Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the glorious actor MICHAEL SOCHA! Part 2 of 2!
Drop right into this really lovely chat with Michael and Pip, who previously chatted in podcast form all them years back in 2016! Verging on a decade. Time marches on doesn't it. It's lovely to hear from Michael this time around with so much passed, but it isn't just re-call from that time, and catching up on those years. It's a typically wide-ranging conversation spread over two parts, bringing in so much of the acting world but also the various bits and pieces that inform the acting world and work within it. In the mix you can hear about such items as the good old self tape versus in-the-room debate, giving and receiving advice, the opposing and contradictory ends of the spiritual spectrum, trust, workshopping, Shane Meadows and some real nice wrestling analogies. But so much more, as you can tell by the simple fact that this is a two parter. So go in! Enjoy! Of course you will.
