On this week's episode, we welcome Amanda Cordner from Sort Of, a hit comedy series co-produced by CBC, HBO Max and Sphere Media shot right here in Toronto. This is part 1.

Cordner was named one of Canada’s Rising Screen Stars by NOW Magazine in April 2022 and was one of that publication’s Top Ten Theatre Artists of 2018. As a television performer, she has garnered enthusiastic reviews for her breakthrough performance as 7ven in Sort Of, which received an ACTRA Nomination for Outstanding Performance – Gender Non-Conforming or Female). Cordner is also featured in Station Eleven, My Loving Stalker, Slo Pitch, The Expanse and The Baroness von Sketch Show. 

During our conversation, we went deep as we discussed some of the ways that both Sabi and 7ven navigate their realities within heteronormative families and cultures, the dichotomies of life for Black queer actressesses, the impact Amanda hopes shows like Sort Of will have on our societal discourse, and, as Amanda put it, our need for "more softness, more love".

Season 2 of Sort Of is streaming now on CBC and CBC Gem.
