Mel & Sam: The Origin Story (Part 1)

Hi angels!! Today is a really special episode. We are taking a gorgeous little trot down memory lane to tell you the story (in depth this time!) of how we met and how we came to be creative partners in life! We tell you everything about how we met, our first impressions of each other, the exactitudes of how we first became collaborators and where it all started (spoiler alert, it was 2018). We also touch on our first cabaret ideas, Sam being Mel’s agent, our oddly parallel experiences at music school and so much more. We hope you enjoy this nostalgic deep dive as much as we did, and hopefully it answers some questions about who the hell we are and what it is we love to do together! We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day. Okay! Love you, bye!xxMel & Sam —You can watch the full video form of this episode on YouTube HERE: https://youtube.com/@themelandsam?si=jzeN-E_-DcE-DGHSHere’s the link to the Ratbag Chatbag!https://ig.me/j/AbZXnq4ipW10Ynq3/Follow Mel & Sam on Instagram (@themelandsam) to keep up with all things pod, live shows and other nonsense.
