Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the legendary comic MARK STEEL!

It's entirely likely you'll have been listening to and watching the work of Mark for decades now - he's been hard at work for a minute, and the fanbase is strong indeed. As you'll hear, Pip's been on board for years, starting with the Mark Steel Lectures. Here we have a really lovely catchup with these two as Mark leads the way through his past and present, and as with so much in life, it's a potent mix of all angles. Presently we find Mark having recently battled throat cancer, which as you can imagine features as a big topic here - something which no doubt Mark is still processing and recovering from. On that note, it could be advised that Mark doesn't hold back on some details (neither should he), so just mentioning that for those who might appreciate the alert. But it's also pretty incredible that not only do we get to hear about what happened in the past tense, we get to hear it through Mark himself, as even talking as a way of communicating was a difficult thing to weave around. All that said - he is a comic, so there's a huge amount of fun and laughter and the whole episode is a real joy (and TONS of random facts. Catch him on the road, the schedule is packed...
