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.

Lighting Up The World
Tuning in to Drewling Samantics this week provides a chance to shine a light (if you’ll excuse the pun!) on another facet and specialised area of the performance world - stage and show lighting. It is rather ironic that the experts and technicians in one of the most important focal points (forgive that one too!) in a production, and one without which performers would very much be in the dark (ok, enough now), prefer to remain unseen (that was definitely the last one, promise!) In fact, as this week’s guest Vittorio Verta explains, if they are noticed it usually signals something is amiss!
Vittorio is a designer, creator, programmer and operator of lighting for many productions and performers, but that is putting things far too simply as becomes apparent during his visit with Drew and Sam. Permanently in demand, and always busy, Vittorio is currently working on a brand new touring music show with a top artist, and, as of episode release date, is travelling the USA, moving from venue to venue keeping everything running smoothly. And that is just one of a number of productions this quietly brilliant creative is developing - a master of multitasking you might say!
As always Drew and Sam are delighted to chat to another unsung hero of the entertainment industry, no doubt listeners and watchers will enjoy this insight too.
