We're back. After a hiatus during the football season, The Backyard Banter Podcast makes a long awaited return and the first episode doesn't disappoint. Now former ESPN employee Jason Romano joins the show to discuss his 17-plus year tenure with the network as a producer and in various other sectors and most importantly, his recent decision to leave his dream job to pursue a different dream.

Highlights from this episode include:- How Jason "won the lottery" and landed a dream job with ESPN.- The importance of networking while never asking for a job- What it's like being someone who is behind the scenes and not necessarily on the center stage.- Why Jason chose to leave ESPN and what he's onto next.- At the end of the day, it's all really about stories.
