Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the legendary actor and director ALEX WINTER!
As you will of course know, Alex was Keanu's co-star in the Bill & Ted series which is something he does not shy away from, but there is a whole lifetime of being a fully rounded person since then. As you will hear here, he is all about the work but more importantly all about the human side of life and being a person first. From his UK history, to directing and all sorts of process-based goodies, to reuniting with Keanu for Waiting For Godot, to what the future holds, Alex is a very interesting dude which - if you didn't already know - you will find out without shadow of doubt throughout this awesome episode. One for the books!
