Chris & Pip’s Staylist for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably • link in shownotes) #636

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

This week Pip is joined by the Hardcore Listing homie and everyday life homie CHRIS GLASSEN!

You might have heard the pre-show shouts from Pip over the past few weeks, regarding a tie-in with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). CALM are trying to raise funds to maintain their literally life-saving service, a service which aims to help people end misery, not their lives. You'll likely have heard Pip and Chris refer to their dearly departed friend Jay, a friend whose legacy lives on and - as you'll always hear - is celebrated in the spirit of the relationship Pip and Chris (and Stu) have. Fun, mischievous, but built on a foundation of love and admiration.

With the 'Staylists' which you might have heard before some episodes lately, the aim is to present various awesome things that are basically worth staying around for. You're listening to a podcast hosted by someone who has dedicated his life to arts and culture, and so it makes sense that these elements are immensely important to the daily processing of life and what it brings. The heavy times, the lighter moments, all of it. So here, Pip and Chris deliver a powerful setlist of cool things that Jay would have loved over the past 20+ years he hasn't been here.

This isn't something you get on every podcast, this is a unique blend of two people combing through fun and funny times, grief, emotion, and all the while involving us all in the convo while also giving us some solid recommendations. If it isn't clear in the above, it is a very fun episode! Just good to know what the background is before you jump in. If you're not in a zone right now for references to grief and death, we've got back catalogue for days - and if you're affected personally by these issues, hit up CALM, and Samaritans are also right there if you need them. Love to you all XXX
