Summary
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Simon Pegg, originally episode 11 from 2014-12-04.
Simon's a good pal of the podcast (and indeed Pip himself), and this is an episode you might have either missed entirely or heard so long ago you've completely blanked it from your memory. But with so much time passing, it's fascinating to hear what's what from all those years ago. It doesn't seem like a decade but it bloody well is... Lotta years. Simon's always good business so you're in for a treat whatever year the appearance was! Enjoy.
