Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
An amazing opportunity to get inside the mind of writer, director and producer SHAWN LEVY!
You may be familiar with Shawn from such projects as the sleeper hit ‘Real Steel’, the ‘Night At The Museum’ series and ‘Stranger Things’ to name a mere sprinkling in the vast ocean of goodies he’s been involved in - a brief glimpse at his IMDB will open the door on these so definitely have a peep - but this is a great full length chat with Pip, as the two go in on things in some nice detail. What’s really cool is how Shawn becomes a fast convert to the DPP faith around 20 minutes in when it’s clear that, dear listeners, our own Pip knows exactly what he’s doing behind the steering wheel. Hear about the amazing ‘Free Guy’, casting, creation, self taping and in person auditions, letting ideas flow in the edit stage, and so much more including some choice horse analogies. Please enjoy!

Tim Renkow • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #401
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
A fabulous episode as Pip is joined by the very funny and very lovely comic and actor TIM RENKOW!
A class act from beginning to end, as Tim catches us up on all things actorial, comedic and other such goodness including his show Jerk, being an American in the UK (by way of Mexico, North Carolina and Memphis), hippy parents, rough days on set, accessibility in comedy clubs, cold curry, exhaustion, and awesome rap including MF Doom and our very own Pip! Tim’s also very honest about his own work ethic, which is almost a ‘make hay while the sun shines’ attitude, combined with a hard work drive that’s more about keeping it GOOD rather than predictable. Proper inspiring, and you shall for sure be checking out his work in the acting and standup worlds after this if you haven’t already.

Steve Stamp • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #403
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by People Just Do Nothing star STEVE STAMP!
Of course the term ‘star’ doesn’t cover all the bases of what Steve does over there at the Kurupt FM towers... From writing to directing to all kinds of other bits and bobs, he is in a perfect position to chat with Pip about the makings of the People Just Do Nothing: Big In Japan film, the timing of it in a mid-post-pandemic world, the writing process, characters, development and all that comes with it. Of course the two branch out into other topics but that’s a fine roundup of what you can expect. Have fun, and make sure you catch the film too!
