Q & A with Andre from The CherryPickin Podcast


When did you start podcasting?

I started podcasting more regularly in 2018.

Why did you start podcasting?

I’ve always loved audio production.

I graduated from Illinois State University (’09) with a bachelor’s in broadcast journalism but found myself working in an entirely different field post graduation.

I started podcasting as a hobby which has helped me stay creative.

What’s the name of your show and what is it about?

I host two shows on Libsyn. THE CHERRYPICKIN PODCAST officially launched in 2018.

This is a show where I provide college football predictions and analysis during each week of the fall season.

And In 2021, I launched THE EVERYTHING ELSE PODCAST where I discuss anything and everything pop-culture related!

What’s your podcasting set up?

We use:

  • Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone
  • USB Microphone Kit 192KHZ/24BIT Plug & Play MAONO AU-A04 USB Computer Cardioid Mic Podcast Condenser Microphone with Professional Sound, Chipset
  • Apple MacBook Pro (for recording)-Garage Band (for recording/editing)

Also ZOOM is a great tool for podcasting with guests virtually. It allows you the opportunity to record and save audio and video files which I export to GarageBand for further editing.

How have you promoted your podcast?

I self promote a lot on Twitter.

I take advantage of when Libsyn sends the weekly tweet (every Friday) for podcast creators to self promote our shows.

I also have my own merchandise including stickers which I like to distribute whenever I’m on the go.

In the past, I’ve also been a part of podcast networks which helped grow my podcast audience.

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?

I wish I knew how much time, energy, and money I’d spend on podcasting which to some, may be viewed as a deterrent, but I genuinely love this medium.

I enjoy all aspects of podcasting.

I love research, writing, podcasting, editing, and promotion.

It’s funny, the actual podcasting of each episode is only a small piece of what I do to maintain my shows.

It’s a labor of love. I am hopeful that someday I can turn this passion project into a career.

I created CHERRYPICKIN ENTERTAINMENT with that end goal in mind.

Today I host my two shows. In the future I’d like to expand into other areas of entertainment.
