Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
Joining the podcast this week is another fabulous acting favourite, yes indeed it is AMANDA ABBINGTON!
Due to one thing or another, schedules have been flipped, turned upside down, but Pip and Amanda have managed to crowbar in some good time to get together and rock a truly fine podcast for you all. Amanda’s been in a LOT of good things over the past, namely Man Stroke Woman, Safe, Sherlock, and much more - in this hour, she and Pip go into a ton including her Hertfordshire early days, nature and how it particularly played into the past year, growing up in happy and not so happy times, her fearless mum, Underdogs and their work with kids and dogs (and the importance of rescue dogs), casting and agents, television vs film, her road to where she is now and all kinds of easter eggs within. Excellent stuff, enjoy!
