Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fabulous music maker LA ROUX!

La Roux joins Pip this week for a truly engaging conversation which goes into so much depth, and will delight those who consider themselves the day ones as well as the new members of the club. La Roux aka Elly Jackson has put out some absolute bangers since the late 2000's which were also remixed by some heavyweights in the dubstep and electronic scene, but as it turns out this may well have been a gift and a curse... What followed was high (and warped) expectations, genre mis-representation, extreme stress and burnout culminating in a breakdown, not to mention losing the tool which she had been sharpening throughout her career - her voice. It's a really honest chat and definitely one that people should listen to, as the world of music stardom is absolutely not one for everyone, and can affect people in a myriad of ways (obviously not always positively). There's also the touring element which can turn the heat up even further. Oh and don't mention EDM unless you're referring to... extremely... decent... music...?? And let's not get started on the pillowy bottom-end conundrum. You'll get it. Enjoy!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with CHARLIE COOPER, originally episode 473 from 2022-09-14.

Original writeup:
A long awaited one right here, as long term listeners will already be aware of how big a fan Pip is of This Country... Charlie was one of those responsible for the whole thing (along with his sister Daisy May), but obviously NOT ONLY that... As you'll hear, there's a ton going on with Charlie, including a starring role in See How They Run alongside some insanely great acting talent (none of which is lost on him), and together he and Pip cover all things fantasy football-style casting, the Tom George comfort animal, the process of ideas and realising them, refining scripts on the go, working with Daisy and Tom, his roles in Stath Lets Flats and Avenue 5 (in front of the camera or in the writers room), and everything else. A deep one which covers the fun of it all alongside the hard work involved. Enjoy!

This week Pip is joined by the star of stage and screen NATALIE IMBRUGLIA!

For those of a certain age who grew up in a certain era, Natalie will be like a familiar friend or relative. Neighbours was one of the biggest Australian exports around the early 90's and essential after-school viewing on one of the 4 or 5 channels the UK had on terrestrial TV. Natalie played Beth Brennan, but later made a transition to music superstar with the undeniable hit song 'Torn' - a single that has survived very well through the ages. It's a pleasure to have her here in studio with Pip catching up on all things including all of the above, emerging as an incidental mental health advocate, recording processes, and all sorts of awesome stuff that maybe you're not expecting. It's a really great one, this - oh and also, you'll get to hear Natalie's reaction to Pip's bold, bold claim he played guitar on 'Torn'. No spoilers here.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with AUNTY DONNA, originally episode 357 from 2020-12-09.

Original writeup:
Have you heard of Aunty Donna yet? Chances are you are a diehard dyed in the wool Auntyhead, but perhaps you may have only just seen that Netflix square scrolling sideways in your field of vision as recent as today - or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard the word Aunty and the name Donna together full stop. Well prepare to either get to know the gang much better, or make some new best friends, as Pip catches up with three of the crew! You’ll hear a ton from their early days right up to now, and this will ensure that you are well versed in all things Donna - covering Run The Jewels with times tables, going from podcast to stage to screen, Dominos Pizza (and a gang of fast food snack trivia), tall poppy syndrome, fanbases, physical humour, finding the truth, being present, “whatever’s funniest” and the relentless search for perfection in TV production, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes bits and pieces besides. Gems from every angle. ENJOY!

This week Pip is joined by the wonderful actor, producer and all round legend HANNAH WALTERS!

Hannah's appearance is a long time coming, some might even venture to say overdue, but this is someone who is of course always welcome. A really fun and also very focused chat which hits on so many of the points you would hope for and very likely so much more, including the powerful work put out by her company Matriarch Productions (co-founded with husband Stephen Graham), how to navigate the desire to act alongside parenting and being married to a full time actor, the very delicate dance of accents, and her pivotal role in the (at time of publishing) upcoming 'Amazing Grace'. So much goodness in here and just a solid classic DPP episode. Enjoy!
