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

This week Pip is joined by RHYS & EGGSY of GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN!

Pip is joined by 2 remaining members of the Newport rap crew whose classic jam "Guns Don't Kill People (Rappers Do)" will surely be in your mind already... If you're unfamiliar, that would be a really good starting place to capture the vibe of these fun loving rap folks. For those of us who were around and present at the time the crew blew up, you'll have a mix of fond and irritating memories (through pure catchiness of said single), but it's all done with tongue in cheek and a good spirit of playfulness. Actually the beat on 'Guns...' is pretty tight tho... So enjoy this three-way chat covering many elements including working in retail, the road to music and fame, how's life in Newport, understanding accents, global success and even a bonus on-air scam call up top! The timing couldn't be more perfect. Have fun with, it's a nice revisit to a time a couple of decades ago, a time which is now on a nostalgia shelf but always worth looking back on.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Will Ospreay, originally episode 98 from 2016-05-17.

Original writeup below:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––

You are cordially welcomed, and tripley so, as we tiptoe ever closer to the Distraction Pieces milestone, the centenary, the HUNDREDTH EPISODE... But enough about that - let's concentrate on episode 98 and be present in the moment shall we... It's Essex's wrestling superstar Mr Will Ospreay! Ever since Pip had a chance meeting outside a Progress Wrestling event at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and then witnessed Will rip it up, it's been a matter of time until the two got together in the podcast ring and got their verbal grapple on and talk pure wrestling goodness, which will be a joy to wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike... A great chat with a very grounded and humble professional, who has made it up the ladder and continues to ascend, all the while keeping himself down to earth while working a DIY job. Career, personal life, goals, lessons learned, Progress, New Japan, and pure positive energy right here - get in!!!

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

This week Pip catches you up on what's been developing in his section of the film making world.

Saying 'Pip catches you up" is a very broad sweep of an expression actually. If you follow Pip on socials and have been charting the moves in his making of 'Area Of Oustanding Natural Beauty' (the short-turned-long film backed by many on Kickstarter), you'll have seen him opening up in raw, emotional honesty about the decision to shelf the project. Shelf does not mean disappear. But it's a really sad position to be in, as the leader and instigator of the project. The feeling of responsibility, the feeling of letting multiple people down, not to mention the reality of a project not being realised to full potential after so much work being put into it. As well as the co-existing reality of the state of affairs of working class art being almost impossible to make right now.

Let's let Pip take the stage on this one though, and you'll also get a moment to hear the Instagram video which caught Pip at the most publically vulnerable stage of what you could call the creative grieving process. We are so used to hearing about the wins. The successes. The 'killing it' mindset. We don't often hear about the projects and ideas which didn't make it. Maybe we can find a way to celebrate them all as one... Join Pip to hear about the journey.
