Kushner’s intimate and engaging interview style elicits fascinating, behind-the-scenes stories from interviewees who appreciate his knowledge, passion, and compelling questions.
“It was sheer pleasure speaking with Andy, whose relaxed style and keen sense of humor helped to jostle my brain and revisit many of my 45 years of experiences in the world of recording.” Said Greg Calbi, celebrity Mastering Engineer with SterlingSound.
“Andy has a style of interviewing that is not only inviting but also inclusive. He captures the essence of what he is asking through carefully worded, thoughtful, and thought out questions. It actually didn’t feel like I was being interviewed – it felt more like a cool dialogue between two people,” said Jeff Coffin, celebrity saxophonist.
