Feels Good to be Back, Dozen It Finally the wait is over... they are back! Yes, the Drewling Samantics boys have returned for their much anticipated and eagerly awaited twelfth season!

Season Eleven – Best of Guests What an outstanding array of visitors it is that has graced Drewling Samantics this season!

41:27

Three Shows are Better than One The wonderful thing about the entertainment business is the opportunities and challenges it presents, and the joy that is to be had in enjoying and conquering them. If it weren’t for enterprising and creative people it could be said there would be no ‘Arts’. This week’s guest is a perfect example of just that – Su Gi…

48:05

A Hand in Everything Guest week has arrived again on Drewling Samantics, and a treat is in store for all podcast fans and followers. This week’s visitor Roman Stefanski is an actor, director and puppeteer, however, those titles are far too vague for a performer who inspires others and breathes life into seemingly inanimate objects.

55:43

Behind the Lens It’s guest time for the first time this season, and the Drewling Samantics boys are delighted to be joined this week by the brilliant Gary-Anthony Rogers.

Eleventh Heaven “In numerology, the number eleven is not just any number; it’s considered a master number.

33:24

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 oo…

Turning the Tables Drew and Sam promised something different for this week’s show and they’ve certainly hit that brief!

51:35

You’ll Find Him in the Theatre Section Drew and Sam started this podcast way back in the dark days of ‘the unwelcome guest’, when lockdown was upon us and performers and associated industries were struggling to survive.

The One That Got Away There has been quite a lot going on in the industry recently for Drew and Sam to cast their eyes over and pick apart.

S09E07 - Multiple Personalities 38:24

1y ago38:24

38:24

Multiple Personalities A major contributor to the joy of acting for many performers, is the variety in moving from part to part and becoming new characters on the way. Sometimes that diversity and role changing can even happen in the same production - doubling, trebling or more; and it’s fair to say that proving a greater number of characters than …

Fighting Fit for Film As per the famous Guinness slogan: “Good things come to those who wait” (other stouts and mottos are available!) and Drew and Sam have had to wait a while for this week’s guest to be able to find a slot in his incredibly full diary to join them. But safe to say the brilliant Michael Hoad is more than worth the wait. An interna…
