Mark Morgenfruh is the President and CEO of GetHRready and author of "Never Fire Anyone: A Leader's Guide on how to Lead People not Companies." He holds a Master of Human Resource Management from Rutgers University and built his no-nonsense, trust-first philosophy from the ground up. In this episode, Mark dismantles the two most common leadership failures he calls "keyboard cowboys" (leading from behind a screen) and "happy talk" (avoiding the real conversation until it's too late). He makes the case that trust isn't built through programs or policies — it's built by being a normal human being when you walk through the door. Mark introduces his values-based leadership and disciplinary model — an alternative to PIPs and terminations. He explains why firing someone is more often a reflection of a bad hire or promotion decision than a performance problem. He also challenges HR to stop being the policy police and start being an enabler of real relationships between leaders and their people. If you've ever avoided a hard conversation, put someone on a PIP, or wondered why your culture feels transactional — this episode is for you. Watch this Episode on YouTube | Mark Morgenfruh on Never Fire Anyone https://bit.ly/TLP-502 Key Takeaways [02:47] Mark explains why leaders undermine trust — even with good intentions — by hiding behind hierarchy instead of being human. [04:11] Mark expands into his two failure modes: keyboard cowboys who lead from behind a screen, and happy talk that avoids the real conversation. [07:22] Mark defines trust-based leadership — it's not the carrot, not the stick. It's simply being a normal person when you walk through the door. [14:07] Mark argues PIPs almost never work and terminations reflect a hiring failure. He offers a values-based model that moves people into roles where they can succeed. [16:24] Mark introduces a core framework from his book: employees should create more value than they consume. [19:26] Mark points out that most companies dismiss exit interviews instead of mining them for honest feedback. [20:58] Mark shows why strong relationships let you catch the unraveling early, and why waiting until the fifth or sixth waypoint is too late. [29:49] Mark reframes HR's real role — not a policy manual, not a union shop, but an enabling function that coaches people back into direct relationships. [35:08] Mark challenges companies to engage talent wherever they are, and tells leaders of remote teams exactly what they're doing wrong. [39:58] Mark closes with a clear message: kill happy talk, lead with candor, and act with urgency before the spiral starts. [42:25] And remember..."To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved." — George MacDonald Quotable Quotes "Stop the happy talk. Stuff is going south — let's talk about what's going south and how we fix it." "A termination is a more severe reflection on the hiring or promotion decision than it is on the employee." "Trust comes from being normal. Just having a conversation with people." "You're never going to get in trouble for doing more than you have to do for a person. Period. End of story." "There's some veil that we put on when we walk through that door that is killing us in our work relationships." "You don't call when you just need something. You call just to see how they're doing."

In this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts tackle part two of Performance Improvement Plans (“PIPs”) from the employees perspective. A PIP, to remind listeners, is still the same document—written performance gaps, expectations, timeline, support, consequences—but from the receiver's side it lands less like a development tool and more like the death knell. There's that heart-pounding meeting, the polite tone, the printed packet, and suddenly our brains are cycling through shock, shame, anger, and a quick mental calculation of our mortgages. The stories rush in: “This is a setup.” “I had no idea.” “My boss never liked me.” “I'm doomed.” So first: regulate. When cortisol is driving the bus, our executive function is in the back seat. Breathe. Take notes. Ask for 72 hours to review. We don't have to debate our entire careers in a single meeting. And don't sign blindly if you disagree—request time, add written comments, clarify whether you're signing as “received” rather than “agreed.” At the same time, don't give anyone ammunition; professionalism is our shield. Get clarity for what is missing in writing: ask for specific examples, request measurable targets, and what “success” looks like at the end of the period. If something feels legally risky—protected leave, discrimination—loop in HR or an employment attorney early. Calm is strategic. Then comes the paradox: work the plan, even if you're skeptical. We can translate the PIP into our own micro-goals. Treat it like a project with deliverables, evidence, and weekly metrics. Use check-ins wisely—bring receipts, ask what an “A” looks like, request training or resources, and get specific about the skills you're expected to build. Meanwhile, manage the nervous system somewhere other than the manager's office. And we need to consider whether we have the skills, experience and mindset to achieve the goals the employer set for us - and whether we have a chance at convincing our employer that his the case. And yes, consider a parallel path. Update the résumé. Polish LinkedIn. Network quietly. Doing our best and planning our exit are not mutually exclusive; they're smart risk management. A PIP requires action, whether that be bringing our A game or finding something new - in the end, the choice is ours.

Over a 30-year career, UK indie Producer and Director Pip Piper has Produced nine feature documentaries, including 'Mountain Biking: The Untold British Story' and 'Bicycle', both with two-times BAFTA winning director Michael Baig-Clifford; directed six feature documentaries, including the music industry trilogy 'Last Shop Standing', 'The Vinyl Revival' and 'Long and Winding Road'; and Exec Produced three more. He also Produced the critically acclaimed drama feature 'The Insatiable Moon'. But Pip has also been busy in other areas, too; for 30 years he has run the One Small Barking Dog charity; spent 16 years running production company Blue Hippo Media; 10 years as the Chair of the West Midlands Producers Forum; 10 years teaching an MA in film distribution and marketing; and he has run three film festivals. Pip has a new feature documentary coming to British cinemas in March 2026, called 'Jo In The Water'. It was filmed throughout 2025 and it follows Jo Bateman, an Exmouth-based sea swimmer, who became a "reluctant activist" campaigning for clean water in UK rivers and seas when the dumping of millions of litres of raw sewage by her local water company impacted her physical and mental health — a familiar story all over the UK; and such has been the impact of the documentary, on March the 2nd, British MPs attended a special screening of the film at Westminster. For his work in highlighting social issues to bring about awareness and change, we might fairly describe Pip as an "active activist".

Ty Farmer, senior director of Corporate Safety at Dycom Industries, Inc. could have let being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) early in his career derail him completely. Instead, he turned a difficult moment into a powerful learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ty's military background led him to his first role at General Electric (GE), where he was quickly thrown into the fire as a regional EHS manager for the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Rather than shutting down in the face of early challenges, Ty leaned into his experiences, using them as opportunities to reflect and grow. After more than a decade at GE, he moved on to a new role where he built an organization's safety program completely from the ground up. In this episode of My Big Safety Challenge, Ty shares why building genuine connections across an organization—from the brand-new employee to the c-suite executive—is essential to creating a strong safety culture. He also discusses the importance of a glass-half-full mindset, offers practical insight on gaining leadership buy-in, and explains why it's a strength, not a weakness, to ask for help.
Podcast Summary: Comprehensive Guide to Personal Injury Law with Karl LuthIn this episode of the El Paso Local Business Area podcast, host David sits down with Carl Luth of the Law Office of Karl Luth. The conversation serves as an essential "miniature education" for anyone in the El Paso area who has been injured and is considering hiring a personal injury lawyer. Luth breaks down the complexities of the legal process, the importance of immediate medical attention, and how his firm navigates the tactics used by insurance companies to ensure victims are "made whole."The "Golden Rule" of Post-Accident CareLuth emphasizes one critical piece of advice: Seek medical attention immediately. Many victims make the mistake of waiting because they feel "fine" due to the adrenaline of the moment.Documentation: Medical records from the ER or a hospital provide the necessary paper trail to prove that injuries—such as whiplash or internal soreness—are directly tied to the specific incident.Delayed Symptoms: Injuries often manifest days or even a week later. Without immediate documentation, insurance companies will argue that the injury is unrelated to the accident, significantly devaluing the claim.Navigating Insurance Tactics & Maximizing CompensationA major highlight of the discussion is why an advocate is necessary. Insurance companies are not in the business of paying out fair settlements; their goal is to pay as little as possible. Luth's firm uses the best practices for case management by building a robust "case file" that is difficult for insurers to ignore.The Expert Team: Luth's staff includes professionals with backgrounds in medical billing and the insurance industry. They understand "behind-the-scenes" procedures and how to read medical codes to justify the true value of an injury.Calculating Damages: Compensation isn't just about current bills. It factors in imaging (MRIs/CT scans), chiropractic care, physical therapy, and—crucially—future medical treatment required to manage long-term effects.Common Mistakes and MisconceptionsLuth identifies several errors that can hinder a case:Gaps in Treatment: Skipping physical therapy or chiropractor appointments gives insurance adjusters "room to argue" that the injury isn't severe.Uninsured Motorists: In El Paso, many drivers lack insurance. Luth clarifies that if you have "Uninsured Motorist" or "Personal Injury Protection" (PIP) on your own policy, you can still recover damages even if the other party is broke or uninsured.Fear of Premiums: Victims often avoid filing a claim on their own insurance because they fear a rate hike. Luth points out that if the other driver is already filing a claim, the incident is already on record; by not filing your own, you are simply denying yourself the benefits you already paid for.The Contingency Model: Zero Upfront CostFor those worried about the cost of a personal injury lawyer, Luth explains the "Letter of Protection" (LOP) system.Free Consultations: The firm provides information first, ensuring the client is well-informed before making a decision.No Out-of-Pocket Expenses: The firm covers all upfront costs for medical evaluations and imaging. They are paid only when the case is settled, meaning there is zero financial risk to the client to pursue what they deserve.Contact & Firm DetailsAttorney: Law Office of Karl Luth, PLLCAddress: 1790 North Lee Trevino, Suite 516, El Paso, TXPhone: 915-213-2025 (Available 24/7)Website: truthlaw.org
Mary-Ellen McTague is one of the driving forces behind Manchester's modern food scene: a chef, restaurateur and community builder whose cooking is rooted in place, craft and proper hospitality. In this episode, she joins the go-to food podcast to talk about the city she helped shape, the dishes she can't stop thinking about, and the hard-won lessons behind building restaurants that people genuinely love.Her story runs from cooking for touring bands at Manchester's Roadhouse as a student, to breaking barriers at the Michelin-starred Sharrow Bay Country House, and then into Heston Blumenthal's inner circle at The Fat Duck. From the intensity and precision of a two-then-three-star kitchen to an R&D role exploring Britain's food history at The Hind's Head, Mary-Ellen's career has been defined by curiosity, grit, and an obsession with flavour that actually means something.Back home, she became synonymous with Manchester's dining renaissance—opening trailblazing restaurants, earning national acclaim, and feeding not just thousands of happy punters, but (as the hosts proudly put it) well over 150,000 people across the city. She shares what it's really like to build a “rotation” of ambitious young chefs in Manchester, why a dish like Lancashire hotpot can carry identity and memory, and how her love of simple, brilliant produce started with a life-changing stint in rural Provence.The conversation also goes deeper: burnout, resilience, an ADHD diagnosis that “explained a lot,” and the purpose-led work of Eat Well MCR—turning surplus food and community energy into meals for people who need them most. Expect big laughs, kitchen war stories, and plenty of menu envy—especially when Mary-Ellen breaks down her PIP snack essentials and that signature hotpot (with oyster ketchup) that might just be the most “her” dish of all.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Phil Argent shares his journey as a dyslexic entrepreneur, exploring how neurodiversity shapes innovative thinking, decision-making, and building global systems. Discover insights on system thinking, leveraging AI, and embracing your unique talents to achieve big goals.TakeawaysThe "Engine" Analogy: Phil views businesses and digital ecosystems as engines. His strength lies in taking them apart, understanding every component, and rebuilding them for peak optimization.Intellectual Off-Switch: A common trait discussed is the "instant-on" brain. Phil and Stephen talk about the challenge of waking up at 100% capacity, often in the middle of the night, and how to harness that energy rather than fight it.Trust and Speed at Virgin: Phil reflects on the "Virgin DNA"—a culture of absolute trust and rapid execution. He highlights how Richard Branson's leadership style empowered neurodivergent thinkers to move at a "relentless pace" without overthinking decisions.The "Parking Lot" Strategy: To combat the "Shiny Object Syndrome" common among dyslexic entrepreneurs, Phil and Stephen discuss the importance of framing ambitions bigger. If you feel distracted, re-evaluate your goal—a big enough ambition requires discipline and keeps you focused on the long-term system rather than short-term pivots.The Power of AI (Raffi & Pip): Both guest and host reveal they use custom AI assistants (Phil's "Raffi" and Stephen's "Pip") to interrogate their thinking, organize tasks, and execute at a speed that would otherwise require a massive team.Dyslexia, Neurodiversity, Entrepreneurship, System Thinking, AI, Innovation, Personal Growth, Business Strategy, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderaddednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:truthaboutdyslexia.comJoin our Facebook Groupfacebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia

In this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts consider the Performance Improvement Plans (“PIPs”) from the management perspective. This is the first of two episodes on PIPs. The second part will cover PIPs from the employee's perspective. Our hosts unpack how and when PIPs are effective and conversely, what is just a waste of time and a cause for unnecessary tension and conflict. Employers must trade vague critiques (“needs to be more proactive”) for measurable targets (“submit weekly reports by Friday at 3 p.m. with zero data errors”). A well-crafted PIP defines specific goals, timelines, support resources, and consequences—because fairness lives in clarity. It's not about catching someone failing; it's about giving them a fair shot at succeeding. We also explored the delicate balance between empathy and accountability. Employers walk a tightrope: offering coaching, training, and regular check-ins while holding firm on standards. A PIP isn't just a document; it's an ongoing conversation. Done right, it becomes a roadmap for growth. Done poorly, it becomes a paper trail for regret. And yes, documentation matters. Not because employers enjoy paperwork (they don't), but because consistency protects everyone. A transparent process reduces bias, reinforces culture, and ensures that performance management isn't arbitrary. It signals to the broader team that standards are real—and that support is, too. Ultimately, PIPs can be good leadership in action. They require courage to address issues directly, discipline to measure progress objectively, the generosity to offer reasonable support and humanity to recognize that behind every metric is a person. Sometimes a PIP ends in renewed performance and restored confidence. Sometimes it ends in parting ways. Either way, when approached thoughtfully, it reflects an employer's commitment to clarity, fairness, and the long-term health of the organization.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the Traitors-starring legend JESSIE ROUX!An episode for the books right here! Those of you who love and appreciate the how Traitors will have surely also come to love and appreciate the recent breakout superstar Jessie. Jessie's awesome from the start of course but it's a weirdly rare thing to see and hear folks with a stammer out there in the mainstream media (our very own Pip notwithstanding), so when she comes along and blesses the world with such an aura and pure vibes it is a treat to be celebrated. Naturally - as comes up in the conversation - Jessie is not her stammer, in so much as it is not her identity. So enjoy this brilliant chat which covers so much in her life, upbringing, present day and so much in her personal experience which leads to the person you're listening to in this episode.

Today, we catch up with Emerald Fennell, originally episode 540 from 2023-11-15.Original writeup below:An excellent chat with the very awesome Emerald, whose work you will likely have caught up with over the past few years in any one of her many capacities. Playing Camilla on The Crown, writing on Killing Eve, or writing and directing 2020's brilliant Promising Young Woman. Here we catch up with Emerald in promotionland to hear about her new film Saltburn, which we'll see in cinemas around mid-November. But as you will know from this podcast, it's not as basic as simple promotion - Pip gets into a lot of the mechanics of Emerald's world, including process, world building, reference, inspiration, small and big screen, casting, personal idea hierarchies, and so much more. It's a real pleasure to hear about it all in depth, so set aside some time to really enjoy this one.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by film-maker and director CORIN HARDY!Corin's new film 'Whistle' aptly drops on Friday 13th, which will surely be on the radar of the horror heads among you but if not, it might form part of your forthcoming movie schedule after listening to this one... Corin's served many years in the game, from time spent in set design and then onto stop motion, which led onto over 50 music videos which further led to working in a more cinematic capacity. It's been a hugely creative path, all underpinned by music which also forms a huge link in the chain (as you'll hear from the mutual interest in Operation Ivy and Rancid), and as with all Distraction Pieces the chat reins are loosened and conversation wanders into all sorts of awesome ground. Crucially though - you'll hear a ton about Whistle (without hearing the whistle itself - thankfully? - which is present throughout the chat), and the process of bringing it to the screen.

Mark Mangini will be receiving the Motion Picture Sound Editors Lifetime Achievement Award at this years's Golden Reel ceremonies. To celebrate this honour, Mark and I sat down in Formosa's Stage 6 for a fascinating talk about all the projects for which he has been nominated at the Golden Reels over the years. In this part 1, Mark discusses his early work starting with all time classics like Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Poltergeist, Gremlins and Star Trek: The Voyage Home. Part 2 will be coming out in a few days where we cover the rest of his career to present day.

This week on All About The Archers, Philippa and Quentin dig into a tense and chaotic few days in Ambridge, covering Sunday 8th, Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th February.With George suddenly rushing off at the end of Tuesday's episode, the big question is whether he's finally remembered something crucial about the night of the attack — and if so, what that means for Amber, whose behaviour is raising more than a few eyebrows.There's also plenty of outrage over the Brookfield inheritance plans, growing concern for Josh's future, and disbelief at David and Ruth's approach to both family communication and tax planning. Add in Valentine's Day nonsense, spiky exchanges across the village, a questionable horsebox hair salon idea, and a surprisingly tender moment from Brian Aldridge, and it's another packed week in The Archers.In this episode, we discuss:George's sudden dash and whether his memory is returningThe growing suspicion around Amber and her increasingly desperate behaviourPredictions about whether we'll finally learn who attacked George this weekNeil and Susan's ongoing attitude to George and AmberThe Brookfield inheritance decision and why it's left us furiousInheritance tax blind spots and the risks being taken with the family farmJosh's anger, disappointment and Brian Aldridge's unexpected pep talkThe future of Pip and Stella at BrookfieldValentine's Day chaos at the BullFallon's cutting put-down of AmberThe horsebox hair salon plan and whether it makes any senseStar and Twit of the WeekListener theories and predictionsAlso mentioned:A bonus audio-only Q&A episode with Holly Chapman (Alice Carter), featuring questions from the All About The Archers Facebook group, coming this Saturday.If you enjoy the podcast, there are lots of ways to stay involved and support the show:Watch, follow & support All About The Archers▶️ Watch on YouTube: All About The Archers☕ Support the podcast: Buy us a coffee
Y'know, folks like to say Pip is wholly without confidence. That he don't know how to make a decision. In some ways they're right I guess. 'Cept when it's him against a monster. Thats a different Pip altogether. When that crossbows pumpin' and he's making tough calls with teeth on his neck, thats a different Pip.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Fearne Cotton, originally episode 295 from 2019-10-30.Original writeup below:This is the mirror side of a two podcast deal the two of them struck up, where Pip appeared on her ‘Happy Place' podcast, so as you'll witness, the driver is often interchangeable, but it's all perfect as they get on just grand. Maybe it's because they were born a month apart and have the same cultural touchstones - WHO KNOWS! Whatever the case, it's a breeze of a podcast which touches on so much including a sentence which features Hanson and Led Zeppelin in the same breath (in fact I think it could be called an “Mmm Bop-cast” but that's of no consequence), her intro into different kinds of music, being mates with Sarah Cawood and how she eventually got into gig going through her, Coldplay haters, the power of music shared on a mass scale, cathartic crying sessions, early days of her presenting on TV and growing up in front of the camera, presenting the Disney Club, still being treated as a kid in adult life, the old fashioned kid poop story which serves as a grounding device, how being a cool parent isn't possible, her book ‘Happy', losing her sense of self in her 20's and regaining it later, social media, podcast therapy, changing one's self in the midst of crisis and her work with CoppaFeel.

Today, we have a special guest on the podcast, Keith Lucas, a startup advisor specializing in product, growth, people and culture. Keith led product and engineering at Roblox, helping scale its infrastructure, product offerings, team and business. Most recently, Keith published a book entitled Impact: How to Inspire, Align, and Amplify Innovative Teams. All book proceeds go to charities to help young entrepreneurs, so make sure you check the link in the notes and grab the book today.In our chat, Keith is going to walk us through key concepts in the book, surrounding centering your team around the vision and mission of what you are driving towards, from recruiting to execution to "coaching out".Questions:What was your goal in writing this book? What were you hoping to accomplish?In Chapter 1, you mention purpose inspiring action. How does aligning to purpose drive urgency, without resulting in burnout or being an "antiquated mandate", like you mention in Chapter 2?You state "Culture is what you do, not what you say"... How does a leader's daily behavior - especially around micromanagement or decision-making speed - define the team's realized values, overriding the company's codified ones?I found the idea of The Cascade (Chapter 5) interesting, mapping core beliefs to execution alignment. In terms of feedback, what is the difference between "belief busting" and "hypothesis busting" feedback? How should leaders respond to each in order to maintain trust and agility?How often should entrepreneurial teams deliberately challenge and re-org autonomous pods to optimize for agility and opportunity, over long term stability?Now this is interesting - the "okay contributor", you define as a person who meets standards in all areas but shows no exceptionalism. Why is this person more damaging to a culture of mastery, than the high talent disrupter?What is a Mission Athlete? When recruiting, how does preparing a vision doc for a role shift the recruiting conversation from transactional to one focused on strategic alignment and ownership?You mention in Chapter 8 that compensation can be a distraction. What core mistakes do scaling startups make with compensation that turn it from a non-issue into an energy-sapping problem that erodes retention?You define Coaching Out as the intentional process of protecting the productive from the disruptive, treating an exit as a non-personal assessment that maintains decency and clarity. Can you describe the GYOR continuum?Why should leaders avoid formal PIP's when dealing with a struggling team member? What must replace it to ensure accountability and decency?SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN!A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that was an entire decade ago it turns out. And as with life in general, it also turns out that an almost insurmountable itinerary can intervene. In Jess's case, without treading on any of what you're about to hear, there's been an immense amount of grief, varying degrees of addiction, depression, and in case you need any sensitivity warnings, there is frank discussion of suicide - so please know that before you begin this episode.Of course, among the heavier elements of the conversation, a huge amount of light enters - Jess and Pip are lovely people and you're in safe hands, as hopefully you'll feel aware of by now. There's a lovely balance of the fun and the far more serious, including a lot of fascinating chat regarding social media and the like. But importantly, even if this situation doesn't mirror one of your own, there will likely be familiar moments or perhaps some which might be of help for others going through it. However you meet it, you'll emerge at the end in a different spot, and hopefully have found a glorious new friend in the bargain. A valuable, intimate but ultimately incredibly powerful conversation right here folks.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureJESS IGSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Will Poulter, originally episode 167 from 2017-10-17.Original writeup below:In the midst of his current promo run for Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit', Will takes time to sit down with Pip for a long overdue chat covering - as you will have come to expect from the DPP - a crazy large number of bases... From the issues raised in portraying a violently racist policeman in 'Detroit' (and the poignancy of the film itself), a powerful back and forth is triggered with Pip and Will, which is the beauty of films like this and how an open discussion can be had which leads into so much more besides - race, politics, society, it's all here. On top of that, you'll hear his tale from the very early days back in 'School Of Comedy' and how his young foot in the acting world's door gave him the necessary inspiration for a full on career, Will drops some gems from his unique perspective on his experience with acting and his ascent from those younger days right up to 'Son Of Rambow', 'The Maze Runner' and 'The Revenant', the latter of which had him up alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hardy no less. A rich and diverse filmography right there, which has in many ways freed him from his somewhat reductive nickname of 'that Weird Eyebrow Actor'. Get yourself involved, it's a goodie and as interesting as it is entertaining.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Eternals is a noble misfire for the MCU. Directed by winner of the 2021 Best Director Oscar, Chloe Zhao, it attempts to elevate the superhero movie genre. One problem: It's super boring. Eternals, which rambles on for an excruciating 156 minutes, never finds its footing. Plagued by bland characters and a distinct lack of charm, it is never able to distinguish itself among the sea of Marvel movies. And bad news for the House of Mouse, Eternals tepid reviews were only half the problem. Those were trumped by its lack of box office bucks. The latter has more than likely doomed these immortal warriors to the catalogue of one and dones. Now, sit back, stare into the middle distance with a Nordic Jam Lager from Two Pitchers, and put Pip in the drunk tank!

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we look back at the Defund The Police two-part discussion, originally episode 330 from 2020-06-19.Original writeup below:A very timely and hugely informative one for you this week, as Pip is joined by two guests, one after the other. The first is Alex S. Vitale (professor of sociology at Brooklyn College, US), followed by Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper (University Of Greenwich, humanities and social science department).With everything we've seen over the last month in most recent history, one sentiment and statement that's been gaining traction is “Defund The Police”. On face value and without any further research or intrigue, this could come across in an entirely different way than it is supposed to. Pip did a good amount of digging, and after being passed along to appropriate potential guests, meetings were set up and he arrived at two people who are well versed and well equiped to speak on the issue. In the interest of balance, he speaks to Alex from the US, where the issue is very pertinent and pressing and also has very different implications for society there, and also Adam from the UK, who goes into what this means for the UK and the nuances involved.It's a complex matter for sure, but along with the accompanying links from Pip to break down what's been talked about, and a comprehensive conclusion, you'll hopefully be way more up on the subject than you might have been previously, and have a good understanding on what it means to say ‘defund the police'. Be informed, share, and enjoy.ADAM ELLIOTT on TWITTERADAM ONLINEALEX VITALE on TWITTERALEX ONLINEALEX's ARTICLE in THE GUARDIAN PIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the most excellent actor JAMES NELSON-JOYCE!A delightful session with Pip and James, which will bring you adequately up to speed on all things past and present. A lot of seeds were sewn in a not-far-off Nandos where he bumped into Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters (two names which will create the warming glow you can feel from this episode), and from then on we hear about what followed including playing Stephen's brother in A Thousand Blows, how to play a chemistry read, building the backstory, the internalised shame of holding back the reveal of wanting to be an actor, school monologues, the arts being for everyone, and working as part of an ensemble. Naturally you'll be treated to so much more besides, but all in all you can trust that this one's a great one and your attention towards James's past roles will be rewarded!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBA THOUSAND BLOWSTHIS CITY IS OURSBLACK MIRROR: PLAYTHINGINSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
