandemic UFC, how he got into rap music and the cassette culture that came along with it, New York, an alternate universe chef career, features with rappers and being in the studio with some of the greatest, eating well, knocking humbleness on the head, acting in a Scorcese film, being behind a show from concept to credits and MAD amounts more in between.

Adam Buxton: put on your conversation coat and find your talking hat (Adam Buxton Podcast / Buckle Up / I Love You, Byeee) #639

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by podcaster, author, musician and all round lovely human ADAM BUXTON!


A home run of an episode right here as Pip checks in with original podcast homie Adam on all things! And it really is all things, but most pertinent at this moment in time is Adam's new album of full song material 'Buckle Up' - something he's been hinting at for ages on his own podcast (and we all hoped for, on the strength of the jingles), and now has its own home on Decca Records no less. A lot of lovely behind the scenes action on that, but Pip and Adam also check in on such items as the act of sharing with guests on a podcast, Werner Herzog's Zoom odyssey, clashes of guest bookings and the hierarchy of talent, the Clipse parallel, losing loved ones and authoring books, to honest or not to honest, taking people up on help offers, sitting with things and not avoiding them, major label biz, the genesis of songs (not the songs of Genesis), being the right side of annoying and playing your own music for folks. So much goodness and gems and all sorts on here, you're in the company of the pro's with this one - sit back and relax and enjoy. We love you. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Spike Lee, originally episode 225 from 2018-08-24.


Original writeup below:

While Spike is getting his promotion grind on for his new film BlacKkKlansman (which you should make efforts to see as it’s just been released in the UK), he fit in some Pip time which is perfect as you know Pip is quite the cinephile! So this is a grand opportunity to get in some genuine directorial knowledge from a true long term veteran in the game. You will also witness a first in the Distraction Pieces Podcast as Spike lays down a “no comment” - more on that in the podcast! Ground covered includes how he’s always been around and this isn’t a return, how BlacKkKlansman wasn’t planned and how Jordan Peele put the bug in his ear, the 70’s look of the film while being contemporary, the natural humour in the film and how it derives from such a wild premise, the importance of music, how the director of photography needs to be in sync with the director, giving actors their debuts, rolling with the changes in cinema and establishing himself as the Spike Lee of all Spike Lee Joints! A huge episode. You will enjoy. It’s fair to say this is a Spike Lee Joint.

Justin Tipping: you will see Him (Him / Kicks / Flatbush Misdemeanors) #638

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the bold and awesome director JUSTIN TIPPING!


Maybe here and there you've heard rumblings not unlike the ones Pip cites up top on the intro, but in a time when creativity can even be treated and regarded as a rebellious and awesomely unique act, you can also take said rumblings with a pinch of salt and just engage in some powerful cinematic moments. This could be the suggested move with Him, Justin's new movie made with Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions, which sounds like a very beautiful piece of thrilling sport-centred action.

Expect to hear Justin touch on such menu items as being cautious of dropping the ball (pun intended) with Monkeypaw, the consideration of budgets, how different the reception is to his other projects and the undertones within some of those (many lines in which to read between...), the importance of visual style, lookbooks, intesive training for everyone's sake (including SFX), and working with comic actors. So much in not a huge amount of time. A wonderful chat - forget the noise out there, just jump in for heck's sake.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Stephen Graham, originally episode 87 from 2016-03-09.


Original writeup below:

Not one, not two, but THREE welcomes upon you as standard to episode 87 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, with Kirby's own cinema superstar Mr Stephen Graham! Full on good time chatter goodness from Pip and Stephen as they get along like old pals (with one very important thing in common - no spoilers here yo, you'll find out), and we glean much from Stephen's diverse acting career. From his beginnings as a self proclaimed scally out on the streets to his acting school progressions right up to his well earned and crazy great roles in some gigantic cinema smashes like Snatch, Pirates Of The Caribbean, This Is England and starring in the massive Boardwalk Empire as none other than Al Capone. AND starring alongside our very own Pip too in the forthcoming 'Taboo'! A lovely chat, with a lovely guy. Distract yerself fully with this one folks.

Christopher Chung: all across the map to Slough House (Slow Horses / Blitz) #637

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the wonderful multi talent CHRISTOPHER CHUNG!


An ultra inspiring chat featuring the insanely talented Christopher, in a catchup with Pip which goes all across the timeline from the wayback early days to what's coming ahead. He's had a full on action packed journey from his origins in Australia to where he currently finds himself, and there are tons of points where forks in the road presented themselves and could have led to an entirely different life. Thankfull he stayed on track and we all now have some amazing work as a result! From early day singing, making his was to the UK via acting, working alongside national treasure Gary Oldman (and Kathy Burke at one point), meeting his wife in a stage production, playing against 'nerd' stereotypes and so much more, this is one for the appreciators but if you have never seen or heard Christopher before, this will 100% kickstart your new appreciation.

SPOILER-ISH SLOW HORSES chat around 37 minutes in if you've just started - a couple of references to seasons 2 and 4, just so you know. Nothing too heavy - merely letting you know.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Mae Martin, originally episode 314 from 2020-02-26.


Original writeup below:

A tremendous meetup of Pip and Mae, and dare I say a long overdue one at that… You’ll get to hear all about Mae in the greater scale and sense, from back in the day to… now… in the day…? Yeah that sounds fine to me… But yeah, everything from then to now, including what they are doing THIS VERY MOMENT, and by that of course I mean starring in the simultaneously hilariously funny and brutally honest Feel Good, which looks set to blow up worldwide. So expect to hear it all from how to view the series (best served binged), the weirdness of editing trailers, getting the correct audience, Canada (Oh Canada), the process of getting a set together, Mae the character and Mae the person, sex scenes and writing a proudly LGBT show, humanising addition, the casting process, digging deep into personal history and the transition from Canada to London but SO MUCH MORE of course. Folks, your new best friend, Mae Martin!

Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip
Chris & Pip's Staylist for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably • link in shownotes) #636

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the Hardcore Listing homie and everyday life homie CHRIS GLASSEN!


You might have heard the pre-show shouts from Pip over the past few weeks, regarding a tie-in with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). CALM are trying to raise funds to maintain their literally life-saving service, a service which aims to help people end misery, not their lives. You'll likely have heard Pip and Chris refer to their dearly departed friend Jay, a friend whose legacy lives on and - as you'll always hear - is celebrated in the spirit of the relationship Pip and Chris (and Stu) have. Fun, mischievous, but built on a foundation of love and admiration.

With the 'Staylists' which you might have heard before some episodes lately, the aim is to present various awesome things that are basically worth staying around for. You're listening to a podcast hosted by someone who has dedicated his life to arts and culture, and so it makes sense that these elements are immensely important to the daily processing of life and what it brings. The heavy times, the lighter moments, all of it. So here, Pip and Chris deliver a powerful setlist of cool things that Jay would have loved over the past 20+ years he hasn't been here.

This isn't something you get on every podcast, this is a unique blend of two people combing through fun and funny times, grief, emotion, and all the while involving us all in the convo while also giving us some solid recommendations. If it isn't clear in the above, it is a very fun episode! Just good to know what the background is before you jump in. If you're not in a zone right now for references to grief and death, we've got back catalogue for days - and if you're affected personally by these issues, hit up CALM, and Samaritans are also right there if you need them. Love to you all XXX

Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip
Karl Pilkington (Ricky Gervais XFM Show / An Idiot Abroad / Derek) • 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 Karl Pilkington, originally episode 306 from 2020-01-08.


Original writeup below:

While some see Karl as the grumpy one of the original podcast trio consisting of him, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, as you will hear in this podcast right here - it wasn’t necessarily grumpiness. Nor was it disinterest. Karl was looking through the world through a different prism, and certainly a prism of which we should all have a go at experiencing. It’s really nice hearing him get around ideas at leisure and with Pip (and us) as a sounding board, and definitely a really cool way of sharing the worldview of one of the more fascinating characters in the cast of podcasts, series and media in general. The two get into it all, from the origins of podcasting (kind of beginning with the Gervais one of course), to his thoughts on the promo run, to confidence, last minute tinkering, being a fan of real life and the fine line between that and comedy, ponderings on having children, the XFM days, being rubbed the wrong way by Ricky, his genuine curiosity, working on Derek, people being over familiar and a charming spider story to round it off. Brilliant. Enjoy!

Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip
Mark Steel: making gold with tragedy and comedy (The Leopard In My House / The Mark Steel Lectures / Vive La Revolution) #635

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the legendary comic MARK STEEL!


It's entirely likely you'll have been listening to and watching the work of Mark for decades now - he's been hard at work for a minute, and the fanbase is strong indeed. As you'll hear, Pip's been on board for years, starting with the Mark Steel Lectures. Here we have a really lovely catchup with these two as Mark leads the way through his past and present, and as with so much in life, it's a potent mix of all angles. Presently we find Mark having recently battled throat cancer, which as you can imagine features as a big topic here - something which no doubt Mark is still processing and recovering from. On that note, it could be advised that Mark doesn't hold back on some details (neither should he), so just mentioning that for those who might appreciate the alert. But it's also pretty incredible that not only do we get to hear about what happened in the past tense, we get to hear it through Mark himself, as even talking as a way of communicating was a difficult thing to weave around. All that said - he is a comic, so there's a huge amount of fun and laughter and the whole episode is a real joy (and TONS of random facts. Catch him on the road, the schedule is packed...
