You can also hear Andrew on-air daily as the local host for Here and Now, Fresh Air, and The World.
Before joining the staff of WKSU, Andrew was previously assistant news director at WBGO-FM in Newark, NJ. Along with his management duties there, he also anchored afternoon drive time news, reported on local and regional stories and hosted a monthly call-in program with then-Newark Mayor Cory Booker, among others. Before he became a full-time staff member at WBGO in 1998, he worked as a freelance reporter/producer in the New York metropolitan area. He was also a stringer for a number of networks including NPR, ABC Radio and AP Radio.
During his career, Andrew has been recognized with a number of awards, including, nationally, from the Public Radio News Directors Inc.
