Jennifer Brien is a dynamic talk radio host based in Providence, Rhode Island, known for her engaging commentary and relatable approach. Born and raised in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Brien served six years in the Army Military Police K-9 Unit, an experience that shaped her strong work ethic and commitment to community service. Her media career began to take off when she hosted a weekday show from 1:00-3:00 p.m. on WRKO in Boston, Massachusetts, although her tenure ended when Michele McPhee returned to the station in 2012.
In 2013, Brien became the “permanent replacement” for the retired Steve Leveille on weekends at WBZ in Boston, where she launched *The Jen Brien Show*. The show aired from midnight to 5:00 a.m. but lasted only three months before the station re-evaluated its programming. Despite the show’s brief run, her presence was felt, and her insights on various topics resonated with listeners.
Brien’s versatility as a host is evident from her experience on multiple stations, including co-hosting a weekday morning show on WHJJ in Providence with Ron St. Pierre. She has also hosted programs on WCOD-FM and WXTK in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and WHAM in Rochester, New York, showcasing her ability to connect with audiences across different regions.
In 2021, Brien took her talents to the podcasting realm, launching *Ron and Jen’s Great Escape* alongside Rhode Island Radio Hall of Famer Ron St. Pierre. This new venture allows her to reach a wider audience while continuing to engage in meaningful conversations and share her unique perspectives on current events and life experiences.
