Julianne Viani-Braen joins the podcast this week to discuss working as an independent contractor with roles at ESPN, CBS, Big Ten Network, MSG, and YES Network.

We chatted about how her transition to color commentating, how she broke into the business, her workload, calling games via virtual reality, her role models, social media, and her plans moving forward.

Finally, her hobbies, interests, if she was a fighter, why she reminds me of Ronda Rousey, television talk, and she brags about her cooking.
