Drewling Samantics

Full Steam Ahead Our podcasting pair certainly are having a busy summer, with numerous projects and productions, self-tapes, assignments and castings taking up their time (not forgetting cheering on England in the World Cup!) Someone else who is just as busy - and similarly revelling in the opportunities - is this week’s guest, Paul Andrew Goldsmith. An actor, writer, director, producer and voiceover artist, Paul is another creative who seizes every possible chance to work and ...

Northern Powerhouse Your favourite Sunday Podcast is steaming ahead, and today Drew and Sam bring us their second episode, and first guest, of Season Sixteen. A recurring colleague of both our podcasting pair, and, despite even having worked with the two of them together on occasion, strangely still willing to appear on the show with them, the brilliant Ian Archdeacon leaps onto our screens and into our ears from Drewling Samantics HQ! The chaps often talk about...

Certain Uncertainty Drewling Samantics Season Fifteen is on the brink of completion, with only the always enjoyable “Best Of” episodes to come after this week, before Drew and Sam take a break from podcasting and run off for some performing adventures. They are sure they will both have a fabulous time on their upcoming projects, but, enjoyable as they no doubt will be, the chaps are also certain that gigs like these will go by extremely quickly (or it will feel like that a...

Hopes, Hosts and Hoorays The Drewling Samantics boys are playing catch up this week, having got together with friend of the pod Phillip Lee a fortnight ago to record an episode in style, and actually getting the chance to work together in person on a immersive job last week, as well as welcoming the brilliant Vittorio Verta to the show, this latest outing finally provides the opportunity for the chaps to look back at the Oscar predictions they made a few episodes ago...

You Scratch My Back An episode about collaboration, brought to you by means of a collaboration! This week Drew and Sam are joined (albeit hiding behind all his fancy technical gear!) by past Drewling Samantics guest Phillip Lee, who, using his talents as a videographer and creator, helps record this latest podcast appearance of the boys at Sam’s flat - a rare but always welcomed in-person meeting for our presenting pair! Drew and Sam have previously discussed ...

High Five Whether you’re a regular listener, a sporadic viewer, a past guest, or a relative newcomer, you may not realise that this has been a rather momentous week for Drewling Samantics - the show is five years old! That’s right, for half a decade Drew and Sam have been delighting (or disappointing, depending on your point of view - although if you’ve come back for more, it certainly can’t be the latter!) visitors to their podcast, and they couldn’t be prouder of what th...

The Chicken or the Egg Film? Book? Play? TV? No, despite how it may appear, Drew and Sam aren’t playing charades on Drewling Samantics this week; however there are some questions to be asked, and they’re certainly doing their best to make sure they answer them! Many of us will have watched a production on stage or screen, and wondered where the idea first came from. Equally, reading a book often generates the thought that the subject matter would make a great ...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...
