Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
Another very long awaited, most anticapted episode this week as Pip chats with old pal and esteemed multi-disciplined podcaster / poet / author MUSA OKWONGA!
But it doesn’t even end there, as you’ll hear - and why should it? Musa has played the long game, the marathon approach, with his career and we find him at a place of peace and spiritual restfulness. A fortune place to be in right now, but rest assured as his good vibes will resonate with you and find their way into your own pulse and rhythm. Long term listeners and fans will certainly know Musa as a kind of ‘godfather’ of this podcast (he comes up on here a lot!), and it’s a treat to hear about his zig zags, being good but not the best at everything, the early formative poetry years, being Pip’s end of level boss in those days of wayback, gruelling rehearsals, his father and the story of his incredible life, Eton schooling, Ed Sheeran, being ambitious in investment of time and seeing the UK from Berlin where he makes his home. Jam packed and ready to go - you’ll like this one folks, enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 365 and this week |
| 0:06.7 | is a week that a lot of you long-time listeners have been waiting for. This gentleman has come up |
| 0:13.2 | in conversation so many times and it's because I absolutely adore him. Weirdly a few hours earlier |
| 0:23.0 | before recording this, I was talking to previous guests, Jody and Bickley and the conversation |
| 0:29.5 | just got round to how much we absolutely adore this week's guest, Moosa Oqwonga. It's a wonderful |
| 0:36.0 | conversation. We chatted for about 10 minutes before we got started, then we started rolling, |
| 0:40.6 | then we talked for 90 minutes and then we chatted for half an hour afterwards and I was feeling up |
| 0:47.5 | for the rest of the week. I spoke to Polar Bear, I mean as we furnish because it was mutual |
| 0:54.1 | friends and we both miss Moosa greatly in this period of time when we can't hang out and yeah, |
| 1:02.0 | we both just discussed how much of an uplift in Guy is. There's a bit in this where I reveal a |
| 1:10.0 | message he sent me and a question he asked that was, it sums Moosa up so perfectly as a person. |
| 1:15.9 | So a lot of you will be tuning in because you're familiar with Moosa and you want to hear him off |
| 1:20.0 | him. For anyone who isn't, you're about to find an amazing human. His new book, in the end, |
| 1:26.6 | it was all about love. We talk about it a little bit more towards the end. It's kind of what we |
| 1:31.7 | were meant to be here to plug and talk about but we haven't seen each other in so long and we haven't |
| 1:38.2 | looked each other in the face and spoken which we got to do here. So we had a really lovely catch-up. |
| 1:44.2 | Who should I get you to recommend if you, if this is your first time tuning in, |
| 1:47.5 | the two appearances of Kate Ampest and the recent polar bear and Kate Ampest two-parter. So |
| 1:55.8 | Kay has technically been on four episodes. They're all really worth a listen. That two-parter |
| 2:03.7 | with polar bear was one of my absolute favorites. Jody Ambickley probably comes up in conversation. |
| 2:08.8 | I'd recommend checking her out. Also I recommend her on the Mum and Mum podcast. It was a really |
| 2:15.5 | beautiful conversation. What else? The Tim Claire episode. We go into a bit of the spoken word |
