Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Hip Hop legend GRANDMASTER FLASH!Y'say... Y'say... Y'say / y'say / y'say (etc) and if you're not carrying that scratch sentence on in your head you have some SERIOUS homework to do. We flashback to the 20-teens to the era of the Beatdown radio show, Pip's XFM show which centred around (but not exclusively) rap and Hip Hop music. Pip had some stone cold legends guesting on there, as you will have heard on some previous flashback episodes, but THIS flashback is the Grandmaster Flashback of all of em. Flash has retained the pure enthusiasm and excitement you would hope for in a DJ and crate digging legend, and enthusiasm which radiates easily and - speaking as a DJ myself (this is producer Buddy typing) - makes me want to just grab an armful of records and hop on the turntables. It's just that pure fun mixed with discovery but entirely fueled by funk and straight up musical greatness. Although as you'll hear, Flash does speak like a true old skool DJ skipping through the 'wack parts' and heading straight to the break. You have to imagine how insanely brilliant that feeling must have been back then, when people just didn't know what these breaks and now classics were, and he even goes into the old trick of hot-watering the labels off and replacing em with dud labels to throw other DJs off the scent. It's hard to retain that mystery these days but back then it was just so different. Anyway - a beautiful snapshot of a truly crucial time in Hip Hop, a part of the genesis of what we know it as now. Whether you like it or acknowledge it or not, this is where it started.

En el vídeo de hoy el Profesor Ángel Rosa analiza las reacciones marcha pro independencia de Puerto Rico. En el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo varios grupos independentistas convocaron manifestaciones en Puerto Rico, Nueva York, Chicago, Nueva Jersey, Florida y Ohio para reclamar la separación de los Estados Unidos. Curiosamente, mientras el PNP ha guardado silencio, el PPD le salió al paso al evento, utilizándolo para cuestionar el carácter del líder del PIP, Juan Dalmau. ¿Por qué calla el PNP? ¿Qué mueve a los populares a atacar la imagen de Dalmau? ¿Será este el fin del ángel político Dalmau? ¡No te lo pierdas! Con su acostumbrada agudeza analítica el Profesor te hace las conexiones que debes conocer para entender esta controversia.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by long term groupmate and music making legend DAN LE SAC!Together of course, they form Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip though - a duo name of which you will be abundantly familiar. To celebrate the release of their 'Live In Places' live recordings compendium and physical release, Dan and Pip met up in physical form to talk about all things past, present and future in equal balance. It's not a stream of "Do you remember that time..." either, it goes way beyond that but expect some expert tangent taking though! So much life has happened since they got together to make their first releases, and since locking in on their individual paths, there have been huge departures from as well as continuations into what came before. It's lovely that all is amicable and supportive and while, as said in the episode title to quote Uncle LL Cool J, it is not a comeback (they been here for years), it is a reunion of sorts and a truly delightful one at that. Enjoy these two in conversation and go cop that live album too, what are you doing?!

Pip continues to attempt to lead this ragtag confederacy in the absence of Hecktor. I wouldn't necessarily say that he's doing a bad job. As that would imply that he's at least doing the job at all. Perhaps now that he's once again in charge of a group of men, it's bringing back old memories and that's making him make mistakes.If you're still wanting to pledge for the Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by hilarious comic and now author RHYS JAMES!An immediately bubbly and scattered catchup with Pip and Rhys, as they transmit in podcast-time from Rhys's equivalent of what Adam Buxton refers to as his 'nutty room'. On top of all things book related, centring around his very new 'You'll Like It When You Get There', he and Pip check in on many and much including house layouts and room purposes (where IS the best spot for a shower?), being a hygeine guy, "come and say hello", comedy specials and the wide world within, the joy of a canceled plan, the tightrope of too much or too little in the audiobook space, speed of standup performance relative to himself, and as said, a good amount of book chat. It's of course fascinating to hear about the process and how everything forms and shapes, so even if you're unfamiliar with Rhys you'll likely get a huge amount from the "tech talk" and behind the scenes biz.

Today, we catch up with Kaitlyn Dever, originally episode 475 from 2022-09-21.Original writeup below:If you are unaware of Kaitlyn in your adventures through the wide world of broadcast media, prepare to make fast friends with a true great, and an absolute gem of a person at that. Kaitlyn's been putting down serious moves since childhood, including a Shakespeare stint at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for those pondering), and her filmography is stellar - ranging from Justified, to Dopesick, to Unbelievable, and more recently Ticket To Paradise (starring alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney, where the cinema screen actually cracks midway through from so much gorgeous). This is a lovely chat, properly engaging and it's such a treat to hear Kaitlyn's story. OH and as Pip hints at in the intro, prepare for a Kaitlyn fact that will blow yer mind. She casually peppers it in there but thankfully Pip mashes on the brakes and reverses and double takes seamlessly. Enjoy!

This week we talk about tech bubbles, building moats, and infrastructure investment.We also discuss capital expenditure, data centers, and employee compensation.Recommended Book: The Art of Gathering by Priya ParkerTranscriptMany technology booms have early periods in which innovators have a first-mover advantage, and a lot of what happens in their industry is informed by the decisions those innovators make.After that—depending on the technology, but this is common enough to be considered a trend—after that there tends to be a period of build-out and consolidation amongst the people and business entities that survived that initial, innovation-focused throw-down.In the context of personal computers, this moment saw computer-makers like Microsoft and Apple scramble to pivot from figuring out what an operating system should look like and whether or not to use mice to navigate user interfaces, to a period in which they were rushing to scale-up the manufacture of now-essential, but previously comparably rare components: suitable screens for their monitors, chips that could power their increasingly graphical machines, and the magnetic materials necessary to produce floppy disks and spindle-based hard drives.There's an initial period in which new ideas and approaches provide these entities with a moat that protects them against competition, in other words, but then the game they're playing changes, the rules are more fully understood and to some degree locked into place and agreed upon, and instead of competing for the biggest, most brazen new ideas, they lock onto one set of ideas that seemed to be the best of what's available at that moment and build on those, iterating them at a regular cadence, but focusing especially on scaling them.So at this second stage, they're investing in the ability to out-produce their competition in some way, so they can eventually bypass that competition and (they hope) safely increase their prices and make a profit, as opposed to just larger and larger revenues with equal or greater expenses, continuing to be reliant on investor injections of capital, rather than generating their own surplus returns.By many analysts' and insiders' estimates, we've just entered that second stage in the generative AI industry. That's the sort of AI that generates text and images and code and such, and it's increasingly becoming a sort of commodity, rather than a new, hot things that few companies can offer the market.What I'd like to talk about today are the increasingly massive financial figures associated with this industry's shift to that second stage of development, and why some of those insiders and analysts are voicing fresh concerns that this could all lead to a bubble, and possibly an historically large one.—There are many ways we could measure the growth of the AI industry over the years.The US market size, for instance, which is a measure of the value of AI-oriented companies based on how much shares of their company cost or would cost on the open market, has ballooned from just over $100 billion in 2022 to an estimated $174 billion in 2025. That figure is expected to grow at a not quite 20% compound annual growth rate through 2034, which, if accurate, would put this market, in the US alone, at more than $850 billion.Another metric we might use is that of capital expenditure, or capex, in this corner of the tech industry, which refers to the amount of money AI companies are using to buy, upgrade, or maintain their long-term assets, like new computer chips or the data centers they fill with those chips.The seven most valuable US tech companies—Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA, and Broadcom (that last spot formerly held by Tesla, which was dropped from this designation in late-2024)—just those seven companies have spent $102.5 billion on capex this last financial quarter (and most of that was from just four of them, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon, the remainder only spending something like $6.7 billion).That's a staggering amount of money, and due to a recent drop in consumer demand—the money individual US citizens spend on things like food and clothes and smartphones and cars and all the other things people buy—AI-related capex, spending by these massive US tech companies, has added more to GDP growth than consumer spending for the past two quarters.All the things all the people in the US bought over the past two quarters did not cost as much, in aggregate, as what these companies spent during the same period, on new and existing assets. That's pretty wild.And it's the consequence, partly, of the shift in these companies' focus from providing goods and services that relied heavily on people—salary and stock compensation, basically, which is not a capex expense, because its spent on employees, not stuff—to spending heavily on all that infrastructure that they believe will be required to help them compete with those other companies that are also frantically investing in the same.Whomever can built the biggest, baddest, most reliable and powerful data centers, and can get the AI-optimized chips to fill them, will have an advantage over their opponents in the new, developing tech world paradigm, it's thought, so they're pumping gobs of resources into exactly those sorts of assets, hoping to get ahead, build an insurmountable advantage, and put their competition out of business—or failing that, to establish themselves as the AI Coca-Cola, versus their opposition's AI Mr. Pip.Similar dynamics are playing out elsewhere, especially in China, where the market could reach a value approximating today's US AI market in 3-5 years, and several times that, up to $1.4 trillion, by 2030—though like all of these figures, it depends on how we choose to measure these sorts of things, including what counts as an AI company, and in China, several of their major AI players are heavily involved in automation, robotics, which itself is expected to be a $5 trillion industry in that country by 2050.Europe's market is comparably smaller, as is its overall tech industry, but the AI market is now just shy of 15% of its total tech sector, up from 12% in 2022, and AI startups are attracting about a quarter of all VC funding in the bloc right now—so they're starting from a less spendy start, but like pretty much everywhere the necessary knowledge and manufacturing base exists at the moment, the European AI market is growing a lot faster than anyone would have expected even just five years ago.And there are real-deal innovations coming out of this tech; these investments are flooding into AI companies because these technologies, this version of them, the generative AI stuff, has completely rewired the programming world, AI bots and agents helping coders achieve a lot more, faster, and non-coders make things they wouldn't have been able to build lacking these tools, imperfect as many of those tools are, under the hood.We're also seeing an explosion of other sorts of generated content, and the injection of these tools that make such content into Hollywood studios and consulting firms and government agencies, and everything in between, is causing equal parts panic and excitement, depending on whether you're one of the people who feels like they might be laid off soon, replaced by software, or if you're someone who profits from all those layoffs, and the payments from the companies that hope to save money by conducting them, replacing their comparably expensive employees with cheaper AI tools.Things have gotten so wild that Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started offering compensation packages ranging from $200 million to more than a billion dollars to top AI talent. Meta's AI spending is already massive, and could hit $72 billion this year, but the company has said it could hit $100 billion in 2026, while Microsoft's leadership suggested their 2025 spending of $30 billion could balloon to $120 billion in 2026.OpenAI recently offered their employees large bonuses, in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars range, to counter those sorts of overtures from the likes of Meta, but there's a lot of money flying around from all direction right now, much of it aimed at more AI infrastructure, or the relatively few people on the planet who understand this tech well enough to make a competitive difference in this industry.That's…a lot of money. There's just so much spending happening, so many resources sloshing around in this one space right now, and all this investment is predicated on the idea that AI will change everything, we're stepping into a new paradigm, and those who control the AI, will basically own the next game. So they're all trying to set things up so they win the next game, or at least have the best hand possible when it arrives.There have been increasingly loud arguments, made by long-time generative AI critics, but also, more recently, ardent AI boosters, that we might be running up against a wall of what these things can do for us; this version of the AI concept, at least.And these arguments got louder with OpenAI's release of their long-teased GPT-5 model, which some expected to be true AGI, human-grade, flexible, omni-capable intelligence, while others thought it might be a mono-focused superintelligence of some kind: the perfect coder, the perfect image generator, something like that.What users got was not that. It seems to be better at some things, still not great at others.This was an incredibly expensive model to produce—the training costs alone are estimated to be something like a half-billion dollars, and that's just a portion of the total costs of creating this sort of model—and what OpenAI served up, instead of something groundbreaking, was a slightly better, though in some ways seemingly the same or worse version of what everyone's been playing with for years, now.There's room for disagreement on this, as while there are some more objective tests for measuring models' capabilities, a lot of it is circumstantial, and depends, among other things, on what you're trying to do, how the systems are prompted, and so on.There's also something to be said for cost-reductions and other sorts of benefits of new models, beyond raw power and capability.But this thud of a launch for what was supposed to be a sea-changing system has led to the ringing of some alarm bells, industry watchers wondering if we might be careening toward a bubble, at a moment in which, again, this segment of the tech industry is contributing more to the US's GDP than all of consumer spending, combined.A bubble, to be clear, wouldn't mean the collapse of the US economy, or even these companies, necessarily. It would mean a lot of AI entities going under, a lot of invested money lost, and a lot of people who suddenly don't have jobs.Almost always there are a few players in these bubbly spaces that make it to the other side, though—eBay, for instance, survived the dotcom bubble intact, as did Amazon, PayPal, and Adobe, among many others.But the grand shakeout, the sifting for those that could survive a mammoth downturn, and the destruction of the rest, that's a tough moment for those directly connected to the bubble-popping industry, and those adjacent to it: the folks who feed the employees who are now laid off, the suppliers of the light switches that go in all the data centers, etc.There are ripple effects to this sort of bubble pop moment, then, and though such sifting might be long-term beneficial, because it maybe weeds out some of the dead-weight and makes things more efficient in that space five or ten years in the future, that won't help the folks who lose a lot of money when the industry shrinks, including those who have their money at banks that made bad bets, or insurance companies that did the same, with their customers resources.Everything's great for everyone when these sorts of high-risk, high-reward bets are paying out, but when the golden goose of huge anticipated future profits disappears, that shakeout leaves a lot of entities and people with emptier pockets.None of which suggests this is going to happen; there's a chance that we continue to see better and better models using the current, generative AI technology, or that some of these companies successfully pivot to another AI approach that bears better, next-step fruit, and things just keep getting more and more powerful and less and less expensive for everyone; that could theoretically lead to some pretty cool, broadly beneficial things.This sort of risk is lurking in the background of everything that's happening, though, and while upbeat marketing messages and predictions about how cool it will all be when the next-step tools arrive can keep things going for a while, even lacking major milestones that can be pointed at to justify those claims, at some point we'll probably need to see something really, truly different and novel, or the bottom could fall out, leaving those who were more careful tip-toeing into this collection of technologies looking less like they're being left behind, and more like they took smart precautions and made safe, reliable investments.Show Noteshttps://www.precedenceresearch.com/us-artificial-intelligence-markethttps://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/united-stateshttps://techcrunch.com/2024/12/23/ai-startups-attracted-25-of-europes-vc-funding/https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://paulkedrosky.com/honey-ai-capex-ate-the-economy/https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/silicon-valley-ai-infrastructure-capex-cffe0431https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://archive.is/20250808224658/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-07/tesla-disbands-dojo-supercomputer-team-in-blow-to-ai-efforthttps://fortune.com/2025/08/04/billionaire-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-staffers-poaching-meta-mark-zuckerberg-100k-six-figure-salaries-openai-sam-altman/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e02vx55wpohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/business/dealbook/meta-microsoft-ai-spending-shares.htmlhttps://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-meta-billion-dollars-ai-poaching-failed/ This is a public episode.

Xelia has led a unique journey from an initially very promising start in football right up to getting self-tape auditions sent out and landing some major roles in the process. Of course, you'll hear about the whole journey and a ton elsewhere too, as Xelia has a lot to report from said off-screen environments including navigating their path as a trans person.

This episode we dive into the ins and outs of Wernher von Braun's wartime credentials, before the Americans would be faced with the decision of whether or not his file needed a paperclip to begin with. (It did!) Contrasting heavily from last episode's Klaus Fuchs, we look at someone whose humanity always came second to his ambition as a scientist in Nazi Germany, and contextualise his role into the broader scope of the Nazi concentration camp system. Who were some of the more sinister characters he met along the way? What did the Summer of 1945 look like for him and his fellow engineers as the Third Reich crumbled around them?++++++

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by fabulous actor LAUREN LYLE!A perfect piece of acting-focused chat but of course, not limited to...! Lauren is a very welcome guest, who has been on a proper mission on her way to securing bigger roles and ones that would find those huge audiences. From her artistic origins, spending time in New Zealand and putting in work in various disciplines back in the day, to the real machine work of getting more and more roles which ultimately led to the point at which we find Lauren today! Of course, there are the universal and familiar issues of comparison (unfortunately inevitable in areas of the acting world), but also revelations to do with community, finding and asking for help, swimming, the hidden positive aspects of breakups, and also - speaking of revelations - Pip casually throws one in there around halfway in which you don't want to miss so stick around for that nugget!

In deze aflevering reizen we af naar Gemert, waar we op bezoek gaan bij Sientje (en Jos!). In dit huis in Gemert slaapt op moment van opname (tijdens de hittegolf) een drieling: Tess, Janne en Pip van zes-en-een-half. We praten met Sientje over hoe ze na zes weken zwangerschap hoorden dat het er geen één, geen twee, maar drie waren. Over hoe het is om een kinderwagen niet op Marktplaats te kunnen kopen. Hoe het is om op straat om de twee meter te moeten stoppen omdat iemand roept: “WAH ZIE IK NU, ZIJN DA DER DRIE??” Hoe het is als er maar twee van de drie door de Efteling-keuring komen. En van zulks!Met roze koeken en een temperatuur van 35 graden praten we over slaaptekort, het belang van een goed schema, en het moment dat ze dachten dat de echoscopist een grapje maakte.

When Neil and Tracy arrive at Number 6 they are unimpressed by the mess. Neil goes to fetch Jazzer, while Susan is shocked to discover Martyn under a blanket. As Martyn goes to get dressed, happy memories of last night start coming back. At Berrow, hungover Jazzer tests Neil's patience, but Martyn is in a forgiving mood, hinting heavily at what he and Marlene did last night. Meanwhile, having helped clear up, Susan chastises Tracy for the state of the place, before Jazzer rings, mentioning what Martyn and Marlene got up to. Tracy moans, they'll have to sterilise the house all over again now, but Susan reckons Tracy's on her own with that one. When Stella apologises to Pip for missing Tracy's party, Pip tells her she had a great time, until Toby mentioned the idea of giving Rosie a phone. Stella is just as appalled as Pip about the potential risks and having to monitor Rosie all the time. But when Pip defends Toby's intentions, she upsets Stella in the process. Later, Pip phones Stella to clear the air, then turns up at the eco-office, explaining she's told Toby that Rosie's not having a phone, but they will try to make him feel more connected. Stella then tells Pip she'd prefer Rosie not to call her ‘Mum', before adding how grateful she is for Pip's support, because it feels like something is going to blow at next week's Board meeting.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Leeds acting legend RALPH INESON!We join Ralph in that limbo state of him being wrapped on a film but us, the public, having not yet seen it (at time of broadcast) - but playing the role of Galactus must be quite a trip, and certainly quite a height to come back down to Earth from. Thankfully Ralph is a delightful blend of proud but also humble, and we get to hear a perfect collage of tales from his career. From the early days of wokring as security to being a teacher and then - with echoes of Ed Skrein's past mantra - someone saying "Why the f•ck not?" in regards to whether or not he should give acting a shot... We also get to hear about the conflicts of playing, or maybe rather being associated with 'Finchy' from The Office, the strangeness of being part of the MCU which already has a very dedicated fanbase, and his 25 year old son leading the bootcamp for him in the MCU too. There's also the uniquely strange experience of playing Galactus and how that whole thing worked - but this is all for you to enjoy...!

Despite Dane having organised an International Gala in Las Vegas Lynda remains to be convinced Dane has what it takes to help with the Summer Fete. Akram however is impressed that almost every item on Lynda's To-Do list has been ticked off by Dane, who also offers to help book the elusive Hollerton Silver Band. Dane envisions the traditional English fete he has in mind, with Grey Gables' sponsorship covering costs for rides like a helter-skelter and carousel, items previously beyond their means. Even Lynda is impressed by the overall offer, especially when Dane offers Zainab's services to help with the organisation, and agrees they have a deal.Stella's taking a break from the harvest when she bumps into Jolene at the Shop. Stella can't believe the police haven't been more proactive in response to recent events, but Jolene says they don't have any proof they're connected to Markie. And Kenton is simply trying to block the whole problem out. Vince has told Jolene that Markie is out of prison on licence, so if he puts a foot wrong he'll be straight back inside. Lynda gives Stella a lift, with Monty in the back, and they talk about Stella getting another dog. Stella asks Lynda about being called “Mum” by a stepchild. Lynda's advice is to be honest and say no to Pip, if Stella doesn't feel comfortable. Lynda then confides in Stella about the sponsorship deal for the fete, making it clear that Grey Gables' role is merely supportive - they are definitely not taking it over!
Events spiral out of control at The Bull, and Pip has a surprising question to ask.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Joe Gilgun, originally episode 284 from 2019-08-21.Original writeup below:Indeed - this is the week, people. Pip's been hyping it up for a while now, rightfully so, as Joe is an awesome guest who fits right in like hands to a pair of gloves. And boy howdy do Pip and Joe get into it all… From his appearances on the brilliant Two Shot Podcast, to his own dealing with bipolar (including the importance of having characters who deal with the condition but not as their only character asset), not being the condition you have, working with the powerful Shane Meadows and the many actors under his expansive wings, his bipolar purchase decisions (including parrots and many, many pairs of trainers), living in a derelict house in the woods, social media and its many pitfalls including reasons for him to not use it, all his acting work from Corrie to Brassic and all in between, the lush countryside of the Midlands, being a ‘tall poppy' - the one who isn't allowed to get above his station back in the days, learning words through context clues, learning the hard way with a strict teacher, the freedom of taking ideas to Sky, and dealing with memory problems. Yes it's rammed. Yes you'll enjoy it.

HR: part therapist, part referee, part corporate cleanup crew. This week, we're joined by Amy Lentz, Chief People Officer at TOMS and the creator behind HackYourHR, to answer the big question: what does HR actually do all day (besides read your Slack messages)? From her early days working for the Obama administration to landing at TOMS, Amy shares what it really takes to keep a workplace semi-functional. She also gets a front-row seat to some of the wildest corporate confessions we've ever collected and breaks down each scandal with her HR perspective. We dig into the secrets of anonymous feedback forms, the ethics of outing an STD at the office, and whether HR is quietly tracking your office romance. Plus, we debate job title upgrades, “Open to Work” etiquette, and whether you should ask for a raise while you're on a PIP.
