WTYU.rocks We Tune You Up
Andy Vineberg enjoyed a 30-year career in journalism (before the internet killed the newspaper star), working as a reporter and editor for a chain of suburban Philadelphia publications. He covered mostly sports, features, and entertainment, while also supervising the company’s award-winning teen section (the place where CBS News election correspondent Robert Costa got his start).
Highlights of Andy’s newspaper career include serving as a traveling beat reporter for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1990s (yes, he was in Toronto for Joe Carter’s World Series-winning home run and will never forgive Jim Fregosi for taking Roger Mason out of the game in the 8th inning).
Andy’s career also involved interviewing a long line of famous (and not-so-famous) entertainers, from Tommy Smothers to Barry “Greg Brady” Williams to Pink.
Since 2018, he has co-hosted the “David Uosikkinen In the Pocket” podcast, teaming with the Hooters drummer to interview both local and national musicians.
He works full-time as a content writer for a South Jersey-based marketing company but hasn’t lost his passion for pop culture. To paraphrase his all-time favorite musician, “maybe he’s not so young anymore,” but he’ll always consider himself a proud music and movie nerd.
