TORONTO — Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) today announced its AMI-audio lineup for the 2022-23 broadcast season, which includes several new podcasts available on YouTube.
The new AMI-audio podcasts include Tripping On Air, featuring Fashion Dis host Ardra Shephard, who “brings her confessional/informational blog, Tripping On Air, to the podcast airwaves where she spills the tea on what it’s really like to live with MS,” explains a press release.
“Every month, Tripping On Air invites the cool kids of chronic illness to tune in, hang out, have a laugh, learn some tips, and above all, feel seen,” reads the release.
Another new podcast is Raising Kindness with Becki Zerr, in which the former registered nurse and her son, Bennett, perform acts of kindness in places such as shelters, community centres and nursing homes in southern Saskatchewan. “Along the way, listeners learn about the work being done at those venues and meet people who improve the lives of those in need.”
Blind Golf Canada is a new podcast, hosted by Gerry Nelson and Darren Douma, that “champions the evolution of the AMI-supported sport, including its recent partnership with ParaGolf Canada.” Summer episodes of the podcast feature highlights of the four ParaGolf Canada major events held every year.
Shaun of the Shed is a podcast hosted by Double Tap’s Shaun Preece from his shed in Manchester. The podcast “gives those new to the world of technology a helping hand with everything from using a screen reader or smart speakers to unboxing and starting up a new computer,” the release says.
In addition, AMI-audio is making two of its established podcasts — The Pulse and Low Vision Moments — available on YouTube.
AMI also announced some changes regarding AMI-audio’s 2022-23 broadcast schedule. Double Tap is expanding from one to six new episodes per week, and Kelly & Company is being rebranded as Kelly & Ramya.
“I’m so thrilled about the upcoming year on AMI-audio,” said Andy Frank, manager of AMI-audio, in the release. “Double Tap growing to six new episodes a week shows the popularity it has with our audience. Expanding our podcast library to include YouTube will introduce new listeners to the incredible content we offer every day. And stay tuned for more exciting news about Kelly & Ramya.”
