The Distraction Pieces Podcast is a weekly conversational podcast created and hosted by English spoken word poet and hip-hop artist Scroobius Pip. The podcast began on 13 October 2014 and has been released weekly ever since. [1]
The podcasts are usually around one hour in duration and are released every Wednesday. Pip switched to this format from his radio show on Xfm after appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience and hearing other American long-form interview podcasters such as Marc Maron. [2] Speaking with The Observer 's Killian Fox, Pip described the podcast as "interesting conversations with interesting people", [3] adding "obviously it's important to have some big names in there, such as Simon Pegg, Alan Moore and Billy Bragg, but we've also had people such as Dr Suzi Gage, who studies recreational drugs and their potential benefits and negatives, and the mortician Carla Valentine talking about the taboo of death. It can get incredibly heavy – we've had debates about race and mental health – but there's also a lot of silly nonsense". [4] [5] Pip bookends each episode with monologues in which he mentions sponsors for the show, updates the listener on his work, and reflects on the conversations in the podcasts.
The Distraction Pieces Podcast is the flagship podcast of the eponymous network organised by Pip. Other shows on the network include Brett Goldstein's Films to Be Buried With, [8] Suzi Gage's Say Why to Drugs, [9] Jason Reed's Stop and Search, in association with LEAP UK, [10] and Jim Smallman's Tuesday Night Jaw.

Dexter Fletcher is an English film director and actor. He has appeared in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, as well as in television shows such as the comedy drama Hotel Babylon and the HBO series Band of Brothers and, earlier in his career, starred as Spike Thomson in the comedy drama Press Gang. His earliest acting role was playing Baby Face in the 1976 film Bugsy Malone.
dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip were a hip-hop duo, combining electronic beats with sung, spoken, and rapped lyrics. The pair are Daniel Stephens, and David Peter Meads (b.1981). The name "Scroobius Pip" is an intentional misspelling of the Edward Lear poem, The Scroobious Pip.
David Peter Meads, known professionally as Scroobius Pip, is an English actor and podcaster as well as a former spoken word poet and hip hop recording artist from Stanford-le-Hope, Essex.
