Drewling Samantics
Drew and Sam are actors. They haven’t won any Academy Awards yet, and neither of them is in line to be the new James Bond (sorry Sam), but between them they do have over half a century’s worth of experience in the industry. Many months ago a combination of boredom, significantly reduced work opportunities (thanks pandemic!) and overactive and under-stimulated imaginations inspired them to create a podcast, and somehow they’re still at it. Join the Drewling Samantics chaps every Sunday (or download and listen later) as they give an entertaining insight into how their industry works - from modelling to voiceover, theatre to film, and television to streamed media, the gents talk about all areas of performance artistry, giving an insider view that is sometimes humorous, often eye-opening or poignant, and at times just downright strange! With regular guest appearances and the odd special ‘on location’ segment, Drewling Samantics brings something unique and fresh to the world of podcasts from two normal blokes, working in a rather abnormal industry.

S09E09 - The One That Got Away
The One That Got Away
There has been quite a lot going on in the industry recently for Drew and Sam to cast their eyes over and pick apart. In this episode alone they discuss budget cuts, well timed but potentially inappropriate protests, useful and exciting investments, and a very British response to an abnormal occurrence. Quite the collection!
Then, having dealt with the news and other developments, the Drewling Samantics chaps turn their attention to those unfortunate, but not uncommon, occasions when actors have to deal with the rejection and disappointment of missing out on a job. No matter how much caution and common sense a performer uses when auditioning, sometimes it is difficult not to get ahead of one’s self and start “spending the wages” in advance, or to begin to enjoy the role before actually officially landing it. Both Drew and Sam have experienced this and share their personal recollections, as well as referencing one or two outside of their own careers. And, they tend to be far rarer situations, but there are even times when a job has to be turned down, which you’d think it would be easy but, as one of the boys explains, it can be quite the opposite!
