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.

Isn’t it refreshing to sometimes to step back from the hectic pace of the world, and appreciate the gentler, simpler and more honest skills and pleasures of life and art? Well this week Drew and Sam have a guest who epitomises just that!
Alastair J Braidwood is the latest fantastic visitor dropping in to Drewling Samantics, and he is a gentleman of wide and varied skills and experience. He primarily plies his trade as a performer and musician, but those are just two of his eclectic range of attributes. With a love of historic pastoral music, and skills developed to reflect this, he writes and produces music and productions that embrace all the worlds he is most passionate about - keeping traditional music alive, and taking it to new audiences whilst playing an amazing array of instruments to boot!
Alistair has played a range of characters from Captain Hook to Santa Claus, and relishes the joy these recognisable and much-loved roles bring to those who experience him performing as them. And his understated talent and appreciation of the past allows him to formulate, actualise and embody new characters, as well as reimagining already established figures. All this together makes him an undoubtedly unique and entertaining guest, who brings some fascinating facts and a ready wit to everybody’s favourite podcast - it’s not to be missed!
