Original writeup below:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––

A long, long overdue guest on the podcast, as Pip has been pals with Paloma for a good decade or so (their friendship kicked off on the video for ‘The Beat That My Heart Skipped’), but it isn’t just mates reminiscing and going over the good old times… It’s a fascinating and honest chat about her humble beginnings and stage antics back in the day, being a number one album selling artist and how un-phased she is by the stardom of it all (which leads into some very open and awesome tangents on fame in general and the weirdness of it all and how it’s not for everyone), a good amount of political chat and how politics needs to evolve, and of course Paloma’s newborn baby child! As stated, it’s open and honest, and generally hugely inspiring and positive - you’ll feel Paloma’s sunny rays all over you long after the podcast is over…

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

This week Pip is joined by absolute Irish acting royalty SIMONE KIRBY!

A rare treat here with the wonderful Simone catching up and checking in with Pip, in a celebration of so much of what makes the performances we see what they are. Simone's been putting in work on the stage and screen for a minute, and you will have surely witnessed her greatness in such projects as the ones in the episode title (and a cursory glance on IMDB), but it's always a valuable gift to hear about the life behind the lines. From growing up in County Clare and her origin story, to making it through the ranks of the acting path, as well as what a future in theatre could have looked like, moving to London, working with her husband and child, and an audition concluding with a simple note to tone down the Bond. How about that. Enjoy Simone, and catch up with the shows and projects she's involved in.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Charlie Brooker, originally episode 275 from 2019-06-26.

Original writeup below:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––

…but don’t by any means think that Black Mirror is a one man show, as Charlie himself will ensure you know how important Annabel Jones is in the whole creative process! He and Pip get all the way into the whole Black Mirror phenomenon, how it works and what it is to be a showrunner, the rise of Black Mirror in the US, how Charlie is the Drake of TV according to Pip (you’ll enjoy this theory), how the auteur theory is bullshit, presenting the show to Netflix, having an exit strategy in a series and how there are less exits in a film as opposed to an episode, Bandersnatch and the three episode season, his older work including Dead Set, Nathan Barley and the various ‘-Wipes, his Screen Burn column and how haters could improve their hater game by reading some of his columns for how to REALLY dis someone…

* Production note: Pip had a backup recorder running, and you’ll hear some of this at the start for a minute or so, but after that the audio is straight from the mics. Just in case you wondered why the quality shifts a touch!
