Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 287 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! What a treat this week, as Pip is joined for the triumphant return of the UK’s folk punk legend FRANK TURNER!
…and about time too, as it’s been over 250 episodes since they last had a proper chat! As you can hear, the gap immediately disappears as they pick up effortlessly and gain quick ground about what’s been happening in their lives in the interim. Expect to hear all about the Frank Turner years, moving with ease through such topics as the parallels of touring and wedding organisation, the effects of extensive touring on a person’s life, the blowout cycle and mental health, tour PTSD and habit forming, the perils of talking about fame while being very self aware, cultural satnav and tour hacks, “grebos”, the plus side of the internet in terms of hunting for music, gateway bands, festival thoughts, the punk and non-punk ethos of opening for anyone, and most importantly - his 8TH SOLO ALBUM! With that comes his newfound respect for podcasters, the issue of a man writing about women and then where the path goes from here. PACKED AND AWESOME is what it is. You enjoy yerself!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is episode 287 of the distraction pieces podcast. |
| 0:06.4 | And thanks for tuning in guys. I'm joined today by Frank Turner, another returning guest. |
| 0:12.8 | I don't have loads of them. I do keep them. I do have returns kept sparingly. |
| 0:19.5 | Sarah Pasco returned recently. It's one of the best chats that we've had. So that was, |
| 0:24.3 | that was a great one, but Frank was a perfect fit. I'll keep the intro brief as ever. I'll talk |
| 0:30.9 | more in the outro. I've got some things to tell you guys about. One thing is that there's going to be |
| 0:37.3 | a giveaway on the podcast starting next week of some signed copies of my distraction pieces book. |
| 0:42.4 | But I'll tell you about that later. Frank was previously on the podcast like four years ago. |
| 0:47.8 | So it felt high time he returned and it was all kind of around his new album and his new podcast, |
| 0:54.2 | which we talk about loads. So I won't go into it much now. I'll just tell you if you enjoyed |
| 1:01.2 | this one, you might want to go back and listen to the Billy Bragg episode. The first Frank Turner |
| 1:05.5 | episode, Beans on Toast has been on all sorts of good people, other musicians. I had a surge |
| 1:14.6 | percent, I know of of of of Kassabi and recently. And I've had loads of great musicians over the |
| 1:22.6 | years. Wes Bawland comes to mind. Yeah. Go and have a listen, enjoy them all. And I'll chat at the |
| 1:30.8 | end. Obviously, as ever, I'm recording a lot of podcasts at the moment. If you want to kind of |
| 1:35.6 | get a preview of who's up and coming, I post a picture after everyone that I've recalled |
| 1:41.1 | over at patreon.com. So I screw up this paper. It's a dollar a month when you get a monthly |
| 1:46.5 | piece of spoken word recorded up there specifically for Patreon, Distraction Pieces, |
| 1:50.3 | Rewires, loads of other stuff. As ever, we got speech development records.com. But you know about that. |
| 1:55.3 | And me and Frank will talk about the kind of life of independent musicians and the hustle. And |
| 2:02.0 | that's kind of why I send people to speech development records.com every episode. But yeah, |
| 2:07.9 | I'll leave that now. This is Frank Turner returning the return of the Turner on the Distraction |
