Drewling Samantics

Turning the Tables
 
 
Drew and Sam promised something different for this week’s show and they’ve certainly hit that brief! The shoe is on the other foot, the roles have been reversed, they’ve given it the ol’ switcheroo – however you want to put it, this newest Drewling Samantics episode sees the lads putting themselves in the position usually occupied by their wonderful guests, as it is they who are being quizzed and questioned today!
 
Yes as part of this latest podcast we are treated to a form of video interrogation from a selection of previous visitors that has Drew and Sam thinking deeply, as they answer all sorts of intriguing questions regarding their lives and careers, both their professional and personal opinions on certain topics, and more - there’s even a chance for them to delve into the spiritual and philosophical too!
 
It’s an absolute pleasure to see some old faces putting the chaps on the spot, but with so many amazing guests over the past few years how have the boys managed to fit it all in? Well there’s an answer to that too, but it can only be revealed by listening or watching. So join Drew, Sam and a whole host of industry professionals now, and, if you are a YouTube viewer, stick around to the end for a rather specials video contribution from editing genius Phillip Lee. Enjoy!

Never Work a Day in Your Life
 
 
Drew and Sam are back for another week of news and chat, and another brilliant and talented guest!
 
To start with the boys bring updates up on industry news affecting actors and musicians that they’d previously discussed on Drewling Samantics, and talk about the increasing influence and hard work of the actors’ union Equity, reflecting on the mechanics of the industry - both positive and negative.
 
But that is swiftly followed by something that is 100% positive - the visit of the wonderful Tony Jopia, a successful and passionate filmmaker who has been devoted to his craft since he was a mere whippersnapper! Just how young Tony was when bitten by the film bug is impressive, and the story of his early life and career is fascinating. Fast forward to now, and with no sign of stopping and some very heartfelt and personal projects on the slate, Tony certainly is a delight to listen to.
 
So yet again another fabulous episode not to be misses, along with a little hint at an equally interesting episode to come next week, apparently they might be changing things up a bit...!

Stagey-stitious
 
 
So after a few weeks of trying Drew and Sam have finally managed it, they’re back together to record an episode in the same room! And what’s more is the chaps are even both on the beers, there really is no holding back – but let’s be honest, when have they ever?! It certainly is a full on show too, with plenty of delicate controversy to discuss as they revisit two old news stories that have come back round with further developments, and are certain to provoke a fair few comments (which of course is thoroughly encouraged!)
 
The boys then move on to lighter matters, and dive into solving a few questions around some well-known (and a few less common) theatrical superstitions and sayings used in the entertainment world. Why are “legs broken”? How come no one whistles? And are the French really being rude when they shout “Merde” on opening night?! These and others are addressed, and, whatever the answers, it’s certain Drew and Sam won’t be saying M*cbeth anytime soon...!
 
So make the most of the Drewling Samantics pair being back together in person, as sadly they’ll return to behind their respective computer screens for the next episode. However they will be joined by a new and exciting guest, so join them now, and join them then!

Mixing It Up
 
 
Season Ten is moving along very nicely, and to add considerable pace to Drew and Sam’s second outing of the year is their first guest of the season. Joining our podcasting pair this week is the brilliant Allan Turner-Ward, a man with so many strings to his bow he’s practically a one-man orchestra!
 
Allan has travelled the world, from his boyhood home in Bournemouth to America, Europe, the Middle-East and beyond, and then back again, spreading music and entertainment all the way throughout his journey. As a music producer, DJ and performer he follows his passion and dreams wherever they may lead, and has formed boy bands and groups, written a number one hit record in Europe, worked for Disney studios, been a semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent and even worked on The Apprentice in the US for Donald Trump!
 
A fascinating and fast paced episode is what Allan and the boys deliver this week, definitely not to be missed.

It’s here - the hugely anticipated and long awaited (even longer than expected to be fair!) return of Drewling Samantics! Yes Drew, Sam and of course PicNick are back, and just in case the episode title is slightly too cryptic, they are back for Season Ten. Double figures, who would have thunk it?!
 
There’s a little catching up to do first after a busy Christmas period spent as Santa Claus and pantomime villain for Drew and Sam respectively, and then back to business Drewling Samantics style! There’s plenty to discuss, despite it being so early in the year, including the first of the big awards ceremonies, the Golden Globes, and the powerful, provocative and extremely topical drama “Mr Bates versus the Post Office”. And on top of that the boys hint at plans for forthcoming episodes, with lots of new guests, new subjects, and even new features promised, to keep all fans and followers joining them throughout the forthcoming weeks.
 
So keep the comments and requests coming as Drew and Sam love hearing from subscribers, and of course, keep listening and watching!

Season Nine – Best of Drew & Sam
 
 
Drew and Sam are clearly feeling quite reflective this week, and that’s rather convenient as it’s the final episode of the season, which in turn means it’s one of their most enjoyable tasks, where they look back over all the shows of Season Nine and choose their favourite moments and clips for us to relish!
 
The past fifteen weeks have certainly been full to the brim with interesting discussions, funny stories, in-depth debates, and everything else in between, so there was definitely a huge amount of content for the boys to wade through and select their highlights from – which they do rather well if we may say so! With topics ranging from alternative jobs and extreme weather, all the way to ingenious inventions and (almost!) getting caught short, there is a cracking variety of chat to revisit with plenty for everyone to enjoy.
 
So why not see out this season in style, by joining the Drewling Samantics chaps to relive some tantalising podcasting titbits – there’s also no better way to get ready for the brand new season which begins early next year. 2023, you’ve been a blast!

Season Nine – Best of Guests
 
The Drewling Samantics boys say it every time, because they really mean it every time – they are enormously grateful to the fantastic group of guests that have joined them this season!
 
Looking back, which is exactly what this special highlights episode is all about, there seems to have been a theme to the guests across Season Nine, in that they are all taking action to make a change. First guest Lisa Reisner left her own country and learned a whole new language or two to move her career on, action indeed. Second visitor all-action martial artist Michael Hoad, furthered his loves of both physical training and acting by combining the two. Next, Simon Floyd spoke about taking action in his community (and in others) to make theatre with a message. Episode eight’s Kevin “Krazy Kev” Agget moved from ‘Red Coat’ to children’s performer and panto producer so is certainly all about action in the theatre and on stage. Terry Hayden sprung into action when he saw his local theatre about to close and is making big waves - there is still work to do but there will be a pantomime this Christmas! And last, but no means least, Gareth Locke stuntman and actor graced Drewling Samantics HQ, and he is a man for whom inactivity would be impossible and unheard of!
 
So, time for fans and followers to take action as well, and revisit some great moments from the exciting and talented guests of Season Nine.

It’s Good To Talk 
 
 
Sadly, this week’s episode of Drewling Samantics marks the beginning of the end for another season. But, as the boys remind us, there is still a little more left before we finally say farewell - and of course there’s another season rapidly approaching too. Enough to put a smile on the face of even the grumpiest podcaster! 
 
That said, it isn’t all smiles this week, with the lads dipping into far more serious areas and discussing mental and physical health within the industry. Looking after yourself and fellow performers is very important, and the issue, as past and more recent events prove, is something that is never too far away from any of us – regardless of the role you 
hold with the world of entertainment. The clown hiding their tears is an old cliché, but is perhaps more true than any of us may be comfortable to admit. Drew and Sam offer their own experiences and delicately pick apart a subject that deserves revisiting. 
 
Talking of revisiting (it wouldn’t be Drewling Samantics without a good segue!) the next two outing for the boys will be a chance for fans and followers to enjoy top moments from this season, in the two eagerly awaited ‘Best Of’ shows. So check out today’s episode, then tune in for the highlights compilations, starting next week with “Season Nine - Best of Guests”.

Locked and Loaded
 
 
Feeling a bit sluggish? Lacking motivation? Need a touch of excitement? Drewling Samantics has just the cure, or rather, just the guest for you. This week the boys welcome Gareth Locke, actor, stunt performer, and absolute bundle of energy! Along with brilliant performances in major movies and independent films, Gareth is working towards perhaps one of the most respected and elusive qualifications in the creative industries - becoming a fully fledged member of the British Stunt Register.
 
He explains how the register is constructed, and how the current and aspiring members, better known as ‘stunties’, specialise in several disciplines suited to their skills and strengths. To say he pursues his ambition non-stop is no exaggeration, training when not working and never seeming to relax, so we can all be certain his success is only a short time away – a matter of when, not if. He is also a man with a personal philosophy about work that has obviously paid off as his recent appearances (both those he can talk about, and those he has to remain tight-lipped on) very much prove...
 
Drew and Sam thoroughly enjoy meeting and chatting to this young man, and all listeners and viewers are sure to as well. So make the most of this final guest of Season Nine, and eagerly await his almost guaranteed return at a later date to reveal those tantalising professional secrets.

If I Were Not Upon The Stage
 
 
The chaps at Drewling Samantics take all subject matter very seriously, always do appropriate research, gather all the facts possible, and bring their thorough findings and views to us listeners and viewers. This week in particular this is rather obvious, as one of the boys has perhaps enjoyed that process a little too much (if that’s such a thing) but interestingly enough it connects rather well to some industry greats who have sadly exited stage left. As it turns out, when they are paying their tributes, one half of the podcasting pair reveals that some of the recently departed could have ended up with quite different careers instead of their stage and screen successes, and following this trail means Drew and Sam are able to discuss a, perhaps larger than expected, extended list of actors and creatives, who aspired to other futures, or enjoyed surprising alternative careers before becoming the people we recognise now.
 
We’re all sure to be as surprised and fascinated by these facts as the lads are as they discover them (one before the other of course!), but as Drewling Samantics is all about bringing different content and exciting guests week after week, it is certainly not out of the ordinary - what more encouragement is needed?!
