Andrew Santino
Comedian Andrew Santino has candid, long-form conversations with friends from the entertainment industry while they sip whiskey.
A classic LA comedian-interviewing-comedian podcast, framed by the ritual of pouring and drinking whiskey. The host, a Chicago native, brings a specific 'everyman' sensibility to conversations with industry friends, leading to candid shop talk, road stories, and riffs on their shared experiences in Hollywood.
“The whiskey-drinking premise is more than a name; it's a central ritual that sets a relaxed, intimate tone. Santino's specific 'Cheeto' redhead persona and Chicago roots provide a consistent point of view that contrasts with many of his LA-based guests.”
