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.

Kites, Trains and Exotic Hotels
It’s guest week once again for Drew and Sam, and their visitor this time out is the brilliant Tiran Aakel, who is clearly conquering the stage both on tour and in town!
Tiran is a wonderful actor of great depth and character, with a career spanning several decades, but most recently having been involved in some modern classics like The Kite Runner, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and - a show he is hoping he’ll hopefully have the opportunity to revisit in its potential upcoming tour - The Girl On The Train. Not only that, but he, like Drew, enjoys and excels at playing Manuel in Fawlty Towers dinner theatre shows.
Amongst other topics, Tiran talks about the importance and privilege of communicating powerful social and political messages through the medium of performance. His ability has allowed him to take part in some very poignant shows - productions such as The Jungle, which deals with the suffering of refugees and the human condition itself, and others too, that allow audiences to get more than enjoyment alone from theatre experiences.
An actor with heart, commitment and an understanding of just how deeply theatre can influence and inspire, Tiran is a fascinating and intelligent guest, whose visit to Drewling Samantics is one not to be missed!
