Thrust onto the public stage at 15 years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai became an international icon for resilience and bravery. Described as a reflection on a life of a woman finally taking charge of her destiny, her memoir Finding My Way has just been published. She joins Anita Rani in the Woman's Hour studio.There's a call to compensate women caught up in the scandal of faulty breast implants manufactured by a French company. The PIP scandal happened in 2012 when it emerged that the implants were filled with industrial silicone instead of medical grade silicone. The implants are far more likely to rupture than others. MPs on the Women's and Equalities Committee have been hearing calls for compensation during their inquiry into the health impacts of breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. Jan Spivey from PIP Action Campaign and Professor Carl Heneghan from The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine join us to discuss this.What if all your dreams come true and you still find yourself a bit grumpy? That's the brilliantly blunt question at the heart of Laura Smyth's stand-up tour, Born Aggy. Laura's journey into comedy wasn't exactly textbook. She left behind a career in teaching, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer that same year and - just two weeks after finishing treatment - was on stage in Live at the Apollo. She joins Nuala McGovern in the studio.Choreographer and artist Amina Khayyam tells Anita about her new dance-theatre work, Bibi Rukiya's Reckless Daughter, which opens soon in London after a national tour. It explores how patriarchy is enforced not only by men, but across generations of women, within family structures.Singer, actor and performer, Petula Clark's career has spanned over eight decades. She sang to wartime troops in the 40s, was a 1950s child star, became a European musical icon before conquering America with her No 1 hit Downtown. She starred in Hollywood movies alongside Fred Astaire and performed on stage in musicals including The Sound of Music, Sunset Boulevard and most recently Mary Poppins. Her autobiography - Is That You, Petula? is out now and she joins Nuala to look back at her long career.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Kayla Quijas, founder of Kayla Q Career Coaching. Kayla's journey from cake decorator to Senior Project Manager at a global law firm is anything but conventional, and it's that transformation that fuels her work helping others break into and thrive in project management. At the heart of the discussion is Kayla's signature framework, the PM Readiness Iron Triangle, which focuses on three key pillars: credentials, experience, and network. You'll hear how to assess your readiness for a PM role, even if you don't come from a traditional background, and what to do if one leg of your triangle feels weak. In this conversation, Kayla shares practical ways to reframe your experience into project management language, advice for overcoming fear and imposter syndrome, and how to network without feeling sleazy or self-promotional. If you're looking for insights on how to grow your project management career—even if you're already PMP-certified—this episode is for you! Sound Bites "With this triangle, you need to be strong in at least two and then figure out where you're weak and shore that one up." "Before that, I was not getting any interviews. And then after that, I landed a project management job pretty quickly." "It is selfish not to share your thoughts because you're afraid people will judge you." "Networking doesn't have to be sleazy. Come at it from a give first perspective." "I got put on a PIP once for a project management job. That was one of the most sinking feelings that I had ever had." "Studying for the PMP, even if you don't take the test, can be a game-changer for your confidence and credibility." "Most of what you're doing in your current role is already project management. You just haven't labeled it that way yet." "You don't need a perfect resume to get hired. You need to tell a better story about your experience." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Start of Interview 02:00 Kayla's Journey from Cake Decorator to Senior PM 03:20 Pivotal Career Decisions 04:20 What Kayla Did After Quitting Her Job 06:00 Introducing the PM Readiness Iron Triangle 07:40 How Kayla Came Up With the Triangle 09:00 A Real-Life Success Story Using the Triangle 11:00 Is the PMP Worth It? 13:00 Benefits Beyond the Certification 17:00 What If You Don't Have Enough Experience? 18:25 Examples of Overlooked Project Experience 20:00 How to Translate Experience into PM Language 24:10 Turning a Project Into a Resume Story 26:00 Reframing Networking So It Feels Authentic 30:20 Kayla's Mastermind Group Strategy 35:10 Giving Value Without Chasing Metrics 36:24 About the PM Readiness Assessment 37:14 End of Interview 37:50 Andy Comments After the Interview 42:55 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Kayla and her work at KaylaQCareerCoaching.com.

Freddie makes a significant gesture, and Pip receives a helping hand.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the incredible screenwriter, showrunner, producer and dungeon master CRAIG MAZIN!Craig is a self proclaimed Pipster! Which bodes incredibly well as an opening gambit right there... This is such a treat of an episode which anyone possessing an interest in the making of television (and cinema in general) will get an immense kick out of. Chances are you will know Craig from his recent work on The Last Of Us, some of you may go back to the Chernobyl miniseries times, and some even further to the Hangover movies, but none of these can be considered pigeonholes. There is so much in the craft of these projects, and as viewers of them will know - the humanity is undeniable, and that's something that just cannot be faked or phoned-in. So what you hear here is a conversation with someone who makes incredible shows and movies, informed by a love of the work, the people involved, and life in general. To hear that he was once blamed by a critic for being "singularly responsible for degrading Western Civilization" will make absolutely negative sense by the time you've heard this. Oh and stay for the shared Barney story too, cos that rules. Basically - too much to sum up here - just listen and enjoy, it's a classic DPP right here!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBSCRIPTNOTES podcast (book here)THE LAST OF USCHERNOBYLSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Once again I find myself wanting to help and I am yet again without the tools to do so. Moments ago I was prepared to kill these poor souls and now I'm racking my brain trying to think of ways to aid them. Why can't I let this go? Why must you take in every stray you come across? You have a mission. Kill Strahd. Or stop him. A monumentous and impossible task. But let's say it's achievable, will that solve anything? Or will that leave the people of Barovia unknowingly vulnerable? Is he really the unsung protector of these lands? If he is, he's not doing a very good job. Honestly, he spends more time sending out his generals to attack his own populace than providing any sort of protection. Or at least that's what I assume he's been doing. Speaking of generals, I wonder how Pip is going? The man led a small militia, a rag tag group of - I should be paying attention to what's going on, everything has calmed down but the wind is beginning to unnaturally pick up.If you're still wanting to pledge for the Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here!

In this episode Richard Goslan sits down with Pip Hills, the founder of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Pip lost contact with the Society in the 1990s, and didn't rekindle his relationship with the SMWS until Richard tracked him down in 2018. Here the pair reflect on Pip's return to the Society, his health at the age of 85 and how the Society became a force for good with more than 40,000 members across the world.
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Armando Iannucci, originally episode 174 from 2017-10-24.Original writeup below:Responsible for an insane amount of some of the greatest UK comedy since the 90's, including the writing and production of 'The Day Today' which spawned Alan Partridge and the Partridge multiverse, 'The Thick Of It', 'Time Trumpet', and US based 'Veep', Armando is clearly a titan of the game. With his new production 'The Death Of Stalin' (in cinemas NOW!), he's been grinding it out on the media promo run, but is sharp as a katana as he sits down with Pip for a nice long chat covering all the necessary bases and loads more that you'd hope to hear about, including said promo run grind and the madness of it all, especially seeing your own film countless times, being mindful of not using the victims of the subject of his film for comedy and finding that material from many various other sources, social media and how the echo chamber is reinforced and debate is fading, how the film draws parallels with today's US presidency even though it was filmed months before Trump's election win, and how to successfully wrangle an all star cast in order to promote efficiency on set. Tons more obviously but yeah, super entertaining and a must for Armando fans and those who appreciate the craft of writing and production.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI. The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to. Enjoy!A single HR form can decide a lawsuit. We dig into Shear v. Sisters of Charity to show how a mandatory EAP referral and a required compliance-reporting form collided with the Supreme Court's new “some harm” standard from Muldrow v. City of St. Louis—shifting what counts as an adverse employment action under the ADA and Title VII. The story tracks a familiar arc—productivity issues, a performance improvement plan (PIP), and a sudden turn when coworkers report safety concerns—then pivots to a tougher question: when does care become coercion?We walk through the core facts with clarity: the performance improvement plan, the mandatory referral to an outside EAP provider, and the form that would send attendance and treatment compliance back to the employer as a condition of keeping the job. That form becomes the fault line. Under the old “significant change” rule, a court might see the referral as inconvenient but not legally adverse. After Muldro, the bar drops. Non-monetary harms like coerced disclosures and loss of autonomy now qualify if they leave an employee worse off in a tangible way. We also weigh the employer's best defense—policy consistency across employees—and why uniform rules do not automatically defeat a “regarded as disabled” claim when the trigger is a perceived mental health condition.You'll hear practical guidance woven through the analysis. For employers: narrow data collection, separate safety from performance, document objective reasons, and avoid tying privacy waivers to job survival. For employees: understand how “some harm” broadens viable claims, especially around privacy and compelled consent. By the end, you'll see how Muldro reshapes risk around EAP mandates, monitoring, lateral transfers, and other once “minor” actions—and why the Shear case will influence where courts draw the line between genuine concern and unlawful stereotyping.

In dieser Episode des Kassenzone.de Podcasts diskutiere ich mit Pip Klöckner, der kürzlich eine bemerkenswerte Keynote auf der Spryker-Konferenz gehalten hat. Wir beleuchten mehrere seiner Thesen, einige davon bereits für die kommenden Jahre entwickelt, und führen einen spannenden Austausch über aktuelle wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen und Trends. Der Podcast beginnt mit einem Rückblick auf den Handelskrieg zwischen China und den USA, ein Thema, das wir vor einigen Wochen bereits behandelt haben. Wir reflektieren über die Entwicklungen seitdem und diskutieren, inwieweit die USA in dieser Auseinandersetzung die Oberhand gewinnen könnten und ob es für Europa an der Zeit ist, eine unabhängige Position zu China einzunehmen. Pip äußert, dass ein radikales Umschwenken nicht die beste Strategie sei, während ich der Meinung bin, dass eine Öffnung nach Osten durchaus sinnvoll wäre. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs gehen wir auch auf die Situation der Kapitalmärkte ein. Ich teile meine Eindrücke, dass viele Unternehmen derzeit in einer wirtschaftlich herausfordernden Lage sind und betone, dass die große Marktkorrektur oder ein Crash zwar möglich, aber nicht zwingend bevorsteht. Pip gibt mir Recht, stellt jedoch gleichzeitig klar, dass die wirtschaftliche Unsicherheit nicht zu unterschätzen sei. Zudem erörtern wir die Bedeutung von Investitionen in KI und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen, während ich sage, dass diese Investitionen möglicherweise nicht den gewünschten Return bringen werden. Ein weiteres Thema ist die Vorherrschaft der großen US-Tech-Giganten und deren Auswirkungen auf den europäischen Markt. Wir reflektieren die steuerlichen Herausforderungen, die der europäische Raum im Umgang mit amerikanischen Konzernen hat, und diskutieren die Möglichkeit, dass ein starkes europäisches Pendant erforderlich ist, um die Wertschöpfung in Europa zu erhöhen. Pip stellt mögliche Strategien vor, um sich durch bessere Verhandlungspositionen gegenüber amerikanischen Plattformen zu behaupten. Wir sprechen auch über die Fortschritte in der KI-Technologie und deren wirtschaftlichen Nutzen. Ich äußere meine Bedenken bezüglich der Nachhaltigkeit dieser Investitionen in R&D, während Pip der Meinung ist, dass ein Großteil der aktuellen AI-Lösungen, insbesondere die Inferenz, wirtschaftlich tragfähig ist. Es wird deutlich, dass es eine klare Trennung zwischen den Kosten für Forschung und den tatsächlich umsetzbaren Geschäftsfeldern gibt.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip discusses the broad topic of disfluency with journalist CHERRY BURNS!Those of you familiar with Pip's Twitch channel and the community within might well be familiar with Cherry, but if not, all is well as here is your formal introduction! Although their role is two-fold, as guest and interviewer, with Pip as the subject. Today (at time of episode publishing) is Wednesday 22nd October, which is International Stammering Awareness Day. With Pip being a person with a stammer as well as a patron of the organisation Stamma, it would be a missed opportunity to celebrate the event and that is exactly what's going down today! This is a chance for those of you who stammer, as well as those of you who do not, to listen in on a conversation covering a vast amount of points and topics within the greater world of stammering that you might not usually hear. It's a wonderful chance to gain some insight into not only what it is, but how it can come into play in day to day life, the issues that might otherwise go unseen or unheard, but also the added compensatory factors that can kick in as a result. Something that comes up in the chat is about how stammering is not the problem, it's how the world meets the stammer that is the problem, which is a really interesting swing on it all. So please, listen and enjoy, it's a really fun episode and definitely one we can all gain something from, and ultimately celebrate.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Kevin Smith, originally episode 302 from 2019-12-04.Original writeup below:SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES! What a joy this is… While it is a slightly shorter episode, Pip could hardly turn Kevin down now could he…? Exactly. Unthinkable. So sit back and enjoy as Kevin essentially takes the reins with this one! It was expected though, as Kevin has basically found his true North by way of talking and telling stories for a living these days. But that's not to say he's thrown in the towel on films - oh good god no, as you will surely be aware of by the fact that his Jay & Silent Bob Reboot film is out and about and making much noise in the View Askew-niverse. This here is a chance to hear all about that, and the past hits in the Smith catalogue, as well as a gang of talking points including his gratefulness for being able to express himself for a living, the difference between making podcasts and movies, the younger Smith laying the foundations for later on, the power of the Q&A, brushes with death, and tons more but all held together with a true understanding of what he means to his fanbase and the importance of his products.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by legendary writer, journalist, critic and cultural treasure MIRANDA SAWYER!A natural fit in the Distraction Pieces jigsaw, Miranda is someone who was pretty much destined to eventually join Pip for an episode. As a necessary firm fixture in much of the music media of the 90's (and well beyond, of course), Miranda's got decades in the game and is awesomely well versed in basically all of it. The book is 'Uncommon People' which is out now and essential reading for anyone with a passing interest in 90's Britpop, but on top of that you'll hear a good ton of bits and pieces including the recording of podcasts and the importance of them in Miranda's career, an early dabbling in a career in law, working with such publications as Smash Hits / Select / The Face (and more), the broadness of 90's Britpop and how it wasn't sipmply Oasis vs Blur, 'Smashing' club, Tricky being tricky, being a woman into music and the unchecked sexism back then (not that it's gone anywhere), what constitutes a scene, and making a living being a musician or journalist. Super fun but also incredibly relevant, and anything about the past will reveal so much about our present, especially with the hindsight of 25-30 years.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Loren Greiff about how to deal with being told you're overqualified and how to flip the conversation. Loren Greiff is the founder of PortfolioRocket, a career consultancy dedicated to helping executives over 40 break free from outdated job search systems and land roles that match their worth. After being PIP'd (to be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan) at 54 for being “too enthusiastic” at one of the world's top executive search firms, she saw firsthand how the traditional system marginalizes experienced talent. Instead of shrinking, she launched a mission to flip the script—and a business that's now helped over 430 leaders land faster and earn more by doing it differently, not traditionally. Her work unapologetically challenges age bias, toxic hiring practices, and the myth of "playing it safe." At PortfolioRocket, she helps VP-level and above executives reignite their value, stand out in crowded markets, and reclaim control of their careers. In addition to having an active LinkedIn community of followers, and a seat on Fast Company's Executive Board, Loren is the host of the Top 100 Ranking podcast, Career Blast in a Half, where listeners get simple, powerful and actionable career fuel to keep their success track, no matter where they are in their. Loren has been featured in online publications such as Forbes and Business Insider as well as named Top Job Search Strategy Voice and listed as a Top Career Coach by JobScan, three years running.

Technical discussion for last week's report. (00:09:12)2. Sound Signature Review 6.203 – Combat Application Technologies CAT CACM 556 on the standard 10.3-in untuned MK18.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode brings together four papers from the session The Ambridge Family, exploring queerness, grief, education, and money in village life.The Only Gay in the Village? Queer(y)ing Family in Rural Borsetshire - Peter MatthewsThe Archers has long been rooted in the heteronormative nuclear family, with drama created when norms are broken. This paper explores how the show “queers” family life: from Adam and Ian's surrogacy with Lexi and Adam's relationships with Pawel and Charlie, to Helen choosing to have a child outside heterosexual partnership.It also considers how the housing crisis forces new family forms and how the intimacy of the programme allows negotiations of gender roles, such as Harrison reducing his hours while Fallon works more – and, of course, Pip and Stella.About the speakerProfessor Peter Matthews is Professor of Social Policy at the University of Stirling. His research focuses on equality, diversity and social justice.A Tractor and Family Overturned: The Death of John Archer and Its Ongoing Implications - Deborah Miller and Meg BurtonJohn Archer's death continues to reverberate through Bridge Farm. This paper explores how the loss of an adult child affects surviving parents and siblings, focusing on Helen and Tom.It considers how the tragedy changed their roles and shaped their self-esteem, drawing on grief theory, developmental psychology, and the risks of PTSD. Helen's behaviours and Tom's drive to ‘replace' his brother reveal how this event still haunts Ambridge.About the speakersDeborah Miller has a professional background in health and local government, and has presented multiple Academic Archers papers.Meg Burton brings both personal and professional perspectives to grief, trauma, and family life in Ambridge.Mia and Brad Are Doing Four A Levels: Will Widening Participation in Higher Education Finally Hit Ambridge? - Janette MyersUniversity has been rare, and fraught, for Ambridge residents. This paper asks whether Mia and Brad might break new ground, tracking educational life chances in the village and comparing them with national patterns.It also considers whether informal learning – such as Tracy's discovery of Lark Rise to Candleford – or Borchester College might shift opportunities, and what this says about class, aspiration and higher education.About the speakerDr Janette Myers is an Open University academic specialising in widening participation. She has listened to The Archers for over 45 years.Ant to come next week, though it was part of this session - Looking After the Penny Hassets So the Pounds Look After Themselves - Katherine Jennings and Vikki Barry BrownMoney is everywhere in Ambridge, but rarely spoken of openly. This paper explores how financial norms, taboos and silences mirror English cultural attitudes.From inherited wealth to debt, employment to entrepreneurship, money shapes status and relationships. Themes of shame, aspiration and social standing reveal how the programme presents financial lives to its audience.About the speakersVikki Barry Brown leads qualitative research at behavioural science consultancy CogCo and is completing her PhD in Human Geography at Queen Mary University of London.Katherine Jennings is Director of the Talking Taboos Foundation and a social researcher with Common Collective, focusing on taboo issues and behaviour change.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Aca
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by podcaster, author, musician and all round lovely human ADAM BUXTON!A home run of an episode right here as Pip checks in with original podcast homie Adam on all things! And it really is all things, but most pertinent at this moment in time is Adam's new album of full song material 'Buckle Up' - something he's been hinting at for ages on his own podcast (and we all hoped for, on the strength of the jingles), and now has its own home on Decca Records no less. A lot of lovely behind the scenes action on that, but Pip and Adam also check in on such items as the act of sharing with guests on a podcast, Werner Herzog's Zoom odyssey, clashes of guest bookings and the hierarchy of talent, the Clipse parallel, losing loved ones and authoring books, to honest or not to honest, taking people up on help offers, sitting with things and not avoiding them, major label biz, the genesis of songs (not the songs of Genesis), being the right side of annoying and playing your own music for folks. So much goodness and gems and all sorts on here, you're in the company of the pro's with this one - sit back and relax and enjoy. We love you.

Today, we catch up with Spike Lee, originally episode 225 from 2018-08-24.Original writeup below:While Spike is getting his promotion grind on for his new film BlacKkKlansman (which you should make efforts to see as it's just been released in the UK), he fit in some Pip time which is perfect as you know Pip is quite the cinephile!

Send us a textWhen people talk about the most successful writers of all time, one name is almost always among the first: J. K. Rowling. The author of the Harry Potter series didn't just sell books — she created a cultural earthquake. For millions of readers, Hogwarts was not a fictional castle, but a place they knew as well as their own schools. Her novels inspired midnight release parties at bookstores, fan conventions that filled stadiums, and a cinematic franchise that grossed billions. Children who had never finished a book before suddenly tore through six- and seven-hundred-page volumes. Adults, too, found themselves sneaking the books into briefcases or pretending they were buying them for their kids. “But Rowling's brilliance didn't appear out of nowhere. She was inspired by the masters who came before her, most notably Charles Dickens. In Dickens, she found a model for eccentric characters, worlds that felt alive, and the courage to confront cruelty — especially towards children. Much like Pip, Oliver, or the young heroes of Dickens' novels, Harry and his friends navigate a world that can be frightening, unfair, and full of moral complexity.”Rowling herself has acknowledged Dickens as a major influence, and it's easy to see why. Dickens' novels often center on children navigating worlds that are harsh, unfair, and sometimes cruel — think of the orphaned Pip in Great Expectations or Oliver Twist in Oliver Twist. Similarly, Rowling's young protagonists face dangerous and sometimes frightening circumstances: orphaned Harry navigating a neglectful household, children confronting magical and moral threats, and characters whose lives are shaped by the indifference or cruelty of adults.Rowling also mirrors Dickens in her love for eccentric and vividly drawn characters. From the strangely named and larger-than-life figures in Dickens' novels to the magical teachers, ghostly ancestors, and quirky classmates at Hogwarts, Rowling populates her books with personalities so distinct they feel almost tangible. Each character, no matter how minor, contributes to the richness of the world, giving readers a sense that they are peeking into a fully realized society.Cover art:Image of J.K.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the bold and awesome director JUSTIN TIPPING!Maybe here and there you've heard rumblings not unlike the ones Pip cites up top on the intro, but in a time when creativity can even be treated and regarded as a rebellious and awesomely unique act, you can also take said rumblings with a pinch of salt and just engage in some powerful cinematic moments. This could be the suggested move with Him, Justin's new movie made with Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions, which sounds like a very beautiful piece of thrilling sport-centred action.Expect to hear Justin touch on such menu items as being cautious of dropping the ball (pun intended) with Monkeypaw, the consideration of budgets, how different the reception is to his other projects and the undertones within some of those (many lines in which to read between...), the importance of visual style, lookbooks, intesive training for everyone's sake (including SFX), and working with comic actors. So much in not a huge amount of time. A wonderful chat - forget the noise out there, just jump in for heck's sake.

This week, Tim is back with Pip hosting as we look at the college football season so far, Tim tries a British accent, and Pip wonders how things have gone so badly thus far in fantasy, plus do we have a title matchup preview on the schedule?
This week on Screw It Just DO It I sit down with Pip Murray, the founder of Pip & Nut, the UK's fastest-growing natural nut butter brand. Pip's story starts with a marathon training run that sparked an idea for a better product, free from palm oil. That idea turned into Pip & Nut, now stocked in over 8,000 stores and recently crowned the number one nut butter brand in the UK.We cover how Pip went from working at the Science Museum to living rent-free in a shed after winning the Escape the City competition, raising £120,000 through crowdfunding, and navigating the early challenges of scaling a food and drink brand. We also talk about resilience, culture, and why purpose and sustainability matter more than ever when building a business today.This is a raw and honest look at the realities of entrepreneurship: the pressure of being a solo founder, the importance of consumer feedback, and how to hold onto a challenger mindset even after hitting scale. If you're looking for lessons on leadership, funding, branding, and staying resilient in competitive markets, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysHow Pip used crowdfunding and guerrilla marketing to launch Pip & NutThe value of challenger brand thinking in crowded FMCG marketsWhy sustainability, B Corp certification, and purpose strengthen brand loyaltyThe leadership challenges of moving from startup to scale-upHow resilience in business mirrors the mindset needed to run marathons
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the wonderful multi talent CHRISTOPHER CHUNG!An ultra inspiring chat featuring the insanely talented Christopher, in a catchup with Pip which goes all across the timeline from the wayback early days to what's coming ahead. He's had a full on action packed journey from his origins in Australia to where he currently finds himself, and there are tons of points where forks in the road presented themselves and could have led to an entirely different life. Thankfull he stayed on track and we all now have some amazing work as a result! From early day singing, making his was to the UK via acting, working alongside national treasure Gary Oldman (and Kathy Burke at one point), meeting his wife in a stage production, playing against 'nerd' stereotypes and so much more, this is one for the appreciators but if you have never seen or heard Christopher before, this will 100% kickstart your new appreciation.SPOILER-ISH SLOW HORSES chat around 37 minutes in if you've just started - a couple of references to seasons 2 and 4, just so you know.

Yeah that sounds fine to me… But yeah, everything from then to now, including what they are doing THIS VERY MOMENT, and by that of course I mean starring in the simultaneously hilariously funny and brutally honest Feel Good, which looks set to blow up worldwide. So expect to hear it all from how to view the series (best served binged), the weirdness of editing trailers, getting the correct audience, Canada (Oh Canada), the process of getting a set together, Mae the character and Mae the person, sex scenes and writing a proudly LGBT show, humanising addition, the casting process, digging deep into personal history and the transition from Canada to London but SO MUCH MORE of course.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the Hardcore Listing homie and everyday life homie CHRIS GLASSEN!You might have heard the pre-show shouts from Pip over the past few weeks, regarding a tie-in with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). CALM are trying to raise funds to maintain their literally life-saving service, a service which aims to help people end misery, not their lives. You'll likely have heard Pip and Chris refer to their dearly departed friend Jay, a friend whose legacy lives on and - as you'll always hear - is celebrated in the spirit of the relationship Pip and Chris (and Stu) have. Fun, mischievous, but built on a foundation of love and admiration.With the 'Staylists' which you might have heard before some episodes lately, the aim is to present various awesome things that are basically worth staying around for. You're listening to a podcast hosted by someone who has dedicated his life to arts and culture, and so it makes sense that these elements are immensely important to the daily processing of life and what it brings. The heavy times, the lighter moments, all of it. So here, Pip and Chris deliver a powerful setlist of cool things that Jay would have loved over the past 20+ years he hasn't been here.This isn't something you get on every podcast, this is a unique blend of two people combing through fun and funny times, grief, emotion, and all the while involving us all in the convo while also giving us some solid recommendations. If it isn't clear in the above, it is a very fun episode! Just good to know what the background is before you jump in. If you're not in a zone right now for references to grief and death, we've got back catalogue for days - and if you're affected personally by these issues, hit up CALM, and Samaritans are also right there if you need them.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Can you coach self-awareness? I manage someone who seems to believe their skill set is on par with their teammates, regardless of their constant PR feedback regarding the same issues over and over, the extra attention they are regularly given to help them overcome coding challenges, and the PIP they are currently on to address these issues (and others). What are some approaches I could take to help steer them to better understand their areas for growth when explicit measures don't seem to get through? I work at a small 10-person startup. The company has absolutely nothing to do with AI, but one of the founders has gone full evangelist. He genuinely believes AGI is arriving this year and that there isn't a single job, task, or process where an LLM isn't the obvious tool.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Karl Pilkington, originally episode 306 from 2020-01-08.Original writeup below:While some see Karl as the grumpy one of the original podcast trio consisting of him, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, as you will hear in this podcast right here - it wasn't necessarily grumpiness. Nor was it disinterest. Karl was looking through the world through a different prism, and certainly a prism of which we should all have a go at experiencing. It's really nice hearing him get around ideas at leisure and with Pip (and us) as a sounding board, and definitely a really cool way of sharing the worldview of one of the more fascinating characters in the cast of podcasts, series and media in general. The two get into it all, from the origins of podcasting (kind of beginning with the Gervais one of course), to his thoughts on the promo run, to confidence, last minute tinkering, being a fan of real life and the fine line between that and comedy, ponderings on having children, the XFM days, being rubbed the wrong way by Ricky, his genuine curiosity, working on Derek, people being over familiar and a charming spider story to round it off.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the legendary comic MARK STEEL!It's entirely likely you'll have been listening to and watching the work of Mark for decades now - he's been hard at work for a minute, and the fanbase is strong indeed. As you'll hear, Pip's been on board for years, starting with the Mark Steel Lectures. Here we have a really lovely catchup with these two as Mark leads the way through his past and present, and as with so much in life, it's a potent mix of all angles.

On that note, it could be advised that Mark doesn't hold back on some details (neither should he), so just mentioning that for those who might appreciate the alert. But it's also pretty incredible that not only do we get to hear about what happened in the past tense, we get to hear it through Mark himself, as even talking as a way of communicating was a difficult thing to weave around. All that said - he is a comic, so there's a huge amount of fun and laughter and the whole episode is a real joy (and TONS of random facts.
