Drewling Samantics

Season Ten – Best of Drew & Sam
 
 
Drew and Sam very much enjoyed looking back at highlights of their guest visits in last week’s show, and today they are equally confident in putting a smile on the faces of all their loyal followers and fans by sharing some of their own best bits of Season Ten.
 
 There has been much to discuss - news, industry controversy, awards and rewards, sad losses, tradition and superstition were just some of the subjects the lads broached, and there were plenty more too. There was even an episode devoted to the perks occasionally enjoyed by Drew and Sam when they’ve been working on special projects, and this is certainly one of the perks of Drewling Samantics – the chance to listen or watch again, with Drew and Sam at their very best. 
 
Dip in for a first-time sample, or enjoy the clips featured in this special Season Ten compilation over again, before Drew and Sam unveil the surprises and guests in the rapidly approaching eleventh season.

Season Ten – Best of Guests 
 
 
It’s been a season of great variety, with the guests dropping in on Drewling Samantics representing many industry disciplines, and (directly or indirectly) many countries too. Drew and Sam have had the pleasure of talking to Allan Turner-Ward, Tony Jopia, Matt Trayler, Tyler Marlow, Paula Fareri and Leo Abad over the past three and a bit months, and to say this collection of performers is enormously talented is quite the understatement! Their fabulous array of visitors have taken on and mastered many vocations and specialties, with roles, jobs and skills including filmmaking and production, DJ’ing, musical theatre performance, speaking (and singing in) multiple languages, directing, presenting radio, acting, educating, event managing, and even taking to the stage as a pantomime Dame! As well as this impressive collection of talents, they have covered the world between them, touching foreign soil in places such as Chile, Italy, the Middle East, America, France, China, Germany, and... Whitley Bay! 
 
This once-per-season show always gives Drew and Sam the chance to remember some highlights from the wonderful people who were kind and generous enough to share their experiences, stories and time while visiting DrewlingSamantics, and Season Ten’s iteration is certainly no different. Of course it’s also a brilliant opportunity for fans and followers to relive (or for new listeners and/or viewers, to experience for the first time) the thrill and enjoyment of what these hugely talented individuals brought to everyone’s favourite podcast!

Ten-tatively Paused 
 
 
People often say you should never look back, however there is always an exception to every rule which today the Drewling Samantics boys are glad to exercise, with every reason to look back over what has been such a great season! 
 
Once again we have reached the time where Drew and Sam round off their exploits, ruminate on what has been experienced, and head into a well earned break. It has been an enormously interesting and entertaining season, with a fantastic variety of debates and discussions, as well as numerous news topics and stories to follow, and not forgetting of course the hugely enjoyable visits from some brilliant industry professionals. They also reflect back on an idea that proved to be extremely popular with listeners and viewers alike, where they took the opportunity to put themselves under the microscope by taking questions from past guests, and, whether you consider it to be brave and revealing, or weird and wonderful, it is likely to be something they will be doing again in the not too distant future! 
 
But this week they aren’t just taking a look back over the previous episodes, as there is still room for a more chat and deliberation. So before we dive into our last episodes of the season , the always entertaining ‘Best Of’ episodes, why not join Drew and Sam to bid farewell to Season Ten, and brace themselves for Season Eleven!

In the Fast La(i)ne 
 
 
Today the Drewling Samantics chaps are joined but someone so fresh faced and youthful that it’s enough to make them both feel old! Yes this show sees the lads welcome their most recent guest, the bright and brilliant talent that is musical theatre performer Leo Abad. 
 
Having not long graduated from Laine Theatre Arts stage school, Leo was straight off on a national tour, taking on (among other roles) the part of the White Rabbit in the wonderful Shrek The Musical! This is certainly not his first professional credit though, as he appeared in panto with one half of the Drewling Samantics team, and, as professional debuts go, it was definitely an eventful experience as Leo explains (no, not just because he had to share the stage with Sam!) Leo is on the road with Shrek for a few more weeks before that magical adventure comes to its end, however this talented young man won’t have an opportunity to stop, as he jumps immediately into his first West End contract! But of course, which show is it that Leo is joining you ask? Well you’ll have to tune in to find out more as it’s not as simple a Leo doing a big reveal... or is it?! 
 
Another fabulous guest makes for another fabulous episode; Leo is a true delight, full of energy, enthusiasm and ambition, and has a smile that lights up every room. The Drewling Samantics boys are honoured to welcome him for this fantastic interview and they’re sure you’ll find him as entertaining as they did.

Perks of the Job
 
 
The Drewling Samantics boys are back for another glorious week of podcast fun, and this week, although it is just the pair of them, Drew and Sam certainly seem to be in a good mood. After kicking off as they always do with some choice industry stories, the chaps soon get stuck in to this week’s main topic. Many will have noticed that Sam has been a little cryptic and mysterious regarding a specific job recently, and today some details are finally revealed - and much more besides!
 
We know that Drew and Sam can occasionally be a little grumpy, and like all of us they enjoy a good moan about their work, but more often than not they are upbeat, optimistic and love every minute. This week’s subject may go some way to explaining why, as Sam gives an insight into the fabulous time he had on this recent job and he and Drew swap stories about the times when they have had to pinch themselves - “Am I really getting paid to do this?!”
 
But before you think this is just an opportunity for the lads to indulge in a bit of a ‘brag fest’, it is all good humoured and they have been just as surprised by some of this extra bonuses as you will be. So tune in to hear about some rather special rewards, and then return again next week for a visit from a truly shining star of a guest – the final one of this season.

Outstanding in Anyone’s Language
 
 
Everyone involved with Drewling Samantics loves a guest, be that all the lovely listeners and viewers, or indeed the boys themselves, and Drew and Sam are definitely loving the visit this week of the wonderful Paola Fareri. Multi-talented and multi-lingual, Paola joins the chaps from her home, for the moment, in Paris. And it is “for the moment”, as her feet hardly seem to touch the ground! At the time of recording with our podcasting pair, Paola is in Paris performing in Lion King the Musical, but in this episode she talks about her travels and the many roles that have taken her all around Europe. And as if all that travelling isn’t challenging enough, along with the change of character Paola often changes the language she works in – amazing!
 
This is certainly one performer who relishes her work, and she speaks passionately about her favourite roles and how they have affected her life as an actor. Drew and Sam have spoken to understudies and swings in the past but in Paola’s case there are additional challenges when approaching swing roles in different languages and countries.
 
Charming and fascinating as the lady herself, Paola’s Drewling Samantics appearance should not be missed – so what are you waiting for?!

Prizewinning Performance
 
 
As is the case with practically any kind of job or vocation, the people working in the entertainment industry can be a fairly temperamental lot at times. It’s probably not all that surprising, given the unpredictability of the career they have chosen, being so fraught with challenges and rejection at one moment, but then oozing with triumph and success at the next. It goes without saying though that the one thing enjoyed unanimously, is a little flattery and praise, and this is the time for just that, as we are in the full throws of awards season, culminating in the “big ones” this weekend. That, of course, means the Oscars - a glittering, star-studded, red-carpeted evening of praise and reward (as well as some inevitable disappointment) as the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences makes it choices and recognises those at the top of their game.
 
Though their nominations appear to have gotten lost in the post, Drew and Sam won’t be left out this weekend, and in today’s show take the opportunity to make some predictions, talk Oscars facts and records, and enjoy the build-up to one of the biggest film events of the year. Another great episode that is surely worth a listen, even if it’s just to see if the boys educated guesses match up to the decisions of those in prestigious positions, and/or (shocking as it may be to consider!) if you agree with them!

Park-Life 
 
 
After the grilling Drew and Sam received last week from their past guests, the Drewling Samantics boys return things to normal today as they seize the opportunity to put some questions to, and hear stories from another fabulous visitor! 
 
Leaping into the podcast world of Drew and Sam is the wonderful Tyler Marlow, actor, pantomime dame, and holiday park entertainment team leader. Tyler lifts the lid on his work as head of all things entertainment for one of the biggest holiday park organisations in the country. Much maligned and spoofed in shows like the enormously successful Hi De Hi, holiday parks are now recognised as one of the major getaway destinations for thousands of families throughout the year. They are also a superb training ground for young entertainers, and many of our best loved performers cut their teeth and honed their skills as ‘coat entertainers’. In this fascinating interview Tyler shows how much talent, dedication and hard work is required to make the shows and events such a success, and just how he goes about managing the people who play such an important part in so many younger (and older!) people’s lives. 
 
Not only that but Tyler is also full to the brim of knowledge and passion when it comes to working as a pantomime dame, and even recently completed a Christmas season with one half of this very podcast presenting pair – and somehow he’s lived to tell the tale! 
 
So tune in now to find out what Drew and Sam chatted about when they were visited by this enormously talented and highly professional performer who quite simply has show-business flowing in his veins!

Turning the Tables... AGAIN! 
  
  
 They’re at it again! Yup, this week Drew and Sam face their past guests for a second time, bringing us all another session of inverted interrogation - side note, wouldn’t that have been a better title?! Anyway... if you enjoyed the last episode as much as they did (I mean why wouldn’t you?!), this latest show is another treat for the ears and eyes, that proves just as popular with the boys as it does their previous visitors - judging by the fascinating range of questions demonstrated anyway!

The lads owe a huge amount to those that have graced the Drewling Samantics HQ with their presence, not only for giving up their valuable time to share their knowledge and talent in their own individual episodes, but in this case for contributing to these alternative style interviews. Reflective, honest, philosophical, technical, speculative, fun and personal are just a few types of answers that Drew and Sam reveal, and they may even learn some new things about each other while sharing with listeners and viewers too.

Our podcasting pair are pleased and proud to add this episode to Drewling Samantics’ tenth season, and, we’re sure all will agree, the quality just keeps coming.

West Meets East
 
 
There’s no telling where life might take you, especially if you are prepared to take a risk or two, and this week Drew and Sam welcome a guest who has certainly taken a few risks – and fortunately reaped the benefits as a result.
 
Matt Traylor is an international performer and acting coach who is particularly highly skilled when it comes to imparting knowledge and guidance upon others, and this talent has taken him on an extremely interesting and diverse path. He completed his training at the famous E15 drama school and then left to pursue his acting career in much the same way as many other young actors, but when a chance job application and a phone call out of the blue took Matt on a fascinating and life changing journey, his career really began in earnest. Curious? Well, join the Drewling Samantics boys as Matt explains more and shares some enlightening and startling facts about his trip. Sam and Matt also reminisce about their time working together on a show that stuck in both their memories - one that has been mentioned on the show before, but certainly not in this detail.
 
Another great guest and another fabulous Drewling Samantics episode, what more could you possibly want?!
