Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by friends of the podcast and friends in life MUSA OKWONGA and POLARBEAR! Part 1 of 2!
Otherwise known as the 'elevated' Drunkcast with 100% less rowdiness and very little if any drunkenness! So an entirely respectful affair all in all (shoutouts and love of course to Chris and Stu as always). It's a rare occasion for this formation to come together too, as Musa is an incredibly busy writer/performer/podcaster, and Polar is perpetually busy with the words and the page. What happens though is a beautifully cordial, jovial, inspiring and really warm catchup between folks who have a lot of love for each other but a love which radiates outwards to us too. You'll notice it and feel it. And while tough topics come up - not least involving where Musa lives and the environment cooking there - it is all met with that said outward gaze and a communal outlook. A perfect listen not only for this time of year, but for this time in the world. A lush mix of local and global happening throughout - the small acts of kindness which spread out, that kind of vibe. Oh and on the subject of vibes - let's all just crown Polar the Vibemaster General, while we're at it. ENJOY - part 2 coming shortly!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 650. And what a conversation I've got for you here. |
| 0:09.8 | Me, Polar Bear and Musa did this a good five years ago, I think. But we did a Christmas drinks recording and I've been wanting to do another one for quite some time. |
| 0:21.4 | If you're not aware, Polar Bear and Musa Okwonga are two of my favourite humans. |
| 0:26.0 | I know them from the spoken word scene. |
| 0:28.4 | I love them dearly. |
| 0:29.8 | And they're lovely. |
| 0:30.6 | It's just, I mean, they're so good to catch up with. |
| 0:34.2 | And this year, Stu, Stu Whiffin, of drunk drunk cast fame has been just swamped. So we've not |
| 0:40.3 | been able to get a drunk cast in. The man's a busy man and that's absolutely fair. |
| 0:45.0 | Me and Chris talked about doing like a two-person drunk cast, but it felt wrong. So maybe we'll |
| 0:51.7 | get one in in the new year. But boy, have I got some alternatives for you. So |
| 0:56.4 | this right here is part one of just a conversation that's swooping in at the end of the year |
| 1:02.8 | to potentially take the throne as the best podcast episode of the year. This is a two-parter, |
| 1:09.3 | as said, with Musa Okwanga and Polar Bear. And next week, |
| 1:14.7 | I've got a two-part kind of end of year roundup with Joe Talbot of idols and Grace Neutral. |
| 1:21.4 | So we've got some amazing conversations for you. While most people take the festive period off, |
| 1:26.7 | we've got four episodes for |
| 1:28.4 | you over this festive period to get you through. And if you haven't already checked out the TV |
| 1:34.2 | of the year episode, go back and listen to that with John and Joel last week. We brought you as |
| 1:40.3 | ever by Speech Development Records.com. It's too late to order anything from there for Christmas. |
| 1:45.3 | It's blooming Christmas Eve. What were you thinking? But you can still buy some, you can still |
| 1:49.4 | treat yourself to anything you don't get for Christmas. You can also support the podcast by going |
