This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with PETER CAPALDI, originally episode 555 from 2024-02-21.

Original writeup below:

Depending on where you caught Peter on his timeline, you may know him as Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, or even Oldsen if you've seen Local Hero. Point is - Peter's been busy for decades, and continues to be so. He's also an awesome hang, as you will find out as Pip gets a good hour or so in his company. They get into all sorts, including of course the roles and acting experiences, but also the wide world of culture wars and nonsence arguments, problems with leadership, maintaining good vibes on set, London as a crime backdrop, the greatness of Glasgow, Lewis Capaldi and his relation to him, making diorama studios as a kid, and the hand of destiny in his acting career. NOT avoiding the hypetrain for the show brought to you by he and his wife, Criminal Record on Apple TV! So much to enjoy. Better step to it.

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

This week Pip is joined by the truly fabulous actor SHABANA AZEEZ!

A perfect behind the scenes of stage and screen chat with Shabana, fresh from Emmy celebrations and ready to get into it all. For some, this might be your first time hearing from Shabana especially if you're only just familiarising yourself with The Pitt (good for you) - but for others, you'll be well versed in her awesome acting range and path since back in the day. Of course, a huge amount has happened since the growing up days back in Adelaide, and it makes sense that we find Shabana right here as the acting and arts leanings have been there since her younger years. Here we hear about most of the roles, including of course The Pitt, but also the excellent The Airport Chaplain, and the lesser known but no less brilliantly titled Lesbian Space Princess - so much to get into, so let's cut this reading thing short and leave it to you to get listening immediately.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with JAMES BUCKLEY, originally episode 144 from 2017-03-29.

A fun one from way back in the day now, which Inbetweeners heads will love and newcomers (if such a thing is possible) will enjoy equally. Tons of goodness and fun in this one, which at time of publishing is almost 10 years old!

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

This week Pip is joined by the brilliant actor of stage and screen RALF LITTLE!

Fresh from a huge theatre round of 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', Ralf joins Pip for a long overdue chat which seemingly goes off on a bunch of tangents, but on closer inspection you'll hear how connected each strand really is. Of course a huge section involves acting and the science behind the performance (or more accurately, how to portray a role while not losing touch with your own brain), but elsewhere there are great angles involving the upcoming 'Hunting Alice Bell' and where the story came from, working with David Baddiel, the all seeing eye of Simon Pegg, getting into and out of Twitter storms, the mental clarity one can achieve by simply putting the phone down, expectations of various societal groups and mansplaining the 'Me Too' movement to a non-male acquaintance. It's a lot! Enjoy.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with RICHARD E GRANT, originally episode 250 from 2019-01-30.

Original writeup below:

Hopefully you will have caught his perfect video reaction to being nominated for an Oscar, which is of course well overdue but greatly deserved, or maybe you will have read about or even seen his new film ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’. In either case, if you have missed those, by all means CATCH UP with the quickness. But you will surely know Richard for his many varied performances throughout his illustrious career, which will DEFINITELY include the classic ‘Withnail And I’. That is a given. Add to that his star turns in films and shows like ‘LA Story’ (which forged a lifelong friendship with Steve Martin), ‘Girls’, ‘Game Of Thrones’ and a good four decades more, and there you have it. A carved in marble filmography of a true superstar right there. Covering everything including that Oscar nomination, the collaborative nature of film, how a testosterone-charged set is not always awesome, the grey area of memorabilia, the importance of casting directors, his booze allergy (believe it or not), his Swaziland origins, making theatres when he was kid and right up to the habit he shares with Pip of wearing two watches, it’s a packed episode.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with HIMESH PATEL, originally episode 342 from 2020-09-02.

Original writeup below:

A very nice chat which encompasses everything in Himesh’s inspirational rise to well earned fame and recognition, from those early days in acting school and his relationship with his parents throughout the process, to early gigs and his almost decade long run in Eastenders… Not only that - of course Yesterday comes up, as does Avenue 5, but there’s some ace Chris Nolan-based talk as Himesh stars in 2020’s only(?) blockbuster Tenet! Lovely stuff for your mid-week pick-me-up. Get to know Himesh!

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

This week Pip is joined by acclaimed rapper DENZEL CURRY!

A lovely episode to catch you up to speed on all things Denzel, as he and Pip get involved in an expansive chat which goes into not only his current album with Kenneth Blume (fka Kenny Beats), but his life surrounding the album rollout as well as all things back in the day, upbringing, bringing personal views on world politics into the mix, Florida, touring and a ton of other goodies. Ideal listening if you're into Denzel's past and present work or those who want to discover someone awesome.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with ALISTAIR GREEN, originally episode 482 from 2022-11-09.

Original writeup below:

This week Pip is joined by the hilarious and great comic ALISTAIR GREEN!

You could also add actor to that list of accolades as Alistair is busy in front of the camera too, as you will hear. Kicking off with heavy metal nights and the tour t-shirt, it's a fun slip n' slide down the road of tangents as Pip and Al get down to the business of social media and rolling news being too quick for a comic hot take, making videos, creative process, making situations into comedy, the Prince Charles Cinema screening of his videos as a film (and the wonder of the cinema itself), conspiranoia, Alan Partridge and trying to resist goofing while a take is in progress, Ted Lasso and tons more. Awesome stuff and definitely one for Al heads and those who are yet familiar - much fun! Enjoy.

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

This week Pip is joined by national treasure ROMESH RANGANATHAN!

Weirdly it's been a long time coming, this one. It feels like Romesh has never been far away but in reality it's been a bunch of years since he was last on - and that appearance was a stone cold classic (which has come up more than a few times before). Well, consider the loop closed as Romesh and Pip are united once more, this time in a 100% sober environment which allows for, let's say, a far more focused and lucid conversation. But still fun and awesome as all hell. What do we have here... Well to start with, older rappers and how to age gracefully in Hip Hop, the Romesh glowup, where to put the binge day, the podcast arc from early mic and a recorder days to the current multi-cam industry, Rob & Romesh classics, being niche but also massive, performing, old rap, and a ton more. You know what it is. A genuine pick-me-up for your mid-week DPP needs. Go enjoy!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with KSI, originally episode 395 from 2021-07-14.

Original writeup below:

Pip is joined by a Youtube veteran, and definitely someone with an admirable work ethic. Inspired by the likes of Childish Gambino and early adopters, KSI has carved out his own unique space in the world of social media and by the sounds of it, not even a global pandemic can stop this train running… Hear the story of his path from Watford, and how it led to where he currently finds himself including his boxing hustle, balance, fear of losing, working harder than anyone, how Youtube accepts no defeats and how to ascend by way of constant grind.
