Original writeup below:
This is the mirror side of a two podcast deal the two of them struck up, where Pip appeared on her ‘Happy Place’ podcast, so as you’ll witness, the driver is often interchangeable, but it’s all perfect ...

This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN!
A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that w...

This week Pip is joined by the powerful duo and awesome individuals ELLIOT STEEL & JAMALI MADDIX!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip takes us on a personal guided tour of not only the frosty badlands of the outside world, but the miracle wonderland that was the year in film of 2025!
Pip saw like 500 movies last year, which is a commendable feat by anyone's standard, so to corale them all into a manageable amount is even more of a hardcore labour of love. But one thing...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by John & Joel of the wonderful Dream Factory podcast to talk TV of the year for 2025!
Not a "top 10" as such, this is more of a run-down of a lot of the incredible TV that we have been blessed with this year, in what has turned out to be a very bumper crop indeed. It's a great selection as there are also a bunch of series ...
