Welcome, welcome, welcome. My name is Scrubius Pip and this is the first ever distraction

pieces podcast. Thank you very much for tuning in. I'm crazy excited about this. I actually

explain what this is. The distraction pieces podcast is going to be a weekly podcast every

Wednesday hosted by me, Scrubius Pip. And it's just going to be an hour to 90 minutes

of conversation with different people that I think it will be interesting to have a conversation

with. There's not going to be a theme. It's not just going to be here. Probably a spoken

word. If you know of my my my background, you may have assumed that. Just going to be

interesting. I think people I think are going to be interesting to hear a long conversation

with. I think the way the internet has gone now, there's so much just bite size information

and snippets that the art of the long form conversation or long form interview is dying.

So podcasts are bringing that back. And I think that's fantastic. Yeah. It's going to be

every Wednesday. And next week we're going to have a saying low who's amazing. We're going

to have after that. Alamoor, who wrote the watchman and loads of other amazing things.

Then DJ legend DJ Yoda. So yes, subscribe. Please subscribe on iTunes or whatever. It's

going to be a very run iTunes and it's Scrubius Pip.co.uk. And it's going to be free. But

the way we're going to keep it free is we're going to have sponsors each week. And that's

just going to be to cover the hosting and so on and so forth. But this week I've not got

sponsors. And the reason for that is our first guest, our first guest is Mr. Russell Brand.

So it was great to have a chat with him. Again, I've recalled these intros and outros after

we've done the podcast. So it's great to have a chat with him. But after talking to him

and we talk about capitalism and socialism and communism, a lot of isms and oxyses.

And it felt that it would feel appropriate to leave off the sponsorship for this first
