Shewaye began his career in journalism reading the news in Oromigna. He recalls how one day he thought his job at a radio station needed more excitement and how he sneaked into the studio without the knowledge of his supervisor to read the news live instead of pre-recorded like he usually did. “I’ll never forget the excitement I felt that day,” he says. It was this thirst for excitement that led him to producing Aantee, another Betengna's Oromigna program.

Aantee is currently featuring the diaries of Uma Shewa in Oromigna, which airs on Radio Ethiopia on Saturdays at 6:15 pm. The diaries of Feyisa Chala and Soretti Borena have also been featured.
