The post Scroobius Pip’s current top podcast recommendations! appeared first on POD BIBLE.
]]>My name is Scroobius Pip and I’m a full-time podcast listener. Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.
Here Comes The Guillotine
Each week Frankie Boyle, Susan McCabe & Christopher MacArthur-Boyd attempt to talk about what’s been going on in their worlds and the wider world, but more often than not just end up talking about stuff I can’t in good conscience commit to text in this set of recommendations.
Either way, this is consistently the first thing on my listen list when a new episode drops.
For better or for worse… Listen here >>
Three Bean Salad
Three Bean Salad* is a podcast I’ve had recommended to me for YEARS but, for some reason, only got round to listening to this year. And boy was it worth the wait.
Well, to be specific, boy was Henry Paker worth the wait. I hadn’t come across Henry until Three Bean Salad and I am now, to be blunt, obsessed.
But that’s not to downplay the joy brought to me by the other two hosts, Mike Wozniak and Benjamin Partridge. Listen here >>
*For more information on Three Bean Salad, check out Suchandrika Chakrabarti’s guide on where to start with the podcast!
Lucy & Sam’s Perfect Brains
Having adored hosts Lucy Beaumont and Sam Campbell on Taskmaster I came into this podcast with an open mind. But seemingly not as open a mind as Lucy and Sam as I couldn’t have predicted the avenues and alleys of thought that would be explored by these glorious minds.
Throwing in guests like Tim Key, John Kearns and seemingly any random person Lucy has ever met… and your ears have a hell of a ride in store.
Be warned: it also features the most inexplicable but catchy theme tune in the podcasting world today. Listen here >>
Got A Problem Mate?
Each week Got a Problem Mate* (or GAPM if you’re nasty) sees comedians Joey Page and Bilal Zafar solve their own problems, their guests problems and the problems of their listeners.
Do they ACTUALLY solve many of the problems in any functional manner?
No.
Do they actually tend to add to the problems?
Sure.
Is it a joy of a listen?
YOU TELL ME, PAL. Listen here >>

Come Curious
Press play on Come Curious and things will get personal and intimate QUICKLY.
Hosts Florence Bark and Reed Amber have been at the forefront of sex positivity and open discussion and exploration of sexuality for around a decade now and they have the ability to make socially uncomfortable subjects seem like every day discussion points (as they probably should be).
Whether they’re being joined by an array of sexperts and sex workers or simply talking amongst themselves, it’s always an eye opening and positive experience. Listen here >>

]]>They kept it hidden from everyone, but of course I wanted to know more as soon as I found out…
Pod Bible: Can you start by telling us who are you and what…just kidding!
Pip: We are podcast legends! Kidding… it’s a valid question. I’m Scroobius Pip, host of the Distraction Pieces Podcast and part of the Pod Bible crew.
Stu: I’m Stu Whiffen and I’m the host of the Off The Beat And Track Podcast and friend of Pip.
Scroobious Pip
What’s you’re elevator pitch for the new show?
Pip: My first question would be “do you know who I am?”. Basically the podcast is Stu asking me about specific parts of my life and career with each episode being dedicated to a different one. You don’t really have to know who I am though.
Subjects in series 1 include universally relatable stuff like School Days and living through your parents divorce, alongside more career stories like Touring the world playing music and moving into acting.
Stu: It’s a really lovely and often poignant long form interview with Pip who happens to be a good mate so the chat feels well connected and relaxed and the subjects chosen for each episode means the chat moves away from just Pips experiences to the wider conversation on the discussion in hand.
How long have you been working on this secretly? (And how do you both have time to do this??)
Pip: Well we wanted to get the first series in the bag before announcing anything to make sure it’s actually interesting. And, good news, it feels like it really is! So it’s been about 6 months in the making but we are excited it get it out there.
Stu: Well I had to do this thing called “prep” which I’m told podcasters often do which was a new experience so having the time to do that and no urgency to get the series over the line has definitely enabled us to create a really insightful and lovely series.
Stu Whiffen
Where did the idea come from?
Pip: I basically got asked a few times if I would be interested in writing an autobiography… and there’s nothing I’d enjoy doing less… haha. But chatting to a pal about the past? That’s a bloody joy and hopefully a very enjoyable podcast.
Stu: Pip’s relentless self absorbed chanting from the rooftops to all in earshot really had to harnessed and kicked into shape and it’s been a dirty job but someone had to do it.
Finish this sentence: “You should listen to our new podcast if you like…”
Pip: Scroobius Pip and Scroobius Pip adjacent things.
Stu: To hear a nice open, honest and friendly natter between two friends, one of which has had a really fascinating journey to date full of great stories, and the other a former rapper, podcaster and now an actor.
