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

This week Pip is joined by Scotland's comic champ CHRISTOPHER MACARTHUR-BOYD!

You will surely know Christopher from the Here Comes The Guillotine podcast with comedy pals Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe (and if not, you won't go wrong by jumping in), but if CMB isn't someone you're directly familiar with, I guess the question would be... When have Scroobius Pip and the Distraction Pieces Podcast steered you wrong? Thank you. This is a really great and uplifting chat with someone who's been working his way up through the comedy game, via all kinds of paths, while receiving and heeding advice from folks he truly respects. Such humility has only done him well in the quest, and you'll hear about it all including the Fringe route, process, podcasting, the origin story, the draw of London, and altogether so much more. You'll love it. Enjoy!

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

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Howard Marks, originally episode 33 from 2015-04-29.

An amazing episode which was recorded approximately a year before Howard died, which details so much of his life, legacy, his legal scrapes and all sorts along the way. Definitely one to catch up on if you haven't heard it before - Howard was a legend of a human and wherever you stand on the drug smuggling spectrum, the chances are you'll get a lot of goodness and light from this episode. One for the books!

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

An episode celebrating the past year of television, from streamers to terrestrials - it's TV Of The Year 2024 with Joe & Joel!

(Producer Buddy here - I've once again recklessly recycled a previous writeup for this one because my original is still entirely apt - dates have changed for obvious reasons but otherwise - enjoy the timewarp!)

Another delightful end of year TV roundup from three people who truly know and care about their televisual diet. These are names you can trust, folks. You might know John and Joel from their own film podcast called Dream Factory (the world's greatest user-generated movie creation podcast), which Pip is a true fan of and contributor to, but if not, here is your chance to get to know them and become fast friends! This podcast goes appropriately deep into the television shows of the year in a hugely positive way, but of course you'll hear about some of the trials and tribulations of being such big devourers of content - the endless options of platforms, the accessibility of them all, and everything else... But really it's a perfect way to get up to speed on the things you might have missed, and also hear people chat about the shows that we all loved throughout the year. Who knows what 2025 has in store for us... But really - who cares? This is 2024 right here! ENJOY!
