Description
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.

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 a...
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 survi...
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 se...
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, an...
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 wo...
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 bu...
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, sp...
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 t...
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...
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-t...
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 mornin...
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 thei...
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 t...
In The Spotlight This week there’s a VIE (Very Important Episode) coming from Drewling Samantics HQ, and not just because Drew and Sam are tackling a rather serious subject. Why then? Well, insert fanfare here - today’s is the two hundredth show! Yes, they said it couldn’t be done, there was no future, the boys must be fools… well actually no one said anything of the sort, but nonetheless our podcasting pair, along with their multitude of fabulous guests, have quietly t...
The Heart of the Matter The Drewling Samantics boys are back once again with another cracking episode, and to make things even better they are joined by another fabulous guest this week who drops in with an amazing story to tell! Syed Jawad is a film-maker, musician, songwriter and YouTube content creator, and, despite being relatively new to the industry, he certainly isn’t hanging around when it comes to making progress! Prior to immersing himself in th...
Play It Again Sam? Our podcasting pair are in an inquisitive mood this week, firing questions at each other and delving into past roles and shows. Drewling Samantics followers may remember the boys previously discussing some of the favourite plays and parts they’ve enjoyed, and it just so happens that Drew had the opportunity to revisit one of his most fondly remembered during his recent “rep” season. But was it as good as last time? And how does Sam feel about repeating a role...
CrackerJack Everybody loves a good podcast guest, but a good guest isn’t what’s on the menu this week on Drewling Samantics, as describing the first visitor of Season Fourteen as merely “good” would be quite the insult! Yes, today the boys are thrilled to welcome the immensely talented and rather bloody brilliant Mr Jack Tyler Fisher to the show. Jack, like many of the highly-skilled friends of the podcast, is a multi-faceted creative: musician, actor, and wri...
Ten-Four Good Buddies Fourteen isn’t normally considered to be a particularly significant number. It’s not the first teenage year, it’s more than a Baker’s Dozen, it isn’t associated with bad luck or other superstitions, and from a mathematical point of view it doesn’t really have many special numerical characteristics. But to Drew and Sam, everyone’s favourite podcast presenters, it is a rather important number indeed. And yes, you’ve guessed why - the boys ar...
Season Thirteen – Best of Drew & Sam What do you possibly do after enjoying one hundred and ninety-four episodes of a fantastic podcast? Well, you dive right in to the one hundred and ninety-fifth episode of course! Yes, the boys at Drewling Samantics have reached their final show of Season Thirteen, and it just so happens to be a compilation of their highlights, better known as the Best of Drew & Sam! Today’s episode contains all the greatest moments ...
Season Thirteen – Best of Guests Sadly we’re nearly there, the end of Season Thirteen. But Drew and Sam would never leave us hanging, and as is customary in the latter stages of a season, they’ve managed to take an entertaining dip into all Season Thirteen’s guest episodes, and assembled a selection of prize moments for us to re-live and re-enjoy. It seems immensely tricky trying to squeeze so many great moments into one episode, but our podcasting pair have a...
