		<description>My name’s Scott James, and for forty years I’ve been yapping into Colorado’s ears - on the radio, in the community, behind a podium, and probably in your inbox - so you could say we’ve got history. I’ve worn a lot of hats: broadcaster, advocate, elected official, professional loudmouth, and friend. Now I’m cramming all that charm, wisdom, and unsolicited opinion into The Scott Show - a no-holds-barred brain-dump of my thoughts on culture, society, spirituality, politics, and whatever else I think the world’s too dumb to understand without my help.</description>
