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.

S012E11 - What is Next for Stage and Screen? AI-AI-Oh!
What is Next for Stage and Screen? AI-AI-Oh!
Don’t worry, despite what may be apparent from social media imagery, our two favourite podcasters haven’t been replaced by robot doppelgangers! But today’s episode does have a rather futuristic feel. You see in recent times two letters have caused puzzlement, consternation, hope, anger, worry, investment and much else in the entertainment industry, and indeed in the arts more widely... Those letters of course, are AI.
There is no denying its impact, or ignoring the ever-growing influence of AI, and this week Drew and Sam dive into the world of this technology, and especially its as yet undefined effects on the future of the performance world. It is such a fast-moving technology that there seem to be no boundaries or limits, and the boys explore some of the legal and professional ramifications and possible failings. It’s not all bad news however there are some benefits to look forward to, and some fun to be had.
Such a large and ever growing subject cannot be covered in a single episode, which is why the chaps have touched upon it before, and no doubt will visit it again in the future, but for now dive in and enjoy this thought provoking and frank chat about a technology that is (to paraphrase a certain marvel villain's famous statement) “Inevitable”.
