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.

Here’s One I Made Earlier
Before you go looking for some sticky back plastic and fairy liquid bottles (if you know you know!) Drew and Sam haven’t turned to arts and crafts this week, rather the boys spend this episode discussing, exploring and debating the art of creating one’s own opportunities in the entertainment world.
In an increasingly crowded and traditionally competitive industry, where there are always many performers seeking limited roles, more actors and creatives are “making their own work”. Writing, directing, producing and promoting, it is now fairly common to see the modern performer undertaking some (and even at times all) of these tasks and roles in order to put on plays, make films and release all sorts of new material.
However, there are obviously positives and negatives to cutting out the middleman and wearing all the hats, as in order to experience the end goal it does normally mean taking risks at the same time. Using the examples of recent guests and Drew himself, the Drewling Samantics lads discuss the excitement, hard work, determination and fear that it takes to fully become “your own boss”, and the rewards that (hopefully) follow.
