A Tonne Of Chat Over The Years
 
 
Today’s instalment of Drewling Samantics is an opportunity for the boys to celebrate and pat themselves on the back. Why? Well, they have simultaneously reached two very important milestones on their eventful podcast journey, yes indeed, this episode marks TWO YEARS of Drewling Samantics and is also the 99th release with the centenary episode coming next Sunday!
 
It seems hard to believe that two years have passed since Drew and Sam ventured onto the podcast airwaves for the first time, but since then there has been much chat, information, banter, laughter, debate and storytelling – a whole variety of content that, although initially designed to help combat the unwelcome guest and to conquer lockdown, has now expanded to serve many purposes, not least providing opportunities to hear from lots of other members of the performance world. Yes, the Drewling Samantics chaps have certainly not done it all on their own, forty-one guests have graced thirty-seven very special episodes and the boys thank them all.
 
A great deal has changed for everyone’s favourite podcasting pair and their industry over the past two years (as it has for many others) and they have enjoyed sharing their experiences with their followers and friends, but there is still much more to come as well as lots to celebrate in the future. So tune in and join Drew and Sam now as they reflect on two years and (nearly) 100 episodes of fun!

Represent
 
 
The passion performers have for their work and the pride they take in it are regular subjects for discussion on Drewling Samantics, and this week is by no means any different. Today Drew and Sam are joined by Reis Daniel, and it would be nigh on impossible to find a more hard working, passionate, and proud professional as him.
 
Reis is a talented and successful actor and comedian in his own right, but also an agent and writer, and being the dynamo full of energy and ideas that he clearly is benefits not just him but his clients and fellow performers too. Triumphs rarely come without trials or tribulations, and Reis is the first to admit that he has experienced some tough times, although thankfully rather than holding him back these have contributed to and enhanced his drive and principals. And, being that he is also not afraid to confront uncomfortable truths, Reis’ visit to the Drewling Samantics HQ is certain to result in fascinating and challenging conversation.
 
Ready to inspire thought and discussion, Drew, Sam and Reis share some frank and honest thoughts and opinions on this episode, where the overwhelming feeling is it’s good to talk, and to listen, so what are you waiting for?! Join the three of them now!

Deja Vu
 
 
“Never go back”. “Seen it all before”. “You can never have too much of a good thing”. “Unfinished business”. There is an endless list phrases that are appropriate when it comes to the numerous sequels and ‘reboots’ being produced in recent times. And that is what is at the forefront of discussion for Drew and Sam today, as they spend this episode picking over the news that some enormously successful TV shows are, or might be, returning after many years. As you probably would have guessed, both the Drewling Samantics chaps have mixed feelings and opinions that they aren’t afraid to voice, and while not everyone will agree with them it certainly makes for entertaining podcasting! And don’t worry that it may all be a bit serious, amongst the debating and discussion is plenty of the usual banter, leg pulling and laughter that is always present when Drew and Sam are together. So jump in, listen, watch and have your say too, whatever your opinion may be!

From Stage To Page
 
 
Once again Drew and Sam have a guest with them for today’s episode, and what a guest they have! Full of great stories and joie de vivre, Claire Harding joins the boys for a beverage and some brilliant chat.
 
Starting out in the industry as an actor, Claire met Drew in the early stages of both their careers, but nobody would ever suggest she is just an actor, as that simply isn’t true! Claire is a writer and biographer, researcher, coach and working mother, and somehow manages to juggle all these with ease and joy. And it is that joy in particular that shines through in her wonderful chat with the Drewling Samantics pair, as Claire talks about her day-to-day life and her professional career, with observations on early work, theatrical style, the enormous characters who played a big part in her story, and even whether or not it is right to sing with Sinatra…
 
So join them now to find out lots more, especially if your day is a little grey, as Drew, Sam and Claire are sure to add a few rays of sunshine.

Drawing Attention 
 
 
A picture paints a thousand words (or so the saying goes), and this week’s guest has been using imagery to complement the words of Drew and Sam for many an episode now. Nick Bannister is the third member of the Drewling Samantics team, and this week we’re all given a rare treat as PicNick, as he’s affectionately known, has temporarily stepped out from behind his metaphorical drawing board and onto the podcast airwaves, to join the boys for a chat. 
 
The secret weapon, the unsung hero, the third musketeer; call him what you will, PicNick provides the images for the podcast across its many platforms, and what an incredible job he does! It’s certainly no mean feat and as result he rightly draws praise (sorry) not only from Drew and Sam, but equally his many fans among the listeners and viewers of Drewling Samantics. In today’s show he chats to the gents about his influences, passions and the working methods he employs that so enhance the podcast and the many other interesting and varied projects he has worked on, so tune in now find out more, and keep an eye on the social platforms too for information, updates, and of course PicNick’s great images.

The Children are the Future
 
 
The seventh season of Drewling Samantics is in great shape, and this week’s episode is another excellent addition to it, with the boys on fine form as ever, jumping neatly through are variety subjects and news items. Industry developments, changes and proposals to working conditions, and some interesting comments from leading professionals - today’s show is certainly a mixed bag that inevitably sparks lively debate for Drew and Sam, and no doubt will inspire listeners and viewers alike to volunteer their opinions too.
 
And as if that wasn’t enough, the chaps also share their views regarding the training, treatment, and care of young performers - be they mega successful or less in the limelight. There may well be more discussion to come on these subjects in the future, but what is guaranteed is that there is more to come from Drewling Samantics, with another guest next week there will no doubt be plenty more sparkling chat and debate. Jump in now and enjoy the latest outing of everyone’s favourite podcasting pair!

BOOM! Headshot
 
 
Episode Two heralds the first guest of Season Seven (and indeed 2023!) and what a great visitor the chaps have beginning the roster of exciting people coming our way! Actor, photographer, tour guide and good friend and colleague to both Drew and Sam, Will Gillham, finds time in his busy and varied schedule to drop in for a chat with the boys.
 
Eagle-eyed YouTube viewers and podcast listeners with a keen memory will know that Will joined Drew and Sam (albeit briefly!) on an earlier episode for an on-location report during an interactive theatre show they all worked on, but since then he has toured extensively, started his own photography business, exercised his love of history as a London tour guide, and even found time to get married! All of these things are part of the conversation in today’s episode, as well as the perils of open-air theatre, and why it is extremely important to always “bend at the knees”…
 
Want to know more? Of course you do! So join Drew, Sam and Will now, and you could even take advantage of a rather special offer from today’s lovely guest!

Reunited and Resolutions
 
 
And just as if they never went away, Drew and Sam are back, hitting the podcast world with another instalment of Drewling Samantics. But this is not just any episode, no - this is the first episode of 2023, and also the first episode of Season Seven!
 
After six stunning seasons, Drewling Samantics is back, and determined to be bigger (well maybe not in Drew’s case!) and better. After a quick catch up regarding their busy festive activities (the reason behind the pause to all their podcast fun), the boys move on to the delights they have in store for us over the forthcoming weeks of this their seventh season. With more chat, guests, news and events from the entertainment world, including some potential road trips and on location interviews, Drew and Sam are resolved (sorry) to bring the best they can to all their followers, subscribers and fans - both old and new. So, join the chaps and raise a glass, to a fantastic new season!
