Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined for a Xmas tradition catch-up by old pals POLARBEAR and MUSA OKWONGA! Part 1 of 2...
If you're listening to this podcast, I'll make a pretty safe bet that you will be familiar with spoken word superheroes Polar and Musa. If not, I'll make an equally safe bet that if you like Pip, you've now got two friends in waiting, as this crew go back a long way and share a lot of amazing ground, stories, past, influence and style but carry their own unique sparkle and fire. You could add Inua Ellams and Kae Tempest to the gang too, and a ton of others. ANYWAY - this is a continuation of the yearly Xmas drinks catchup tradition that goes back a while, where the crew celebrate and bigup others and their influences, favourites, and really get into the technique and inner workings of it all. The list of topics is too deep to relay here so just trust that between Pip, Polar and Musa, you will have yourself a wonderful time of it.
PART 2 around the corner!
IN THE END IT WAS ALL ABOUT LOVE

| 0:24.1 | Some of you will remember a couple of years ago, I did a Christmas drinks podcast with polar bear and K tempest. |
| 0:31.8 | Largely because me, polar and K |
| 0:36.0 | would often meet up for a Christmas drinks and just have a good old chat and we decided to do it over |
| 0:41.9 | Zoom the year I was in Canada and it was lovely. We mentioned in that one the other person |
