Drewling Samantics

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Literarily Laughing 
 
 
A gentleman of letters joins Drewling Samantics as this week’s fabulous guest. Ralph Jones is a journalist, author, script writer and comedian, and as if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, he also crops up on various platforms as a performer and contributor. How does he fit it all in?! 
 
Fortunately he’s full of energy, and to aid in keeping all his plates spinning as it were, Ralph has a great knack of seeing the world from a different and often very funny angle. His writing has appeared in national newspapers and magazines around the world, and he’s had the pleasure (mostly!) of interviewing celebrities and personalities of all kinds, feeding them many interesting and challenging questions, and receiving some interesting and challenging responses in return!  His books are both funny and enlightening, lifting the lid on delightful unknown hobbies and professions, and inventing new unusual places that it is more than a joy to “visit”. 
 
Erudite, witty and charming Ralph is another wonderful guest Drew and Sam are delighted to interview and share with their listeners and viewers. Oh and just as a side note, Ralph has a knack for winning competitions, with his most recent prize making for a surprising and complicated addition to his life... Well there’s only one way to find out more about that, so what are you waiting for?!

What On Earth Are You Wearing? 
 
 
Drew and Sam are back for another instalment of chat and banter, so, having both engaged in a very busy week of work related travelling, they hang up their coats and settle in for a bit podcast fun. Today’s meeting sees the chaps taking the opportunity to discuss dressing up for a living - in other words, costume and wardrobe! 
 
One of the great joys of being an actor is clearly the variety of personalities and characters and, in-turn, the costumes and “disguises” one might be lucky enough to experience. As the boys reveal, the options are limitless, including favourite costumes, those that are essential or cannot be avoided simply because of who the character is, and even outfits the actor gets to create themselves. Equally there are also circumstances where the costume isn’t easy to wear, take a lot of preparation to get ready or into, and many have other challenges of their own, but, as is the case in many aspects of this unusual vocation, variety is the spice of life, and for our podcasting pair the positives seem to almost always outweigh the negatives! 
 
So tune in as yet another fascinating subject is tackled by the Drewling Samantics chaps, and feel free to do so in whatever guise you wish to adopt!

All in the Mind 
 
 
Another week means another guest, but any suggestion that that brings an element of repetition is nonsense, as today’s episode is far from boring or run of the mill! You see today the Drewling Samantics boys welcome a guest with a difference - he’s very much a part of the industry, but has a unique combination of skills that you could say put a very different slant on things! 
 
Professor Albert Bramante joins Drew and Sam very early in the morning from America to talk about the psychology and mindset of actors. The proud owner of a PHD in Psychology, and also a trained clinical hypnotist, Albert is immersed in the performance industry too, having performed previously himself, and is even an agent and casting director to boot! So, if anyone can work out what is going through an actor’s mind while working (and equally not working), Albert is your man! 
 
Fiercely intelligent and knowledgeable in his field, he also loves working with and being in the company of actors, and his seemingly endless expertise mean he’s able to give some fascinating and informative insights into what he does and why. His generous and caring nature reveals how he continues to help and guide actors to better performances and healthier lives “off stage”, and this invaluable advice is something he makes available and accessible to all. 
 
So what are you waiting for?! Dive straight in to this latest fabulous episode to find out a whole lot more from this hugely intellectual and entertaining gentleman.

Self Improv-ment
 
 
Despite careful pre-planning and in-depth discussion, Drew and Sam readily admit that it may at times look as if they are making things up on the spot. In fact the content they bring us is frequently sporadic and “off-the-cuff”, but actually it’s fair to say that that’s part of the joy of Drewling Samantics. Yes, regardless of how much prep they’ve done, our podcast presenters never truly know for sure what will happen - especially when entertaining one of their fire-cracker guests! This week’s episode doesn’t have a visitor to bring unpredictability, so instead Drew and Sam (ironically) are making things up about making things up - it’s time to talk improvisation!
 
Improvisation is a very important and, more often than not, highly entertaining part of theatre, dance, comedy and various other performing arts. It can even be planned to some extent, which seems a weird contradiction, but improvisation shows and shows, sometimes focusing around a theme, are growing more and more popular, with a large part of the thrill is that audiences get to enjoy being part of or affecting the action. There are even plays and films that have been developed purely around improvisation, which in turn can result in something quite spectacular. Today the boys chat about their own experiences, from shows where improvisation played a major part, to those auditions and rehearsals where ‘improv’ (as it is commonly known) has been an important element.
 
So join the chaps now for another excellent episode that they couldn’t have planned better really - a show made up of making things up (and if that’s not Drewling Samantics we don’t know what is!)

Dress to Impress 
 
 
Whether you are a regular listener or viewer, or a relative newcomer to the podcast, this week’s episode is sure to be quite the treat, as the delightful and talented Tilly Burrows joins Drew and Sam for a chat. Tilly is a theatre professional and creative currently working in yet another field of the business that gets less coverage (excuse the slight pun!) than it deserves - it’s even a subject the Drewling Samantics boys haven’t really covered despite their many season of content! 
 
Tilly is a dresser, and has worked for the past couple of years on the smash hit musical Hamilton. Her vital job includes making actors look good, expediting quick changes, and managing costume maintenance - and just in case any of her colleagues should be unavailable for whatever reason, she learns all the other dressers’ “tracks” as well! It’s safe to say it’s quite a unique role, and without her skill, and that of those working alongside her (and on many, many other productions), the actors would be pretty drab and well behind the action! A combination of infinite patience, good humour and stamina are just a few of the essential skills that Tilly has in abundance, then add to that her theatrical brain and extensive experience in multiple disciplines (despite being so young), and it’s no surprise she excels in her integral role within the backstage team. 
 
So join Drew and Sam today, as they chat with another of the industry’s unseen, unsung, but essential cogs in the performance machine, and find out more about why Tilly is another fabulous guest whose invaluable contributions are appreciated by actors and audiences alike.
