Juliet
On Air Personality, Majic 95.5

You’ll find Juliet on the radio airwaves weekday afternoons from 12pm – 7pm & on Saturdays, too. When she’s not on air with a witty take on the ills of high-waisted denim or giving outstanding life advice in her AWM Award Winning podcast, Just Ask Juliet, you’ll find her in the kitchen working on her oven spring or whipping up a 50 minute lasagna in just under 30 minutes. She’s always been a relentless overachiever; she even flosses.   

A native Texan, Juliet’s lived in Boston, New York City, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas & Houston, but you’ll never convince her there’s a better place to be than Austin.
