Amanda Richards



Hi, I’m Mandy! You might know me as Amanda Richards. My friends and family call me Mandy…and I hope you will too! I’ve been with KAFE for almost 9 years, and I’m so excited to get you know you better in my new role as part of the KAFE morning show: Dave and Mandy in the Morning!

ARE YOU FROM AROUND THE BELLINGHAM AREA? Poulsbo, originally. I came to Bellingham to go to Western way back in the 90’s…and never left!

HIGHEST LEVEL OF EDUCATION: PhD in kicking butt and taking names. No, really.

FAVORITE TV SHOWS: I’m a TV addict! Especially since DVR came into my life. I don’t remember life before DVR, and I don’t want to. Here’s just a few: Modern Family, New Girl, Extreme Couponing, Parks & Recreation, Snapped, Happy Endings, The Good Wife, Desperate Housewives (can’t believe it’s the last season!!)

FIRST CONCERT EVER: Well, if you don’t count seeing Raffi and Tim Noah when I was very young…my first adult concert was the Spin Doctors at the Seattle Coliseum!

GUILTY PLEASURES: I love Facebook stalking. I can’t help it. The thought of being able to see what other people are up to without them knowing it is just plain awesome.

ONE THING NOBODY WOULD EVER GUESS ABOUT ME: I'm an official member of the National School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.

I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO: Whistle using my fingers. No matter how hard I try.

LATEST KITCHEN CREATION: Ha ha! Wait…is that a trick question? You don’t call what I do ‘cooking,’ I think it’s more like ‘warming up.’ I’m a pro at using a microwave. Using anything else sets off my smoke alarm.

YOUR FRIENDS SAY YOU’RE CHEAP…: Probably because they’re sick of hearing me talk about finding things on sale. One thing you’ll come to know about me: I love a good deal! I wouldn’t say cheap--I prefer fabulously frugal.

I’d love to hear from you…send me an email: mandy@kafe.com
