Don’t @ me. Or do. Whatever. I’m not your boss... . . Posted @withregram • @scroobiuspipyo NOTE: BEFORE COMMENTING PLEASE READ CAPTION. . In recent weeks I’ve seen a lot of #DefundThePolice posts. After initially being unsure of it I decided to do some research and instantly found it to be more complex than the hashtag suggests (as is often the case). . So, after some research on who would be the best to talk to about it on my Distraction Pieces Podcast for the US and the U.K., I lined up conversations with Professor Alex Vitale and Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper to see if this hashtag has more to it, to see if it was viable and, basically, to learn. . As with many hashtags, it can prompt a knee jerk, emotional response, so I ask that you give the conversations a listen with an open mind. . No matter what side of the argument you find yourself on initially. . I also request that you hold off on commenting until you’ve LISTENED (yeah, I tricked you into thinking you only had to read the caption before commenting). . We don’t have to agree, but we all have a responsibility in these social media, quick take times to make sure our opinions are informed ones. . Download, stream, rate, review, spread the word and generally enjoy!

An immense and ridiculous amount of podcast goodness in the @distractionpiecesnetwork dojo, as 2018 reaches the seasaw tipping point and the Distraction Pieces Podcast with @scroobiuspipyo keeps throwing down episode after episode of true and living interview greatness. I’ve been mixing and editing the podcast since episode 66 with Adam Buxton, back in November 2015, and the guest list has been golden throughout, from full on 5 star celebrities to charitable organizations to family members to behind the scenes hustlers and a ton more besides. Peep the back catalogue, the RSS feed, subscribe, review, leave a classy review, whatever works for you - and if you haven’t started on it yet just pick a guest you like the sound of and go from there... Maybe then you can have a little look through the estimable @distractionpiecesnetwork roster (obviously you’ll want to peep the homies over at @hardcorelisting - you’ll get along nicely with that!) and enrich your podcast routine. New episode every Wednesday (at least) and some killer guests to come. The most recent was episode 213 with @katenash which was a proper smash, so that’d be a fine place to catch up. >>> ENJOY >>> • ITUNES: http://apple.co/1x3xdy0 • ACAST: http://bit.ly/2ailO3O (with tags and extras) • distractionpiecespodcast.com —//—//—//— #distractionpieces #podcast #acast #speechdevelopment #scroobiuspip #podcast #team3w (at Margate, Kent)
