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.

Coming Out of His Shell
Regular listeners and viewers of Drewling Samantics will know all about how Drew and Sam found their respective ways into the industry, with their individual paths differing quite significantly, and in this week’s episode they introduce a guest who has taken another, rather uniquely timed, step into acting.
Dom Thomson is a relatively new member of the acting family, but that hasn’t stopped him experiencing several avenues of performance in such a short time: touring theatre, ballet (although not as you may think, as he explains), interactive and immersive shows, new writing - he certainly hasn’t been a slouch! And his “origin story” is perhaps a seemingly familiar one, but with a definite twist. As we know, during the visit of the “Unwelcome Guest” many members of the arts experienced a variety of difficulties and challenges that resulted in taking unexpected action - some took on other jobs (in rare cases leaving the performing world on a permanent basis), some relied on savings, some did lots of remote work, and some even started podcasts! Dom however took almost the opposite change of direction, leaving his regular job, and, after a period of reflection, decided to become an actor! This is never an easy choice, and for Dom too there were certain obstacles, but then an amazing event helped Dom on his way…
No spoilers here, you’ll just have to listen to the charming and erudite Dom Thomson as he shares his stories with Drew and Sam.
