About the Chris and Andre Show

You can find a podcast topic on just about anything and, if you are lucky, a podcast that covers things you are interested in. The Chris and Andre Show is different (we are sure you have heard that before) because we talk about things we would talk about even if we weren’t recording.

When we worked together at the infamous “EArea” during lunch, we would talk about anything. And we mean anything. From religion to the latest movie, getting all the buzz. Chris with his puns and Andre with his reserved tone often gathered an audience of people who often took part.

We invite you to join us as we continue these conversations and a chance to do life with us. Unfiltered and honest conversations with two friends who try to make each other better one conversation at a time.

Chris

Chris Smith

I want some burgers and fries!

A self-proclaimed “pop-culture expert,” Chris excels at relating any conversation to some obscure reference. He can also rattle off a number of useless football statistics, especially if it’s NC State related. Chris lives with his beautiful wife, Christie, his talented daughter, Helena, and their lovable dogs, Ambrose and Cerberus.

André

André Powell

I am Iron Man

Has a lot of opinions, but really likes to listen. André is into "most" things sports and if the team is from NY, there is a 98% chance he is a fan. In recent years he came out as a "geek" and is into "most" things tech. André lives with his wife, while arm-chair quarterbacking for his four adult sons and his favorite daughter.
