Harry Baker: your poet best friend! (pre-order the new book 'Tender' now / Something Borrowed podcast) #643

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the absolute whirlwind of joy and good vibes, the poet HARRY BAKER!A meeting which is also a reunificiation, as Pip and Harry go back a good many years in the scene. Admittedly their time has been separated over the years, but that's the beauty of the scheduled recording! An excuse to leap back in. As you'll hear, while Harry has a flag planted in poetry, his world merges perfectly with comedy and humour as well as music, which lends his style to a huge amount of open doors out there for what he does. From the earlier days discovering Hip Hop via a cool teacher, to peppering raps with humour while not laughing at the artform, poems about maths and verging on being typecast as the 'maths poet' (though he does do the only poem with a pi-solo), silence and holding the room, developing technique the hard way by working rooms, Bestival, all the way up to daily poem writing through the first 100 days of a newborn. Yes of course there is so much more than that. But that's where you come in. So enjoy, and discover more about Harry through all links below - you'll love him.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMMANY HARRY LINKSPRE-ORDER NEW BOOK 'TENDER'UPCOMING GIGSSOMETHING BORROWED podcast (Youtube)SOMETHING BORROWED podcast (audio)SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
