• Mary J. Blige (What's The 411? / The Umbrella Academy / Queen of Hip Hop Soul) • 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 Mary J. Blige, originally episode 252 from 2019-02-13.Original writeup below:–––––––––––––––––––––––––“…When you give your all, you win…”Absolute solid gold crown wearing greatness for you here, as Pip sits down with the phenomenal Ms. Blige for a thoroughly entertaining and uplifting chat. She’s been making the rounds in promotion of her new starring role as ‘Cha-Cha’ in the amazing ‘The Umbrella Academy’, an adaptation of an equally amazing graphic novel, and she spent some time breaking down the whole experience with Pip in this rare interview. They get to cover a HUGE amount of goodies, ranging from her love of the script and its connections to real life, being educated in how to correctly beat up a person and do a ton of crazy stunts (until things got a touch too insane), the madness of the costumes, her love of learning and growth through roles, how she killed it in a Christmas play as a kid, growing up in the projects and how that didn’t allow much room for dreaming, her non-braggy style and, of course, her illustrious and celebrated music career (including her friendship and career beginnings with a young Notorious BIG!). From music to acting but without ever losing sight or sound of her backgrounds, it’s a heartwarming one here folks as you might expect from a true veteran of the entertainment industry. You’ll love it.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEXDISCOGRAPHYIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

• Grace Neutral: transcending the tattoo universe with inclusivity and safety (Femme Fatale Tattoo) #616

  Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by GRACE NEUTRAL, founder of FEMME FATALE TATTOO!Of course, as with all intros, it is impossible to sum up Grace by a role or a title. Grace is also a force of energy and natural spring of positivity in the wide world of the tattoo, as you will hear in this in person chat with Pip. Positivity and new ways of thinking aren't always a given though, sometimes these are things that need to happen through experience and ultimately wisdom, all of which Grace has in abundance. Among other subjects including the one that you would indeed expect, Grace and Pip catch up on the joy of dogs and animals, how Grace founded Femme Fatale, the unfortunate side of tattoo work and the humans who contribute to it, humble origins, how misogyny can generate among women in toxic male environments, being a boss and how to do that, surviving abusive relationships in enabling towns, and fostering safe inclusive spaces for those who would benefit. It's fun, it's deep, it's light, and it's heavy. It has it all.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMFFTV INSTAGRAMGRACE YOUTUBESTORIES & INKSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

• Alan Moore (Swamp Thing / V For Vendetta / Watchmen) • 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 Alan Moore, originally episode 3 from 2014-10-29.A huge episode in the Distraction Pieces canon, as Pip caught up with Alan - at time of publishing - over a decade ago in Alan's house. It was the early days of the podcast and of course the style and flow of the show was developing, but this was a fabulous sign of things to come and that even when the show was a toddler, it was looking at a mountain of greatness. AND HERE WE ARE! Alan is an immense figure in the world of comic books and writing, and whether or not this is a world in which you dabble, it's a really great one to pick up on if you missed it back then (and if so you are indeed forgiven).

• Climate activist ROSIE HAMPTON (Climate Solutions For Realists miniseries Part 4) #615

  Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is part 4 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'.Our fourth guest is climate activist ROSIE HAMPTON.Hopefully by now, if you've caught all four of the episodes in this miniseries (which will have slotted in seamlessly into your regularly scheduled listening), you'll have heard about how climate action - while not the most uplifting subject - can be a very positive and accessible universe to engage with. At times of course the whole subject can seem intimidating as, for sure, individually we can't solve this one. BUT - when we work together and realise the powers we do have, and work with what we can in the realms of our imediate surroundings first, there is a huge amount to be positive and hopeful for. This episode with Rosie will surely add to that feeling, and among so much more you'll hear how she found herself in this area and how career paths merged and blended, how to work with fossil fuel companies in a way which can make things better for the world in general as well as the employees, the idea of death by a million paper cuts when it comes to greedy and careless corporations, being strategic with movements and working with available skills and potential, the many shades of community action, and how ultimately we all get better through linking in our communities. As always, get a notebook or open the notes app, you'll do well to scribble some bits down!

• John Cooper Clarke (The Bard Of Salford / The Luckiest Guy Alive / Chickentown) • 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 John Cooper Clarke, originally episode 240 from 2018-11-21.Original writeup below!–––––––––––––––––––––––––“If I was a band I would have split up years ago…”Hopefully you are aware of the fellow and his work, but if that’s not the case, well you have a glorious road ahead of you… Pip sits down with the legendary punk poet to comb through all the good stuff - being the force of nature he is, most of the heavy lifting is done by John himself but as you’ll hear, this is not a problem in the slightest. Just tune in and take a ride with the story telling genius and indulge in those sweet Northern tones. From history to now, it all gets covered - his inspirational teacher who encouraged him in all kinds of ways, cultivating his own style from the cast in his life and picking up little elements from everyone he appreciated, the cerebral of poetry vs the immediate of rock and roll, his love and adoption of American style and trends, aiming to be an ‘artist as professional citizen’, having the door to success opened to him by none other than Bernard Manning of all people, NO FLARES, gigging with The Fall, Chickentown, Arctic Monkeys, Michael Madson, and as you can imagine - AN IMMENSE AMOUNT MORE! So, so great.
