The title of this episode is a little misleading.  Leah Secondo does indeed work for CBS Sports Network.  It's where she and I call women's basketball from time to time.  But she does so much else for so many sports in so many chairs and on so many networks.  And she's a pioneer when it comes to women in the industry.  Follow along on episode #137 with Leah Secondo.
