Originally aired February 4, 2025.

Romero shines the light on Toronto radio personality, music artist, and journalist Amanda Shekarchi (on-air as Amanda Raya). Amanda talks about co-hosting MET30 on MET Radio 1280 AM, her monthly segment on AMI’s “Kelly and Company,” and producing her CBC documentary “Playing by Ear,” which spotlights blind and visually impaired musicians. They dig into her love of interviewing up-and-coming artists, growing up as the only blind person in her immediate family, her CBC internship on “Day 6,” and a fun power round covering favorite candy, Taylor Swift eras, and the time she met Hilary Duff at five and a half years old.

Listen to Amanda’s CBC Documentary:

• “Playing by Ear” is available on cbc.ca or through the CBC Listen app.
