With over 25 years of experience in film, television, and commercial production, Andy has cultivated an enduring passion for storytelling in all its forms. His enthusiasm for the craft began in his youth when he and his friends started making their own movies in grade school. After studying film at the University of Colorado Boulder, Andy wrote, directed, and produced several short films while also producing indie features like Netherbeast Incorporated and Ambush at Dark Canyon.
Andy has been on the production team for award-winning documentaries such as The Imposter and The Joe Show, as well as TV shows like Investigation Discovery’s Deadly Dentists and Nat Geo’s Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers. Over a decade ago, he started podcasting with Pete and immediately embraced the medium. Now, as a partner at TruStory FM, Andy looks forward to more storytelling through their wide variety of shows.
Throughout his career, Andy has passed on his knowledge by teaching young minds the crafts of screenwriting, producing, editing, and podcasting.
Outside of work, Andy is a family man who enjoys a good martini, a cold beer, a nice cup o’ joe. And always, of course, a great movie.

We return to our David Fincher series to discuss his 2020 look at Old Hollywood, politics, and the behind-the-scenes story of the writing of Citizen Kane, whether it’s true or not. It’s the film he made based on his dad’s screenplay, Mank.
Imagine a social media landscape where you own your content, not some tech overlord. A place where links aren’t suppressed, and algorithms don’t dictate what you see. Sounds like a utopian dream… or is it Bluesky?
We wrap up our ‘Spoiled. Rotten? Twist Endings’ series with a film that took us both by surprise. It’s Bigas Luna’s 1987 horror film Anguish, and let’s just say it’s one about which you should go into knowing as little as possible.
We continue our ‘Spoiled. Rotten? Twist Endings’ series with a bloody fun film about an axe-wielding mother back for some family bonding. It’s Joan Crawford in William Castle’s 1964 film Strait-Jacket!
Screenwriter and podcast host Adam “Tex” Davis joins Andy to take a macroscopic look at the comedy genre in cinema – from silent-era slapstick to modern genre-bending hits, exploring how filmmakers have used laughter to both entertain and challenge audiences.
The future of podcasting isn’t just about tools and metrics—it’s about people. In a world of endless content and dwindling attention, it’s time to experiment, innovate, and create formats born for the medium. What does it mean to be the “human in the middle,” balancing the efficiency of AI with the irreplaceable authenticity of human creativity?
Cinematographer and underwater director of photography Ian Seabrook joins us to talk about the complexities of filming underwater, working on his latest film Last Breath, and about Thunderball, one of his favorite movies.
We continue our season-long member bonus Roger Corman series with a look at one of the eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptions he did with American International Pictures, their incredibly successful film The Pit and the Pendulum.
We return to our ‘Spoiled. Rotten? Twist Endings’ series with a film that certainly lives up to the idea of having plenty of twists and turns. We’re talking about Wolfgang Petersen’s 1991 film Shattered.
We wrap up our 1968 Crime Films series with a conversation about Anthony Mann’s final film, A Dandy in Aspic, in which Laurence Harvey plays a double agent hired by one side to kill his other side’s alter ego.
