A.I – Automated Interference     Thirteen may be unlucky for some, but not for podcasting pair Drew and Sam as it just happens to be the number this episode represents in the current season. Speaking of Season Seven, this is actually the last time for a while that the chaps are getting together to bring us brand new content, but instead of seeing that as a negative it’s a case of looking on the br...

The Force Is Strong     Last Sunday the boys were having a bit of a moan, but Drew and Sam have nothing to complain about this week as they are joined by their latest guest, the brilliant Richard Stride.   The episode title is a bit of a giveaway to one of the many impressive things that Richard has been involved in, which of course will excite many Sci-Fi fans, but there is far more to him than b...

Room 101     It’s always good to get things off one’s chest, and in this episode of Drewling Samantics Drew and Sam seize the opportunity to do just that!

Deja Vu     “Never go back”. “Seen it all before”. “You can never have too much of a good thing”. “Unfinished business”.
