Drewling Samantics

Well that’s Season Fifteen well and truly done, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did? It’s time for us to take a sort break but don’t worry, we’ll be back before you know it. As always thank you all for your support, have a fantastic few weeks and we’ll see you in the summer!

The final piece of the Season Fifteen puzzle is in place - our “Best of Drew and Sam” episode is out now! Tune in as soon as you can to find out which of our favourite moments from the past three and a bit months made it into today’s highlights show - it really has been a blast!

Sadly, there’s only one more episode of Drewling Samantics left this season, but it’s going to be a cracker and we’ll certainly be going out with a bang, we can promise you that! Join us on Sunday for our Season Fifteen finale - our amazing “Best of Drew and Sam” highlights show!

Did you enjoy reliving some of the amazing moments from our various visitor episodes in our Best of Guests show on Sunday? We certainly loved putting it together for you all. And if you haven’t checked it out yet, then what are you waiting for?! Dive in now before it’s too late!

Entertaining, inspiring, interesting - these are just some of the superlatives that can be used to describe Season Fifteen guests Emily Juler, Tom Capper, Kim Scopes, Tommy Murray, Christophe Philipps, Vittorio Verta and Liz Garland, all of whom feature in today’s Best Of show!

“Guess Who” will be joining us on the show this weekend?! Well actually if you’ve tuned in to any or all of our brilliant guest episodes this season, you’ll be more than familiar with some of the voices and faces we’ll be revisiting in our upcoming Best Of Guests highlights show!

The old adage is when you’re not working, you’re waiting by the phone. In reality that’s far from the truth and on Sunday Drew and I chatted about planning for those occasions where work isn’t quite as busy as it could be, and how you go about dealing with being in that situation

Dealing with “less busy” periods isn’t always easy, but it’s a part of the industry all performers have to address, and equally can be part of the excitement for what comes next. In today’s show we discuss coping with these times, and how we plan for what is (or isn’t!) to come

Come on then, admit it - did anyone else overindulge a little during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend?! Sam and I may have sampled a chocolate egg or two but don’t worry, we’ll still be fighting fit for our next episode this Sunday! Join us then for some healthy banter and debate!

When you create your own work you can often end up undertaking many creative roles - both performing and otherwise. Someone who knows all about this is our latest fabulous guest, Liz Garland, who is just about to embark on a tour - check out Sunday’s episode to find out more!

We have both had the pleasure of working with today’s guest, the wonderful Liz Garland, and she’s crossed paths with a few of our previous guests too, but being the in-demand actor, writer, producer and coach she is, it’s certainly no wonder! Listen or watch now to join the fun!

We have talked before about creating your own work in this industry, and this week’s guest probably knows more about that than most. To find out who is joining us, and what more they can tell us about being on both creative sides of the industry, make sure you join us on Sunday!

Unfortunately there was no Drewling Samantics episode last week as Drew has moved to Timbuktu for the foreseeable future. Only joking - it’s April Fool’s Day! Of course there was an episode, and it was all about our Oscars predictions, how the ceremony went, and a whole lot more!

In today’s show we assess the Oscar predictions we made a few episodes ago. It’s no surprise that we were right on some and wrong on others, but it definitely results in an interesting look at how awards ceremonies are presented, received and used. Join us now to find out more!

Sunday brings something we dread in the UK, the clocks go forward so we have to adjust all the timers in the house and we all lose an hour of sleep! There is good news however, a brand new episode of Drewling Samantics coming to help ease the pain - so make sure you join us then!

Vittorio Verta really does light up our lives! As a seasoned lighting designer and programmer, he’s travelled all over the world honing his craft, transforming the performance areas of actors, singers and other stage artists. He told us all about his career on last week’s episode

Acting is just one of the many parts that make a show, and today’s guest specialises in an often underappreciated, but no less important part. From musicals, to plays and full scale music tours, Vittorio Verta is a genius in the world of lighting. Meet him and find out more, now!

This week’s guest is highly experienced and talented in a field that we haven’t talked a huge amount about on Drewling Samantics previously, but it’s extremely important, impressive and interesting! To find out what it is, and who our next brilliant guest is, join us on Sunday!

Are you a YouTube viewer, and if so did you enjoy the special “new look” to our last episode? Whether your preferred format is video or audio, we’re sure you enjoyed our chat about collaborations in the performance industry - if you haven’t tuned in yet now is the perfect time!

YouTube viewers are treated to what can only be described as a visual feast this week, as an old friend of the pod’ helped us record a special in-person episode. Coincidentally, our main topic of conversation is collaboration - how appropriate! Tune in and hear or see more now
