December 07, 2016 02:10 - 39 minutes - 54.9 MBSo...I might have been wrong about the Detroit Lions (see: Episode 16).

Episode 8: Head Games
April 19, 2016 19:40 - 35 minutes - 49.1 MBFootball is at a cross roads and if the NFL's recent behavior is indicative of what's to come, they could end up looking as foolish as big tobacco did after years of denying the dangers of smoking.

Episode 3: 810
March 27, 2016 23:28 - 35 minutes - 49 MBWhen you look at what the state of Michigan, namely Gov. Rick Snyder's administration, did in allowing Flint's water to become as bad as any water system that isn't located in Rio de Janeiro, it's easy to see that there was a level of malice, neglect, and malfeasance that would make a third world despot blush.

However, after going through a pretty wild last 365 days: IT'S HERE. This is the debut episode of The Jay Scott Confidential Podcast, bka #JSCRadio.
