Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the absolute superstar of screens of all sizes IZUKA HOYLE!
A super delightful pick-me-up of an episode, featuring a true action star but someone who is infinitely capable of delivering whatever the role requires. Izuka and Pip share many mutual friends and this is where the chat excels, as through the miracle of telephone technology (okay let's walk that back a bit - two voice messages), we get to travel down a new portal in the conversation which is a lovely little distraction. Elsewhere though, of course we get to hear about all things stunt and action through 'Prisoner' and what that brought to the table, being handcuffed to a scene partner (and the important of chemistry in such a scenario), working on Jack Rooke's 'Big Boys', and how the whole acting world was approached and landed upon. Awesome stuff – enrich your week's listening!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 670. And my guest today, |
| 0:07.3 | as I teased last week, I'm putting it out there, is the best dressed person I've had on the |
| 0:12.4 | distraction pieces podcast. The little photo you will have seen on Instagram, I mean, the Polaroid |
| 0:17.9 | that you'll see on the episode itself does not do the fit and the look justice. |
| 0:22.5 | The picture I will have posted on Instagram, yeah, that's getting closer. |
| 0:26.8 | We're getting a better representation. |
| 0:28.7 | I sent that picture to a mutual friend Jack Rook, and he was respectfully drooling over his friends. |
| 0:35.9 | But I'm joined to, I mean, I should say once again, |
| 0:39.0 | BAFTA award winning Jack Rook. I'm joined today by Azuka Hoyle. God, I love Azuka. We've met |
| 0:46.0 | once or twice, but that's it. And we've chatted a bit on socials. But this was the first |
| 0:50.0 | proper conversation and my love only grew. I first saw Azuka probably in boiling point and then |
| 0:57.9 | big boys or big boys and then boiling point, I'm not sure, but then outrun and now in prisoner, |
| 1:05.0 | out now on Sky which honestly I binge the speed with which I binge this whole series would disgust you, would disgust you. |
| 1:14.8 | I loved it. |
| 1:15.8 | It's with previous distraction pieces podcast guest to hear Rahim. |
| 1:22.9 | Yeah, I was excited to talk to Azuka and it absolutely delivered. |
| 1:26.2 | Of course it did. |
| 1:27.2 | Don't be foolish. Of course it overdelivered. This was a wonderful chat. A little pre-story. This was part of a PR run. I was the last interview of the day. So I was delighted and honoured to get a good chunk of time. But I was in the hotel room. I'd set up and I was just, I was wistfully gazing out of a window. |
| 1:48.2 | And the PR person came in to say Azuka would be during five minutes. |
| 1:52.0 | And honestly, the PR person came in and they spoke so softly and gently. |
| 1:56.1 | I jumped out of my skin, absolutely shacked myself. |
| 1:59.9 | And we both found it so funny. Because I don't |
