Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 238 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Today marks the long, patiently awaited return appearance from the acting and writing superhero who is KILLING it left, right, center and diagonal - it’s Michaela Coel!
What exactly HASN’T she been doing since she was last on? Good lord… Michaela is unquestionably smashing it right now (and has been for a minute), starring in two Black Mirror episodes, feature film Been So Long, BBC drama Black Earth Rising and a lil’ indie grindhouse flick called Star Wars: The Last Jedi, no biggie. We can only dream of what she’ll be unveiling when we hopefully see her next time on here! A bunch of awesome ground is covered of course, in not that long, including her humble but confident, responsive social media outlook, carving her own paths growing up, the intentions behind any given script, not wasting time on things that don’t mean much to you, the hit series Black Earth Rising and the much loved director, heroes and villains, learning about Africa and all the education that came with Black Earth Rising, TV license and the value of it, John Goodman, handling heavier scenes and TONS tons more! Enjoy - you shall!

| 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 episode 238 |
| 1:20.1 | of the distraction pieces podcast. And we've got a returning guest in Miss Michaela Carl and |
| 1:25.2 | Goddamn was it good to have a catch up. I've said a few times. I love it when I get hit up by people |
| 1:32.8 | or by the PR or whomever of people who I consider pals. And Michaela is someone I've had on the |
| 1:38.9 | podcast before. I had on episode 129. If you want to go back and listen to that, in that one we |
| 1:45.1 | talk about her upbringing, how she got into the spoken word scene and then into acting and into |
| 1:51.5 | writing and all these other things. But in this podcast we talk about she's been really busy since then. |
| 2:00.2 | Doing a lot of stuff, including Black Mirror, Black I've Rising, which is one of the best series |
| 2:07.5 | I've seen this year. Star Wars. Her to that, her to start, yep, Star Wars. And her new film |
| 2:14.4 | been so long, which is on Netflix right now. So we had a good catch up. And it was lovely, as I say, |
| 2:21.5 | and I'm sorry, I'm a bit, a bit roundly, it's lovely to get hit up by the PR of people or whatever |
