    NORMAN COOK (aka FATBOY SLIM!) • Friday Rewind

    17/04/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, originally episode 268 from 2019-05-15.

    Original writeup below:
    “Fatboy Slim? Just a band…”
    It’s so great when these music based episodes come around, especially when Pip has had previous dealings with the guest in question which is exactly the case with Norman. In fact you will hear the evidence of which at the very end of the podcast so keep that in the treat bank for now eh! A truly great chat with the two down on the coast in Norman’s Brighton home, where they catch up on all sorts covering the past, the present and the future of his career. As you’ll hear, it’s really quite a monumental career at that - indeed, he goes decades deeper than a few hit singles. From an early start with his band The Housemartins, he’s had more pseudonyms than Kool Keith and played to more people than - well, you name em… The very definition of a superstar DJ, let’s say! From some podcast chatter up top, to some light Millwall vs Brighton banter, to his early days in Reigate being a punk up against a sea of teddyboys, the homogeneity of culture these days, the relationship dynamics of being in a band, how he’s always been into indie and dance music when the two were not as mixed up as the present day, that insane Brighton beach show, collaborating with previous DPP guest Ryca, being very much in the public eye via his marriage to Zoe Ball and SO much brilliant music talk throughout. Immense! Listen and love!

    ED GAMBLE • get your tickets now for his 2027 'Fresh Hell' tour (Off Menu / Traitors: Uncloaked / Taskmaster) #667

    15/04/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by the always welcome and always funny ED GAMBLE!

    Ed Gamble in the building! It's always a great day when Ed comes knocking. This is one of those episodes where topics could have been randomly picked out of a hat and it would have still been fantastic, but of course that's not how things went down (and topics remained organic to the conversation). Whether you know Ed from Off Menu or more recent ventures, or you've been a fan since the good old days, it's a lovely chat which factors in all sorts including early nu-metal days, the almight companion show 'The Traitors: Uncloaked' and the always cooking 'Taskmaster', the process of comedy and showmaking, being in support of comics, the consistently top 10 podcast 'Off Menu' with co-host genie James Acaster, the whole pivot to video movement within podcasting, and wrestling. And so much more! But that's for you to discover. ENJOY!

    JAMIE DEMETRIOU (Stath Lets Flats / Fleabag / Paddington 2) • Friday Rewind

    10/04/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Jamie Demetriou, originally episode 212 from 2018-06-20.

    Original writeup below:
    You’re going to be seeing a LOT more of Jamie over the next month or two as he’s about to unveil his new series ‘Stath Lets Flats’, which is part of Channel 4’s ‘Comedy Blaps’ vehicle - in the meantime, enjoy this proper get together with Pip and Jamie, as the two cover a ton of ground in the cosy but apparently humid Acast studios to discuss the use of the not often utilised Greek accent in comedy, working on a small scale as a jumping board for larger scale work, the fact that he’s “Always done idiots”, working with and promoting his comedian sister, the heightened but committed character, reactions to comedy within the actual scenes, improv and the importance of casting, the insanity and craziness of the Edinburgh Fringe, the idea of ‘anti-comedy’, and it’s important to point out that while this episode features reference to David Earl throughout, the podcast is not sponsored nor overseen by him. But check him out whenever you can, of course. He’s awesome. So’s Jamie. Enjoy!

    DAVID DASTMALCHIAN • the LA vampire with an attitude of gratitude (Late Night With The Devil / One Piece / Oppenheimer) #666

    08/04/2026 | 54 mins.
    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by the excellent and truly unique actor DAVID DASTMALCHIAN!

    The perfect guest for this episode 🤘 as the Iron Maiden classic spins in the background... David is a fantastic presence who has awesome stories but it's not just that, it's the whole vibe. Some might say "essence", if they're feeling snooty. But whatever the weather - always a good hang. There is a HUGE amount of covered ground here as you'd hope, including a hot off the press movie recommendation, some Cyndi Lauper business up top, music recommendations, loving LA as a vampire (complete with black umbrella), early Chicago days artistry, craft, process, gratitude and reckoning with past addictions having been in recovery for almost 2 decades. And, as Pip hints, tales for days. Really great stuff, proper Distraction Pieces goodness or - if you will - Dastmalchian Pieces, as it shall be known for this episode. Thank you.

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Georgina Campbell, originally episode 90 from 2016-03-23.

    Original writeup below:
    (welcome) WELCOME w-e-l-c-o-m-e (trying to match Pip's impulse to change that cadence at the start) to your 90th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, featuring the wonderful and crazy skilled Georgina Campbell! A bright and breezy chat to match the time of year, with a super nice back and forth between Georgina and Pip covering all the good stuff, from her being talent-scouted in the street, to her earlier roles and influences, her awards win for 'Murdered By My Boyfriend', and the back catalogue of goodness as well as the - forward? - catalogue of greatness down the road... Such a nice, uplifting and inspiring chat from one of the UK's finest. Georgina Campbell is your new best friend!
