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.

High Five
Whether you’re a regular listener, a sporadic viewer, a past guest, or a relative newcomer, you may not realise that this has been a rather momentous week for Drewling Samantics - the show is five years old! That’s right, for half a decade Drew and Sam have been delighting (or disappointing, depending on your point of view - although if you’ve come back for more, it certainly can’t be the latter!) visitors to their podcast, and they couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve achieved!
What started as a lockdown pressure release and grumble outlet, has become an extremely important, significant and positive part of their professional and personal lives. Brought to the world from Drew’s ‘sofa of dreams’ and Sam’s tech-savvy studio, as well as sporadic transmissions from various digs and venues around the country, Drewling Samantics has grown exponentially, and now holds a fond place in the hearts of many podcast listeners and YouTube viewers - far exceeding anyone’s expectations or indeed intentions. Did our chaps expect to be broadcasting for this long? Probably not, but then not everything can be planned or predicted, which is certainly true in an industry as unpredictable as the entertainment business.
Beyond reflecting on the past five years of creating content, today the lads also discuss planning in general when it comes to the world of performance. But have either of them set goals or attempted to formulate a plan - five year or otherwise? You’ll have to join Drew and Sam now to find out, as they chat about their personal approach to work, past present, and future.
Well well well - five years and going strong, who’d have thunk it?! Safe to say we’re all glad they’re still about though, and mirror the big thanks the gents give to everyone that has made, and continues to make, Drewling Samantics such an undoubted success.
