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.
