Welcome, welcome, welcome. My name is Scruvius Pip and this is the distraction pieces podcast.

I'm recording my intro, obviously a little bit in advance and I've just been on Twitter

and I'm very self-conscious on this intro because someone called Daniel Wallace has highlighted to

me that I say my welcomes with two W's rather than a W and an L. So you know W-E-W-C-O-M welcome

rather than welcome. So I just want to apologise for the last 35 episodes of poorly

enunciated welcomes but clearly it's not going to change because that's that's S6 that's my S6

voice for you. It was interesting to meet in a tell a little story now despite a last week doing

two full episodes of just me talking. I haven't had enough of that. When I started to come up in

in the music industry I used to do a lot of gigs with Kate Nash and Jack Pena, I and Adele and

all that kind of crowd and when we started to get write-ups and reviews I would along with the rest

of the gang I would get accused of having a mocknie accent and I had to just spend ages defending

in interviews and explaining that that's just an S6 accent and S6 accent just sounds like kind of

a slightly weaker cockney accent or a slightly yeah I don't know a poor attempt at a cockney accent.

So yeah that's the that's the troubles I have to have to encounter there but um you know we're

getting on with it um we've now got the UK's number one podcast so it can't be that bad an accent.

Thank you very much for all the support um it also helped obviously are we had some great support

from the BBC news website. It had us on the front page talking about the podcast so thank you

for all downloading and continuing to support it means the world let's quickly get that support

thing in there as well of speech development records head over there um and check out my label

I've got t-shirts I've got all sorts of stuff it's it's a genuinely good way for you to support

the podcast um yeah there's there's there's tons of stuff there should be something for

for everyone even if you're not particularly a scruviest bit fan there should be stuff on there
