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. 😉 Find Kelly & Company on YouTube!

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.
