Deepa Prashad, one-half of the Daryn & Deepa show on Virgin Radio (CKFM-FM) Toronto, has been named the 2025 Young Broadcaster of the Year.

Presented annually in memory of late programmer Steve Young, the award is voted on by past honourees and was handed out this year alongside Broadcast Dialogue's Canadian Radio Awards.

Deepa joins Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about her meteoric rise in radio, developing her passion for what's essentially her second full-time job - content creation, representing her West Indian heritage, and more.
