Drewling Samantics

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.

    S15E03 - The Big O

    The Big O      Another year comes around, another awards season swings in to action, and it’s another year where Drew and Sam have been passed over for glory. Are they disappointed? Well, maybe just a little, but certainly not enough to stop them seizing the opportunity to mull over the nominations and potential winners! It may not be one of the boys that ends up with a lovely shiny statue on their mantelpiece this time, but on today’s show the chaps discuss some very excited and nervous people, who will no doubt have their fingers tightly crossed!    Yes it’s another fun show today, with highly encouraged “audience participation”, as the Drewling Samantics lads consider the Oscar nominees, and (after much contemplation, deliberation, examination and, well, guess work!) they make their predictions for who and what will take home the gold! From the reasons for nominations and potential victories, to debating the benefits from ‘the nod’ and the sought after win, our dynamic duo consider everything that goes into, and occurs due to these occasions - after all, Actors’ careers are enhanced, and studios sell more films as a result, right...?    Join Drew and Sam now to enjoy a humorous and interesting take on the upcoming awards, and perhaps suggest your own predictions, as the boys promise to revisit and review just how well they, and maybe others, have done, once all has been revealed!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@drewlingsamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss     Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    S15E02 - Double Trouble

    Double Trouble      It’s always an exciting prospect when Drew and Sam welcome a visitor to Drewling Samantics, so that surely means this week is even more special, as the boys have the pleasure of welcoming delightful couple Emily Juler and Tom Capper to podcast HQ.    Performers, creatives, writers, producers, teachers and more, Emily and Tom are a truly charming pair, who successfully manage both their impressive careers and their happy marriage while somehow surviving the ups and downs of the entertainment industry! Talking to our hosts today, they share how they met, the work they enjoy together and separately, future projects, and even some wonderful advice and insights too.    Emily delights in her work and is soon off on a short tour reprising one of her favourite roles, while Tom has just finished a long pantomime run and is embarking on an exciting writing project, so although they clearly spend a lot of their lives sharing things and experiences, they equally have individual focuses and pursuits (and are 100% supportive of one another - one of the secrets to their happiness perhaps?!    Drewling Samantics hits it big with this first brilliant guest episode, and as it’s two for the price of one it is well worth getting to know this fabulous couple - so don’t hesitate, get involved now!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    Instagram.com/Emily.Juler  Instagram.com/TomCapperActor    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss   Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en  Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    S15E01 - eXciting reVival

    eXciting reVival     What, well where did that come from?! It’s only an episode of Drewling Samantics, that’s all! Yes the boys are finally back and rather than building up to this exciting new season they’ve just dropped it on us without warning - shocking, but rather enjoyable we can all agree!   So yes, Christmas is over, New Year has been and gone, and it remains to be seen whether Drew and Sam have made any resolutions...! They have, however, definitely finished their seasonal contracts, and that means they are well and truly back for Drewling Samantics Season Fifteen. We kick off in this brand new episode with the chaps welcoming listeners and viewers both new and old, and filling us all in on their past few weeks' activities and work. Then, looking forward, not only do they both have plenty of exciting jobs coming up, but along with that the industry is plunging into numerous awards ceremonies, so the lads discuss recent winners and pontificate over potential nominees and future winners too.   With much to look forward to this is the perfect opening to what promises to be another exciting and intriguing season, especially with a great roster of visiting guests (not that our dynamic duo are leaking any of their names just yet!) So tune in now, and get ready for lots more Drewling Samantics adventures!     Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss   Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en  Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    Season Fourteen: Best of Drew & Sam

    Season Fourteen – Best of Drew & Sam      Well another season of Drewling Samantics has reached its climax, and rather good timing too as both boys are now fully immersed in their respective seasonal contracts (it’s almost like they planned the dates - maybe they’re better at this than they give themselves credit for?!)    It’s been a fantastic fifteen weeks or podcast content, which has included fabulous guests, brilliant discussions, highly interesting facts, and the usual generous helping of banter, mickey taking and ridiculousness too! The chaps have had a blast bringing us more episodes of entertainment and have certainly earned themselves a break. But not before this final outing of course, where we all get to dive in one last time and experience their favourite moments, most memorable clips, and personal highlights from what has been a decidedly enjoyable fourteenth season.    So sit back, and let yourselves be amused, shocked and thrilled for one last time in 2025, as everyone’s favourite podcasters bring you: Drewling Samantics Season Fourteen - Best of Drew and Sam!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss     Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en  Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    Season Fourteen: Best of Guests

    Season Fourteen – Best of Guests      Drew and Sam are back for this, their penultimate episode of Season Fourteen, and as always they have found it extraordinarily difficult but extremely enjoyable selecting their favourite highlights from the brilliant guest episodes of this season.    An exciting and interesting, varied and fascinating gathering of visitors dropped into Drewling Samantics HQ during the latter part of 2025, and each of them gave all sorts of wonderful insights into their section of the business. Jack Tyler Fisher provided the music, Sayed Jawad the very moving pictures, Tilly Burrows made sure everyone was well dressed, Albert Bramante kept heads well screwed on, Ralph Jones ensured nobody was ever lost for words, and Rachel Fullegar kept everything moving smoothly!    And if that isn’t enough of a teaser to Season Fourteen’s company of professionals, simply give this ‘Best of Guests’ compilation a try and you are sure to be diving into the full episodes in no time! Our podcasting pair are forever grateful to those who give their time to join them on the show, and we couldn’t agree more, so an enormous thank you to them all.    Next week Drew and Sam to wind up another great season with their final episode - their own highlights and best bits, so after checking out today’s offering, make sure you do the same next Sunday as well!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss    Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en  Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    S14E13 - Legends and Legacies

    Legends and Legacies      Another fabulous season of Drewling Samantics may be drawing to a close, but Drew and Sam aren’t slowing down - no they’re doing what they do best, and keeping the content coming by having another a good old chat!    Reflecting on the fantastic episodes and wonderful guests of the past three or so months, it really isn’t all that surprising that they still have immense fun getting together (be that virtually or in person) to talk about the business they enjoy so much, and are privileged to work in. Today’s show also gives the chaps an opportunity to pay tribute to two inspirational actors who sadly passed away recently, but have left an important and indelible mark upon our podcasting pair, along with the rest of the industry and the vast audiences who were lucky enough to experience and enjoy their work. This in turn inspires discussions on stand out members from the world of performance, and dream scene/film/stage partners - be that due to their versatility, ability, or otherwise - who anyone would give their left arm to have the opportunity to work with.    Sometime the lads can become quite philosophical, deep and honest, which certainly is has its positives, but as always the Drewling Samantics boys are a force to be reckoned with - never standing still too long, and trying their best not to take life too seriously! And fortunately for us, with “Best Of” highlight episodes to plan, and Season Fifteen just about visible on the 2026 horizon, they aren’t going anywhere. Except off to entertain the masses for Christmas!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss     Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    S14E12 - Dance To Your Own Tune

    Dance To Your Own Tune      Today the final Drewling Samantics guest of Season 14 steps through the virtual doors, and how very lucky we all are to meet her! Rachel Fullegar is one busy lady, particularly at this time of the year, what with many seasonal productions in various stages of creation and completion, but what is it exactly that she does?    Well, you’ll have to check out this episode for specifics, but Rachel certainly is an incredibly talented creative, spinning all sorts of plates as a dancer and choreographer, lecturer, performer, producer, director and more (just a few strings to her bow then!) Alongside her many specialties, Rachel’s other strengths include her self-knowledge and willingness to learn or change course to improve her skills and prospects, and chatting with Drew and Sam she shares her honest, pragmatic and inspiring approach to all things performance.    Rachel’s calm and charming personality hides the dynamo within, but nothing is hidden as she shares her knowledge and experience with our podcasting presenters, for this latest fabulous Drewling Samantics episode.      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  YouTube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    Instagram.com/GraceFoolCollective  Instagram.com/RachelFullegar     RSS Feed   https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss    Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!

    S14E11 - We're Gonna Need Another Quote

    We’re Gonna Need Another Quote      It’s probably not that tricky to predict this week’s subject matter if you take a look at the episode title! Yes, famous film quotes are the topic of discussion in this latest Drewling Samantics show, and if you’re listening to or watching this podcast it’s fair to say you’re probably a keen film fan. Like many fans Drew and Sam are fond of a good memorable and/or impactful film quote, and in fact in some instances are able to remember more than just a line or two from personal favourites. So why exactly is that important today? Well Drew has been let loose on the internet with a notebook and pen and has a challenge for Sam, and, as long-term fans will know, that always tends to have some interesting results!    As mentioned, most of us can comfortably quote a line here or there, and may even feel proud we have memorised significant parts of our favourite movies, Alternatively, we may just find cause to use a famous film phrase because it fits a certain situation. But are we always quoting verbatim? Or has a line entered every day usage and is being incorrectly recited without our knowing?    Who needs a bigger boat? Is there such a thing as a dirty rat? Could you pass that box of chocolates Mrs Robinson? Bastardising and paraphrasing aside, these (or parts of them) are all very familiar, but maybe not quite as you initially imagine! So join Drew and Sam today and enjoy spotting the errors and finding out more about some stories behind some of the most famous and common movie misquotes!      Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@drewlingsamantics    RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss     Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!
