Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 229 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! You are gonna love this one, maybe as much as Pip did recording it - ladies and gentlemen, this week’s guest is the incredible bionic arm queen Angel Giuffria!
So much goodness contained in one episode, it’s hard to know where to begin… You may have seen Angel in Hunger Games, or maybe Goliath, or caught some of the SXSW action she was recently involved in, but either way - know her or not - you will enjoy this chance to get further acquainted with her as she drops gem after gem with ease! A self identified cyborg, she is the youngest in the world to wear a muscle powered arm, and you’ll get to hear everything from her “You’re different, that’s awesome!” Mum (which might have led to issues with other pupils), how not having an arm in the first place meant that she never felt like needed to ‘get back’ to having one, the world not being designed for differently limbed people, disability rankings, the ongoing conflict of actors playing roles of disabled people, how disabled people are the only remaining minority group it’s ‘acceptable’ to dress up as, the SXSW controversy (the loose end at the start gets tied up, don’t worry!), tough calls in casting and auditions, a fascinating breakdown of how her incredible bionic limb system works, insurance and how tough it can be to actually obtain an arm, and just EVER SO MUCH more. Seriously, it would just be a list of spoilers here if I went on. So please enjoy this wonderful insight into the world of a differently limbed and incredibly awesome person - get to love ANGEL GIUFFRIA!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 229 |
| 0:06.8 | and this is an episode I've been hyping for a bit as it's one of my favourite ones I've recorded. |
| 0:13.6 | My guest this week is Angel Jifria and it's a fantastic one. You may not be aware of Angel |
| 0:21.6 | at present but by the end of this you're going to be very aware and absolutely blown away |
| 0:27.4 | as she reveals that how she lives with a robotic arm and why she identifies as a cyborg in fact but |
| 0:36.0 | I'm kind of going to let her explain it all rather than ramble on too much here but I do have |
| 0:43.2 | plenty else to ramble about fear not. As many of you know I launched a Patreon for me and for the |
| 0:50.4 | podcast last a couple of weeks ago and anyone who's joined is only ATP or $1 or I don't have any |
| 0:57.9 | other tears. I've now learnt you can put more if you want which has been absolutely lovely because |
| 1:03.1 | loads of people have but it's that much per month and last week I did a whole week only using |
| 1:09.6 | the Patreon so I didn't use Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. I'm back on all of them now it's okay |
| 1:17.2 | but it was kind of fascinating because I did it as a partly as a promotional thing initially |
| 1:22.5 | obviously and partly to kind of get my head around what Patreon was and I was surprised at how |
| 1:28.1 | much I enjoyed it because yeah it was weird I'll tell you the things I did on there and you can |
| 1:34.2 | still join now and look I revealed because last week I recorded four podcasts of my own and |
| 1:41.2 | guested on two other podcasts and I went to a screening and an audition and I had two meetings |
| 1:47.8 | so it was a hectic week six podcasts to two meetings of screening and an audition but what I did |
| 1:55.5 | was I kind of used the Patreon as a bit of a diary so I posted pictures of every of the new podcast |
| 2:02.0 | guests that to come and these these won't be out or announced for until they come out in general |
| 2:08.4 | so you can go on there and look at that I also did a Q&A which was a really good fun but |
| 2:14.4 | the thing that I found different about it and I've done a post about it on on social media since |
| 2:20.5 | I've come back but it felt really relaxed and personal and nice because it's about four or |
