Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by doctor and musician NISHANT JOSHI!
You might fancy including 'whistleblower' in that description too but only if you use it in the appropriate manner okay? Dr Nishant has been a busy person in ever so many ways since the pandemic began around a quarter of a decade ago (to give it that sense of close history), being a doctor on the frontline during one of the biggest health emergencies of our lifetimes. Included in that busy-ness though is how he drew attention to a PPE issue in the healthcare system, which in turn brough on its own worries, gaslighting, doublespeak, intimidation and just plain strangeness - it was a rough time but a period which ultimately led to some hugely important changes along the way. You'll hear all about it, but also Nishant touches on his punk music interests and band work, alongside being a parent too. So much going on - join Pip and Dr Nishant for a thorough recounting!

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the |
| 1:18.4 | distraction pieces podcast episode 516. God, that's a lot. And we've got a hell of a good one for |
| 1:25.6 | you today. This is a really interesting one because this is one that I almost turned down. |
| 1:30.5 | And then we got like five minutes into recording and I'm so pleased I didn't. |
| 1:36.2 | Let me explain a little bit. I'm swamped at the moment. Doing a weekly podcast isn't easy, |
| 1:41.8 | like when you're busy. So in really busy periods, I'll kind of go for guests who I have a no-well |
| 1:50.3 | like personally or I'm very knowledgeable on already just because it reduces the amount of |
| 1:56.0 | research time. But this one came to me from my mate Molly and I think Molly's great. So I was like, |
| 2:04.8 | okay, let's give this a look. And again, I almost said, look, I'm going to Spain and I'm going to |
| 2:09.8 | France. I can't fit this in, but I said, look, if we can squeeze it in, let's make it work. |
| 2:15.9 | To be honest, as soon as I started doing the research, I realized it was a good choice. |
