    RAHUL KOHLI (Citadel / We Were Liars) • Friday Rewind

    12/06/2026 | 1h 21 mins.
    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Rahul Kholi, originally episode 355 from 2020-11-25.

    Original writeup below:
    An ALMOST in person DPP right here - well, Pip and the guest being in the same city, in a country far far away from their respective homesteads anyway - please enjoy a brilliantly upfront and honest chat with actor RAHUL KOHLI!
    I say upfront and honest - basically it’s one where sentiments aren’t hinted at, and feelings and thoughts are addressed in a mature and adult manner. He and Pip are currently in Vancouver, Canada, in the midst of filming in some very airtight pandemic conditions. You can hear all about that, which of course branches out into how life is in Canada, viewing the pandemic from a different country, the attitudes in the US, race and the media, privilege, social media tone deafness, becoming a Twitter celeb (not as glamorous as it sounds), what re-Trump-ing says about you, Mike Bithell and the amazing North Star Rising project he and Pip guested on, auditions, gaming voiceovers, acting, and the many intricate nuances of invoking Bollywood. It’s a packed one and it’s great. Get yerself in a listening situation.

    MARK JENKIN • a Cornish Affirmative from an audience of one (Bait / Enys Men / Rose Of Nevada) #675

    10/06/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by Cornwall's finest and UK film making royalty MARK JENKIN!

    A total gem of an episode here, whether you are a heavyweight devotee of Mark's film output or if this is the first time you're hearing about him. Mark's got many years in the game, and in an era where almost every single thing feels digital, his approach to film making is almost as aesthetically radical as it comes - using all analogue gear, and a truly unique attitude to post-sync sound too. This chat gets into many eras and processes, including the origins of Bait (2019) which stem back to decades ago, how to tour a film, making films for an audience of self, representing the working class in an honourable way, Cornwall stereotypes, falling in love with the film making process again via Super8 cameras, the music making process and how said sync work happens. Genuine good stuff for the films heads (and, as said, those not familiar - everyone will get something from this). Oh and just TRY not to incorporate the Cornish Affirmative into you daily parlance. You can't eat the view!

    JO WHILEY (music radio royalty) • Friday Rewind

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Jo Whiley, originally episode 446 from 2022-04-06.

    Original writeup below:
    You can file this one under "Always on the cards / finally happened", if you're keeping scores. Jo's earned her place in the broadcasting hall of fame without a doubt, having been a rock solid and awesome part of radio history for a minute as well as holding it down on many a festival presenting lineup too. Here's a perfect chance to hear Jo on the other side of the mic as she and Pip catch up over the last couple of decades or more, from humble origins to the present day. Everything including Brighton beginnings and possible alternative career directions, her sisters journey through the pandemic which made for some heavy experiences on all sides (as well as dealings with the government), pivoting and moving from station to station, living in music, festivals, and the luxuries of gardening and nature. An uplifting one for sure, enjoy!

    IAIN LEE • a life working in and coping with the media (Impostor Syndrome / The Living Room Tour / 11 O' Clock Show) #674

    03/06/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This week Pip is joined by host, presenter and returning guest IAIN LEE!

    Iain is a welcome, familiar face to a lot of us - someone who's been involved with some really great things, and it's a great chance to catch up and check in on where life's been leading him for the past handful of years (or more fairly, where's he's been directing his life. Truly it hasn't been an easy journey, with various dependancies and relapses on the table, but the 2026 Iain is congniscant of how these situations came into play and is able to trace the path. But there have been some awesome stops on the journey too, in finding love via a long term working relationship, and navigating an incredibly heavy and tense live radio situation resulting in a life-saving triangulation of listeners. Included in the chat of course are re-evaluations of the past and past works, I'm A Celeb, humiliation vs humility, figuring out a live show in your living room, and confronting the end of level conscience boss that is the fact that one might be as good as one hoped to be. So a lot going on, clearly...! Get listening.

    DJ SHADOW (Endtroducing / Quannum Projects) • Friday Rewind

    29/05/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with DJ Shadow, originally episode 298 from 2019-11-13.

    Original episode intro:
    "Guess who’s coming… IT’S… Guess who’s coming… IT’S j-j-j-just your favourite DJ saviour / using and confusing beats that you never heard / since / 1990… Ladies and gentlemen, he’ll put a smile on your face like Ultra Brite - it’s DJ SHADOW!"
    (* now that is a solid intro).

    Original writeup below:
    “…Not every musical moment affects people the same way…”
    A great rare treat for Shadow heads and crate digging nerds, and those who appreciate a good old fashioned music chat right here, but not only that - of course Pip and Shadow get to some really interesting ground when not dealing with the musical matters at hand, including his growing up in a remote town with limited access to hip hop which leads nicely onto how he eventually did find his way in, which then leads us into the whole Mo Wax side of things where he met and worked with James Lavelle extensively for a contained period (the foundation for which being laid by discovering NME, Melody Maker and also by the very intro of Nation Of Millions by Public Enemy - “LONDON, ENGLAND…!!!”), the Entroducing / Soldesides / Unkle / Brainfreeze eras, dealing with fan expectations and of course being taken out of context in hilarious style, nutritional value of rap from then and now, the current album ‘Our Pathetic Age’ and a breakdown of lead track ‘Rosie’, conjuring live sets and so much more which is all there for you to discover! Such a good one. You’ll love it.
