Welcome to December and our first International Day For Persons With Disabilities or IDPD episode before 2020 comes to an end. The interviewer becomes the interviewee, but you can’t totally take the host out of the guest and we three soon find out we have one thing, in particular, in common.
He’s on AMIAudio with the afternoon talk show Kelly and Company. Today, he’s our guest. We speak with Kelly MacDonald about the pros and cons of his years at W. Ross MacDonald School for the Blind and Deaf-blind and how it shaped him, how he got the best of both worlds, how he’s worked with Accessible Media Inc. since it was a basic reading service, and how a career in media and broadcasting has given him so much.
His radio voice is classic, well practiced, and perfectly suited to spending an hour together. Having an accessible network in Canada like AMI is helping to promote inclusion in media representation so check out Kelly and Company, weekdays from two to four eastern:
