  1. Just Stop Oil's JAMES SKEET (Climate Solutions For Realists miniseries Part 1) #612

    Just Stop Oil's JAMES SKEET (Climate Solutions For Realists miniseries Part 1) #612

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is part 1 of an April-long miniseries curated by Pip entitled 'Climate Solutions For Realists'. Our first guest is JAMES SKEET of JUST STOP OIL. You likely had an instant reaction when you saw 'Just Stop Oil'. You may have also felt something when you saw the name of the miniseries centred around climate. But is it something you've heard about first hand? And - like many of us - has it just been too much to take on board? What's important to know is that nothing you'll hear this month in this selection of episodes will be a constant tell-off-athon or be led by people shaking their heads at you in judgement. For one thing that would suck and be no fun whatsoever for anyone, but for another that simply achieves nothing either. In this episode, you'll hear from James who is fighting a fight, believe it or not, for the good of all of us and the world. There will be points including how oil companies infiltrate their way into laws which affect us all, how social change requires discomfort, and the situation we're currently in. Of course it's an immensely difficult and bundled up layer-heavy conversation with a huge amount of feelings, thoughts, opinions and perspectives. But without listening to James, you're missing out on a really crucial voice in all of this. So please, wherever you stand on the issue (no judgement, as said), take this episode on board. It's fascinating and you're also hearing him in a context not often offered either - this isn't James in defence mode. This is information delivery combined with conversation. Listen, share if you feel it, and let's see what we can do with all this.

  3. Kate Nash & Maedb Joy: sex work is work, and not exclusive to artistry #609

    Kate Nash & Maedb Joy: sex work is work, and not exclusive to artistry #609

    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. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature ONLINE (Kate links are all here) INSTAGRAM TAKE PART IN THE SURVEY!!!
