Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
A great and very cool, calm and collected chat with UK acting royalty who has been a welcome fixture on screens great and small, it’s JOHN SIMM!
While a good gang of you will know John through Human Traffic (I mean come on), or maybe Life On Mars, or perhaps his new show Grace - or let’s face it, his entire film and tv-ography, but he was also in a band for a stretch back then too! All of this is of course covered in the conversation he had with Pip over Zoom, which includes pandemical flex, being a teenager again through PS2, being in a literal Dad Band, freedom to be himself in front of others through acting, learning acting, and all things craft, skill and inspiration. Tons in here, you’ll love it.
