  • This is a must listen podcast

    Scott brings us stories of latch key kids running amuck with a sense of humor. But his fondness for the people who made an impact in his life gives the stories heart. Sit back and listen to his shows and reminisce on the good and bad. Just be home when the street lights come on.

  • Even Boomers Can Relate

    Very relatable podcast. If you’re GenX or a younger boomer you’ll like it. The topics are universal but based on Scott’s experiences growing up in OK. I grew up in TN and find my self nodding in agreement with the stories. Give it a listen!
