We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrew Turner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrew, what do you attribute your success to?
I place all of the attention on the guest’s that we have on our show. By highlighting the accomplishments of the people around me I have started to build a community around Fort Worth Roots.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I had become an avid listener of a podcast that had interesting guest on from all over the world. I was eating up 40 plus hours a week of someone else’s content when I decided I wanted to do this on a local level. The most difficult part of the journey so far has been balancing work, time with my family, and the podcast. I have had work weeks that exceeded 90 hours over the last two years while working on the show. So far I think im most proud of the fact that the Fort Worth Roots Podcast is still alive and going strong. Anyone can start a podcast. Very few turn them into anything productive.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I think we would absolutely have to start off in the Stockyards and probably catch a show at the new Downtown Cowtown at the Isis Theatre. Id want to have dinner either before or after the show at any of the Tim Love restaurants, probably Lonesome Dove. Then I think we would have to see some live music at Lola’s

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Dozens of people are responsible for the success of this show. Recently our new friend at Roofing Solutions by Darren Houk, Darren Houk has been such a huge supporter of what we do here on the Fort Worth Roots Podcast.
