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.

Pulling the Strings
The Drewling Samantics boys welcome a guest with magic in her hands this week, the wonderful Kim Scopes, whose talent is bringing seemingly inanimate objects to life, to delight and entertain. Kim is a highly skilled puppeteer and theatre creative, working in numerous areas of performance from TV to commercials and theatre to immersive events. She trained as an actor but, as she explains to Drew and Sam, Kim discovered an ability and natural aptitude for puppetry which she seized with both hands (if you’ll excuse the pun!)
Wearing the title of puppeteer with pride and passion, Kim has taken her ability, and in turn the puppets she has animated, into new realms. As well as working on screen and at events, she is also a regular cabaret performer, writing and creating solo shows to delight audiences of all kinds. And beyond the solo element of her work, Kim also explains the dedication and team work that the art often demands, both physically and mentally, in order to create the wonderful illusion of life.
Kim is as charming and delightful as her creations, and with boundless energy and an infectious feeling for fun, she is a fantastic guest bringing insight and enthusiasm to this week’s episode. Tune in now to see for yourselves!
