Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 235 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A celebration of good, honest home cooking right here this week as Pip is joined by the marvellous chef and author GIZZI ERSKINE!
Absolutely great from the beginning, this chat with Gizzi is a full on entertaining and buzzy one with so much packed into the hour-ish run time! You wouldn’t have known she was hungover if she hadn’t have mentioned it, as she rattles through so many entertaining and interesting talking points about her own life and all things cookery, ranging from her Paddington beginnings, growing up in an aristocratic but less than well-off family with not a ton of parental guidance, her bodypiercing route and how she could have even gone on a completely art-based route, the death of her father in her early years but how she never used this as an excuse for going off the rails temporarily as a young’un, being ADHD but locking in and focusing, how she operates with such a busy brain, being her mum’s cookery sidekick and how traveling broadened her culinary palate, her family’s spiritual side, ill-informed people giving advice on social media, the demonisation of eating habits, body image and shaming, her entirely reasonable snubbing of the GQ awards and cooking technique over speed. How this much was crammed into a pretty short chat is a miracle but it’s just gripping throughout. Enjoy your time in Gizzi’s amazing world!
• QUICK NOTE! I mentioned it in the intro but the episode is a touch on the reverby side. The environment was more reflective than originally realised, but your ears do adjust and you can hear everything - just a little warning that's all in case you notice a strange quality to the sound! I cleaned it up as far as I could but any more would have made it hard to listen to. Thanks Team 3W! --- Buddy Peace

| 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 distraction |
| 1:18.4 | piece of podcast episode 235. How are you doing guys? How many of you are listening on Spotify? |
| 1:26.8 | Hit me up and let me know because it was a big deal. We had to slug things out there. We had to go to |
| 1:33.2 | do some rounds to make that all work and to get on there in a way that I felt was fair. |
| 1:39.0 | Something lighter to be on there and I'm excited to see the impact it might have on the spreading |
| 1:43.6 | of the podcast because it is somewhere where you can just kind of sling things around quite easily. |
| 1:50.0 | Yeah, I'm buzzing for that. But this week's guest, equally, I'm buzzing for, it's the wonderful |
| 1:55.1 | Gizzy Erskine. Really good conversation this. We went on all sorts of tangents. We got into some |
| 2:04.4 | stuff from her upbringing that isn't kind of public knowledge. I really liked it when we got onto |
| 2:13.8 | some body image stuff. She speaks eloquently and wonderfully on that and openly on that. So yeah, |
| 2:21.1 | it's a great one. I should mention if you enjoy this one, I mean, I've not yet any other |
