In the summer of 2013, Brand occasionally substituted for longtime broadcaster Warren Olney IV on his show "To the Point" on KPCC's rival, KCRW. In September 2013, Brand moved to KCRW and began to develop "Press Play", which debuted in January 2014, becoming the first new daily program on KCRW since 2001. "Press Play" competes against Larry Mantle's "AirTalk" on KPCC. Brand is married to filmmaker Joe DeMarie, and together they have two children. She lives in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
