Host
Amanda Putz is a proud Saskatchewanian who relocated to Ontario in 2001. After doing her time in the trenches of television in Toronto, she followed a diplomat to Ottawa and nestled into radio.
She found her "radio-legs" on Bandwidth, Ontario's Saturday afternoon music show. In the midst of her first season she helped conceive and produce Fuse in 2005, taking the reins as host. The first season of Fuse paired artists like Ron Sexsmith & Sam Roberts and Kathleen Edwards & Feist. Since then they've paired the likes of Gord Downie & The Sadies, Rock Plaza Central & Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and Greg Keelor & Cuff the Duke.
Amanda has had a chance to fill in as host on Definitely Not the Opera, Q, and Sounds Like Canada. Hosting duties have extended to a myriad of live events throughout Ottawa including The Saskatchewan Centennial Celebrations in the Capital and Canada Day in Major's Hill Park.
She returned to CBC Ottawa in 2007 after a year in Hong Kong. During that time she hosted and produced an international indie music show and read the news for Radio-Television Hong Kong's English radio station.
Amanda returned to her role as the host of Fuse in the fall of 2007 as well as a host on CBC Radio 3.
