Amanda Keller is an Australian comedian, television and radio presenter. She’s one of the hardest working people in media hosting WSFM’s breakfast radio show, Jonesy & Amanda, Channel 10’s The Living Room and Dancing with the Stars. Amanda started her career as a producer working on Simon Townsend’s Wonder World and Midday with Ray Martin. She stepped in front of the camera after some strong encouragement from Ray Martin and never left. Amanda worked as a reporter on one of Australia's most well-known (and well-remembered) shows of the ’80s, Beyond 2000, and after a call up from her old university buddy, Andrew Denton she became a regular on his show, Denton. When that series finished she joined him on Triple M where they hosted breakfast radio together for years. In this episode, Amanda Keller talks about the power of radio and the connection you make with an audience, what it was like being on air the morning after September 11, how it's taken her a long time to get comfortable with how she looks on TV and why she couldn't do radio with anyone other than Brendan Jones.
