My name is Amanda Beland and I’m a radio producer and reporter living in Greater Boston. I have a passion for community journalism and strive to tell nuanced stories through a variety of lens. Currently, I am the senior producer for WBUR’s Radio Boston and also reporting on occasion for the WBUR newsroom. My work can be found here. My coverage interests are wide ranging, but I tend to gravitate to stories about food, the environment, health, and how cities work.

Previously,  I produced GBH’s  In It Together. Each night we covered how the coronavirus pandemic was impacting Massachusetts. I also co-produced the daily Boston portion of the Consider This podcast, a collaboration with NPR, GBH and WBUR. All my work at GBH can be found here.

My byline has appeared in outlets in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, including MetroWest Daily News, WERS 88.9, the New Hampshire Union Leader, Foster’s Daily Democrat and Seacoast Online.

I am co-produce Walter Discovers America with my partner Elio DeLuca. WDA is a travelogue and multi-media love letter that follows up through our mission of visiting every accessible US state by car. When I’m not working, I also enjoy being outside and perfecting my baking skills. This year that has meant striving for the perfect macaron.
