She continued to act for other theatre companies, and had minor film roles, in the 1980s before joining CBC Radio, for whom she worked as a continuity announcer and substitute host, as well as an occasional guest performer on "Royal Canadian Air Farce". Three of her guest appearances with Air Farce appear on the troupe's 1990 album "To Air Is Human, To Farce Divine". In one of her most famous sketches with "Air Farce", a businessman befuddled by the complexities of the new GST calls the government's information line; Budd plays the customer service representative, who answers his tax questions in the steamy and seductive tone of a phone sex operator.
