Amanda Cupido is an award-winning producer whose career began as a reporter, news anchor and producer with Newstalk 1010 CFRB in Toronto. She was invited to redefine the radio courses within the School of Journalism at both Seneca College and Ryerson University, where she continues to teach. Previously, Amanda managed global communications for the non-profit, World Vision where she led training sessions about innovative storytelling for their communications teams around the world and filed stories from Afghanistan, Myanmar and Jordan. She then moved to their executive office in Canada overseeing speech writing, media training and social media for the CEO.

I've always loved talk radio and have been a long-time listener of 640 Toronto, said Amanda Cupido. I'm so excited to be joining this incredibly talented team. Audio storytelling is the backbone of humanity and right now we have the opportunity to push the boundaries of the medium and think beyond.
Amanda is one of the most respected audio storytellers in Canada. With her experience in radio, podcast, as an entrepreneur and educator, she has become a thought leader, a champion, and a disrupter in the audio space.
