Name: Amanda Congdon

Hometown: New York, New York

College: Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois

First Role: In Kindergarten I played “the frog” in a production of Freddie the Fly Eating Frog

Current Role: Hosting my own web and mobile TV series Sometimesdaily

Favorite TV Shows: Dollhouse, In Living Color

Favorite Movies: My Cousin Vinny, Barton Fink, Dream Girls

What’s on your IPod?: I enjoy 90s hip hop, Billie Holiday, The Beatles, and anything by Gwen Stefani.

Favorite Book(s): No books, just my Kindle. Until it breaks which it has twice. I have always liked To Kill A Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye… but I read a few books each month. Mostly non-fiction… but if I’m on a plane I like mystery and suspense novels. Right now I’m reading Odd Hours by Dean Koontz.

Favorite Car: I should say my Lexus hybrid, but probably my 1991 Volvo 240 because I’m pretty nostalgic.

Favorite Charity: Charity Water. I once interviewed the founder and really liked their mission. 1 in 6 people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. 100% of public donations directly fund water projects. Charities that spend donations on their founders driving Jags are not my style.

Favorite Word: Outrageous

Will Kick Your Butt In: The party game Apples to Apples

Unique Talent: I can hula-hoop for an indefinite period of time. I once got up to 1000 and then got bored and stopped.

Guilty Pleasure: Cracking my knuckles.

Favorite Shoe: TOMS because they are vegan and for every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need.

Favorite Day Outfit: Jeans and a T-shirt.

Favorite Night Outfit: More expensive jeans and a fancier T-shirt.

Favorite Guy Feature: Kind eyes. I think you can learn a lot about someone if they are smiling with their eyes.

Favorite Vacation Place: My family’s lake house in Wisconsin. It doesn’t sound very exotic but it is just beautiful and so peaceful.
