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.

Drewling Samantics is fast approaching towards the end of its sixteenth season, and Drew and Sam bring us their final guest episode today, but it is no normal episode, as they have some very special visitors - yes that’s right - visitors, plural!
Rob Howgate and Stephen Roach are (among other things!) the writer/producer and director/editor of soon to be released horror film “Rise of the Rats”, that just so happens to feature a rather familiar Drewling Samantics face! As devoted fans of film and horror, Rob and Stephen have produced this brilliant ‘creature feature’, bursting with great music, special effects and make-up, evocative locations and stunning performances. But, as well as the love and enthusiasm needed, Rob and Stephen also talk about the hard work of pre-production, casting, writing, location hunting and careful budgeting that has to be dealt with before any one gets to shout “Action!”
Both gents had different careers before becoming full time filmmakers, and they explain how these have helped along the way, giving them experiences and teaching them skills they have now adapted and use to help flex their creative muscles. While independent film making is extremely exciting, it is also certainly not for the faint hearted (a little bit like Rise of the Rats!) but, as Drew can testify, it tend to be a lot of fun too, especially with two talented and fun guys like Rob and Stephen leading the way. So join these four lads now for a brilliant last guest episode of this Drewling Samantics season, and find out a whole lot more about making terrifying (but great!) films!
