Greg David, AMI’s Communications Specialist and our go-to TV guy, is here to reflect on years of great conversations.

From the mind of Kelly & Co. host Kelly MacDonald comes a behind-the-scenes look at one of the show’s biggest evolutions—taking it on the road! When Kelly and Company was first being shaped, Kelly had one big request: remotes. Not just sitting in a studio, but actually getting out, meeting people, and bringing the show to the audience.
It started with a simple idea, but thanks to John Melville and AMI leadership, that vision became reality. The team hit the road, covering events like the CNIB Expo during White Cane Week in Toronto (2017), followed by stops in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. These live broadcasts were more than just great radio—they connected Kelly and Company with the very people it was made for.
For Kelly, it was a dream come true—standing in front of a crowd, feeling like the broadcaster he always wanted to be. And in the world of audio? It was pure magic. 🎩🎧

From the mind of Kelly & Co. host Kelly MacDonald comes another deep dive into the evolution of the show. When Kelly and Company first aired, its focus was on the low vision and blind community—but as AMI’s mission expanded, so did the show’s approach.
Enter Back to Basics, a groundbreaking series that took listeners through the realities of disability, from diagnosis to daily life, employment, recreation, and beyond. Senior producer Matt Agnew sparked the idea—if he had so many questions, surely the audience did too. The result? A multi-year journey of learning, sharing, and amplifying voices from different perspectives.
This is a reflection on how Kelly and Company grew into a platform for more than just conversation—it became a place for education, exploration, and community. And looking back? Well, sometimes it’s a challenge to remember it all, but as Kelly says, what matters is we won anyway. 😉

Every great show starts with a spark of inspiration—and for Kelly and Company, that spark came from the incredible contributors who shaped its identity. In this heartfelt reflection, Kelly MacDonald takes us back to the early days of the show, when finding the right voices meant more than just asking—it meant encouraging, mentoring, and sometimes even convincing people of their own potential.
One such voice was veterinarian Danielle Jongkind, who wasn’t sure if she belonged behind the mic. But after a single dry run, it was clear—she was a natural. From important pet health reminders (yes, including those ever-persistent ticks) to engaging discussions that balanced insight and fun, Danielle became an essential part of the Kelly and Company family.
This is a tribute to the contributors who brought depth, longevity, and joy to the show. Fedora’s off to them—and as Kelly says, there’s always more to tell. Stay tuned. 🎩🎧

In this second part of the Kelly & Company origin story, Kelly MacDonald takes us deeper into the decisions and challenges that shaped the show’s early days. Back in 2016, AMI’s leadership, including John Melville and David Errington, saw an opportunity to build on the success of the morning show by launching a new afternoon program—and Kelly had a major decision to make.
After years of balancing television work and radio aspirations, Kelly was given the chance to co-host full-time and help shape a brand-new show. But making the leap meant a complete career shift, a new daily commute, and stepping into the world of live talk radio—something he had never formally trained for.
From initial brainstorming sessions with Kevin Philip-Apilé and Matt Agnew to defining the show’s focus on lifestyle, health, leisure, and entertainment, this episode walks through the building blocks that turned Kelly & Company from an idea into a reality on October 31, 2016. With legendary guests like Jerry Howarth and John Rafferty kicking off the first episode, the show quickly took on a life of its own.
In the next Vanity Card, Kelly will explore how Kelly & Company evolved into the show we know today and what it took to grow its foundation. Stay tuned!

Ever wondered how Kelly & Company came to life? In this special Vanity Card, Kelly MacDonald takes us behind the scenes to reveal the unexpected journey that led to the show’s creation—sharing details that maybe he shouldn’t!
It all started back in 2013 or 2014, when AMI-audio was exploring the idea of a live show—a big shift from its traditional format of readings and pre-recorded documentaries. The concept was ambitious, and as auditions began, Kelly, who was focused on television at the time, was initially not part of the plan. But his passion for live broadcasting couldn’t keep him away for long.
Through a mix of persistence, timing, and a little bit of luck, Kelly found his way into AMI-audio, starting with weekly appearances alongside Mike Ross in early 2016. But his story doesn’t stop there—just when things started settling in, AMI’s VP of Production, John Melville, called Kelly in for a meeting… and that’s where the next chapter begins.
Want to know what happened next? Stay tuned for the next Vanity Card where Kelly shares that pivotal conversation!

We’re kicking off something new! What used to be the Kelly & Company Audio Vanity Card is now evolving into its own thing—just The Vanity Card—and we’re giving it a little extra space. But what exactly is a Vanity Card? Kelly MacDonald take a moment to explain its origins, inspired by The Big Bang Theory’s end-credit messages. These bite-sized insights offer a behind-the-scenes look at the show, thoughts from the team, and even some personal stories we might regret sharing later. Now, instead of being tucked onto the end of the show, these standalone Vanity Cards will be featured on YouTube, podcasts, and even social media like Instagram and Twitter. Expect them mostly on weekends, but who knows? Inspiration strikes at any time! In this first edition, Kelly sets the stage for what’s to come, and next time, Kelly plans to dive into how the show itself came to be. So make way for the new Vanity Cards—your window into the world behind the mic!
