Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by comic, actor and writer MICHELLE DE SWARTE!
An awesome piece of pure Distraction Pieces goodness for you this week with the wonderful Michelle, who drops in for a perfect debut appearance on the podcast! Michelle catches us up on a ton of things past and present, including all of the hard edges along with the gooey centres, such as class and money, unknowingly homeless, modeling, luck vs hustle, production of a show and the team behind it, representing South London and elevating it to go against the cliche, comedy, and loads more. A lot to cram into around an hour but that's a lovely problem to have. You'll love this one - enjoy Michelle!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Destruction Pieces Podcast, episode 571. |
| 0:07.0 | And I'm joined today by Michelle Diswarp. I was weirdly nervous about this episode because I've watched chunks of Michelle's stand up and then I got sent preview link to Michelle's show that's coming out on the BBC called Spent and I thought was so fucking good. |
| 0:25.0 | Really enjoyed it. But as I say all the time on this like when you've not met someone |
| 0:29.6 | before you don't know how they'll be. Yeah and you know a stand-up persona can be different from a |
| 0:38.8 | character in a TV show that's based loosely on that person's life so it's really hard to get a |
| 0:43.8 | read of who this person's gonna be and then we went and recorded one of my |
| 0:48.3 | favorite episodes I've done in ages so it was an absolute joy. |
| 0:52.4 | As said so a little ages so it was an absolute joy. |

| 1:46.1 | was on Sky it was on Sky Atlantic and now TV look at that the fact I had to consider |
| 1:52.1 | and pluck that out my memory proves that I actually watch all these things and I'm not just a |
| 1:57.5 | reading of a sheet. I mean that could be amazing acting for me but it is also true anyway we'll get into the episode we |
| 2:05.1 | I bought you as ever by speech development records.com big news you can now get |
| 2:10.5 | loads of B-Dolan stuff over at Speech Development Records.com. |
| 2:14.3 | Previously you had to pay huge import fees to get it all from America. |
| 2:18.6 | We've got B's new album which has been blowing everyone away and that we spoke about a month or two back. |
