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

This week Pip is joined by JOE TALBOT of IDLES for an encore episode!

An in person episode for this follow up appearance, as the first time round was a Zoom-er in the heat of the lockdown times. So much has changed, for the band, for Joe himself, and the world on the whole. The last 5 years or so has been a cyclone of all sorts, and living through it while keeping a cool and level head is an insurmountable goal. Thankfully creation and art and music are not in short supply, no matter what some of the highers might want us to think, and Joe is proof of that. A wide ranging chat but with an anchor of sorts, which addresses many heavy hitting subjects including class, poverty, politics, socials, reading, mental health, touring, being in a band in general and of course, tinned fish. The amount of times I find myself typing that, good god. Enjoy, it's a goody...

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Robert Sheehan, originally episode 128 from 2016-12-107.

Original writeup below!

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

As ever it's a heavyweight slammer of an episode as this week's guest of honour is television and big screen's Robert Sheehan! A delightful peek behind the curtain of the wild hectic acting game with Ireland's very own Robert, who drops gold at every step of this awesome chat with Pip. Everything from battling his caffeine demons, growing up in the easy to say and hard to spell Portlaoise, his acting career ladder and what each step entailed, his starring role on the amazing 'Misfits', his insane and dream (nightmare?)-like experiences on the set of his new film 'Jet Trash' (out on Friday 9th December!), and all kinds of nail-biting gossip from all over the set of his frenetic journey! Grand stuff - super energetic and inspiring goodies right here from a glowing gem of an actor.

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

This week Pip is joined by two very special guests - musician and actor KATE NASH and multi-discipline performer and activist MAEDB JOY!

An absolutely crucial episode at any given moment, but especially poignant now with things as they are. This description will of course not do justice to the entire hour-plus conversation but let's just say, whatever your reaction might be to the term 'sex work', you'll find a huge amount to love and learn from this one. You'll likely have seen the commotion surrounding Kate's 'Butts For Tour Buses' campiagn, which aimed to shine a light on the broken music industry while generating some income to sustain her own music career - Kate goes into all of that and so much more, and is joined by Maedb who is a huge influence and massively respected creative presence on the scene. A delightful and empassioned conversation, held in perfect balance, and one which will do a lot to deliver information, clarity, perspective and context at a time when such things are tough to come by. Enjoy, investigate, and take it all in.
