Sunday’s episode was all about thinking back to previous performances and discussing whether we’d want to have another go at certain roles and shows. Were they unmatchable? Or are there elements we’d like to experience again or improve upon? Check it out and see what we thought!

Sometimes one (or both) of us work with someone, and we immediately know they’d be a brilliant, entertaining and fun guest on the podcast. Well that is definitely true for this week’s visitor, so you’ll have to tune in Sunday to find out who it is and how the meeting came about!

Today’s guest Syed Jawad is a film-maker, musician, songwriter and content creator, and despite being fairly new to the industry, he’s not hanging around when it comes to progress! Tune in to hear how a life changing event resulted in him becoming the amazing person he is today!

Drew and I were joined by the brilliant Syed Jawad on Sunday, a man I had the pleasure of working with recently, and who was able to tell us, among many other fascinating things, about the distressing and shocking event which (fortunately) has had a very positive outcome for him

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, or disagreeing if you’re willing to discuss and hear each other’s views. There’s a rather big debate happening in our industry at the moment, find out on Sunday which side Sam and I are on, and if we agree with one another!

Sometimes things happen you can barely believe - today is one of those times... we’ve reached 200 episodes! It’s been a long journey but we’ve enjoyed every minute. And now why not tune into today’s latest show for an important discussion about a very current industry development

We celebrated a big milestone on Sunday - the release of our 200th episode! It’s quite the achievement, but we’ve just discovered it was accompanied by another... we’ve now clocked over 25,000 downloads! This podcast just keeps on making us smile, we hope it does you too!

The list of specialties and interesting (but perhaps less celebrated) roles within the performance industry seems almost endless, and this week’s guest does yet another unique and very important job. Join us and our lovely visitor Sunday to find out who they are and what they do!

Whether you’re a regular listener or viewer, or a newcomer, today’s guest episode is sure to be a treat! Tilly Burrows is a hugely talented dresser working on the musical Hamilton, join us to find out more her and another relatively unsung but essential job in the theatre world!

Many amazing people help make theatre the incredible art form it is, without actually stepping on stage. Last Sunday’s guest Tilly Burrows is one such talented and important individual - find out about the world of quick changes and all the other things she does by tuning in now!

October has arrived, bringing with it “Spooky Season”! Historically, Sam and I tend to be very busy during this time of year, and 2025 will certainly be no different, but worry not, we’ll still find time to bring you plenty of brand new (hopefully not too scary) podcast content!

Improvisation is a hugely important and highly entertaining part of theatre and various other performing arts. Today the boys chat about their own experiences where improv (as it’s known) played a major part - including auditions, rehearsals, and even some performances themselves

Sunday’s show was (metaphorically speaking) all about being thrown in at the deep end! We talked about improvisation in the performance industry - from the immense skill required to do it well, to just how brilliant a tool it can be. Check it out now and see what we had to say!

A lot of our guests have multiple strings to their respective bows, and our visitor this week certainly doesn’t limit himself to one specialty either! Tune in on Sunday to meet a very talented, knowledgeable, and brilliant chap, who’s travelled (virtually) a long way to see us!

Professor Albert Bramante joins us this week to talk about the psychology and mindset of actors. Also a trained clinical hypnotist, Albert’s focus is the performance industry, and is even an agent and casting director to boot! Tune in now to hear more about this fascinating man!

The Doctor will see you now... Well actually he paid us a visit on Sunday! Yes we were honoured to have the company of the wonderful Dr Albert Bramante last week, who chatted to us about his work across many areas of the industry and how he’s combined some very different careers!

Forget autumn, the weather seems to think it’s winter already! OK, so maybe we’re overreacting a little, but the temperature certainly has dropped considerably! Maybe that’s an excuse to stay inside in and check out the latest episode of Drewling Samantics - not a bad shout hey?!

One joy of being an actor is the variety of personalities and characters and, in-turn, the costumes and “disguises” we are lucky enough to experience. In today’s show we talk about all kinds of outfits, why they are important, and the related challenges that they sometimes bring!

There were some we enjoyed wearing, some that are iconic, some that look extremely difficult to get into, some better forgotten, and even some we hope to have the opportunity to don one day. What are they? Costumes of course! And that was our topic on Sunday, so check it out now!

The word “creative” has become a common way of referring to someone in the world of performing arts, and our upcoming guest is a multi-skilled creative who showcases their skills through many platforms and formats. Why not tune in Sunday to find out who they are and what they do!
