Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by comic, author and actor BRIDGET CHRISTIE!
A really lovely chat and catch up (and missing piece of the long-term Distraction Pieces puzzle) with Pip and Bridget, which comes at a perfect time in sync with Bridget's new series on Channel 4 'The Change'. You'll hear all about the amazing process of getting it off the ground and what else is involved in getting pitches picked and developed (it's a side of the industry which is by no means an easy world), but in hearing about The Change you'll also get a perfect insight into the greater universe of Bridget and where she's at currently. It's all a perfect confluence and meeting of a lot of experience, life and timing, and the timing is all pretty much perfect it seems. Enjoy this awesome and very inspiring conversation and do not miss The Change on Channel 4!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the destruction pieces podcast episode 518 and I'm crazy excited about this one. |
| 0:09.0 | We discussed right at the end how mad it is that this guest hasn't been on before because we've got so many mutual friends. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm a huge fan. It's Bridget Christie and we have a wonderful chat. It seemed like perfect timing because Bridget, I mean, basically, sorry if you're just tuning for the first time, |
| 0:29.0 | I've got a stammer. Basically, Bridget's new show, the change is on TV tonight and I call Bridget at the end of a day of PR, which can often mean you're getting someone who's a bit down temp her, a bit worn out by all. |
| 0:41.0 | And she was beaming and buzzing about a new show, about a tour, about everything. So yeah, it was perfect timing. |
| 0:50.0 | I'll say once again, the change is on tonight on on channel four, which is hugely exciting. Also on Sunday, July 9th at the Open Air Theatre Regents Park, you can go and see Bridget Christie and friends. |
| 1:07.0 | We talk about that a little bit, but then we also talk about Bridget's fringe run. So it's going to be at the Edinburgh fringe and then doing a wonderful exciting tour. |
| 1:19.0 | So at the fringe from the second until the 10th and then in September, he's hitting made stone Oxford, Brighton, Swindon. What is that place? |
| 1:30.0 | Lonston. Lonston. Is that a place? Lonston. Anyone who's tuning in from Lonston? Lonston? It's probably Lonston, isn't it? Lonston? Anyone tuning in? This is now a podcast all about Lonston. We're not going to get to the chat. |
| 1:47.0 | Anyone tuning in from Lonston? I can holler at your boy and tell me how to pronounce your town. Anyway, after the trauma of going to Lonston and having to say Lonston, then risk times. Bridget's continuing on to Plymouth, Turkey, Exeter, Cardiff. |
| 2:04.0 | Is that why can't I say any names of places? Is Worcester? Is that Worcester? W-O-R-C-E-S-T-R? Is that just Worcester? It is, isn't it? I'm just tired. Hey, Fever's hitting me really bad this year, guys. It's getting me in a mess. |
| 2:19.0 | I love white, red in Portsmouth. No, I know that one. Bangor, Aberystwyth, and somewhere called Stratford. God, this is the worst advert for Bridget's Tour ever. Sorry about that, but it's going to be really good and it's going to be really exciting. |
| 2:39.0 | While I've got you here, I wrote some spoken word for a new song and short film produced by Steve McQueen for Greenpeace, starring Will Poulter. |
| 2:53.0 | And it's called Don't Stop. And there's some spoken word at the end of it. It's a reimagining of the Fleetwood Mac classic. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow and so on. |
| 3:03.0 | And it's really good. The MC, they've got on it, it's amazing. The bands, the production, everything's amazing and the film's amazing. |
| 3:11.0 | So check that out on Greenpeace's Instagram or on their YouTube. As you hear this, they're going to be performing it live at Glastonbury. It's going to be a two-minute version on screens at Glaston. So yeah, it's pretty cool. |
| 3:25.0 | And it's really just drilling home how we have to stop the party and stop the people who are the last people dancing at the party and kind of figure out our strategy. Anyway, there's loads more information in Greenpeace stuff on their website and stuff. |
| 3:40.0 | Again, I just can't speak today. Hey, fever. I'm telling you, it's a hell of a thing. We're bought you as ever by speech available. Reckles.com. We've got a few of the dark summer. We may not be for you and that's fine. Sunglasses left. |
| 3:53.0 | We've got a few of the swimming costumes left, which I didn't realize. I thought they'd sold out, but we found a few. We've got all sorts of stuff over there. Head over. Get your summer goods at speech available. Reckles.com. |
| 4:06.0 | 90% of the stuff is on reduction steel because we reduced the price of everything as soon as the cost of living crisis came in. |
| 4:14.0 | Also, every time you order something from there, we plant a tree for you. So there's some good reasons to go and get all this stuff. But if you don't need it, don't get it. |
| 4:25.0 | You can also head to patreon.com for a slash Scroobius pip to support the podcast for like a dollar a month. That helps pay body piece and John Harris and Jared and all the people kind of behind the scenes and twitch.tv for a slash Scroobius pip. |
