Description
The Vanity Prodcast is hosted by Scott, a guy who's actually getting into the podcast game after "thinking about it" for far too long. Since he's finally deciding to do this for himself, he's jokingly (well, maybe half-jokingly) calling it his vanity project. And it's a podcast. You get it now, right?
On the show, Scott will talk about, well... whatever he happens to feel like talking about that day. Primarily based on pop culture and societal observation, he'll also have some cool guests, just for good measure.

In this episode, Scott welcomes Sarah Brand, a viral video star.
Sarah's video/song Red Dress went viral last year... and in this episode, the pair discuss the creation of the song, the meaning behind it... and the public interpretation of it. What you might not expect is the path where the conversation ventures - was it an experiment? Was it a shot at pop stardom? Or was it both?
Scott and Sarah also chat about Sarah's future career and video plans.
It's highly advised to view the video prior to listening to this episode, just to better understand the discussion.

Oh, hi.
It's been a while. Let's get reacquainted, shall we?
In this episode, Scott gives a quick life update... shares his thoughts on some social media trends... and talks about a friend/mentor that he lost over the last year.
In the episode, Scott talks with musician Greg Holden. The two dive into his move to the states from the UK, his start into music, as well as his latest album “World War Me.”
While his name may not be that of a household variety yet, his work definitely is. Greg's music has been featured in the television shows Private Practice, One Tree Hill, and Sons of Anarchy. He also cowrote and produced the song during the closing credits of Bill & Ted Face the Music.
Greg also wrote the coronation song "Home" for American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips; the single went on to sell over 5 million copies in the United States and become the best-selling coronation song by any Idol alum.
Scott and Greg chat about Greg's current work, songwriting during a global pandemic, what it's like being signed to - and subsequently dropped by - a major record label, and the surreal moment of standing in an arena while a sold-out crowd sings your song.
They also tackle where he sees his career heading next... and, of course, aliens.

Welp... here we are.

Also, will the fallout from the "social distancing" change the entertainment industry? Some movie studios have talked about releasing first run, theatrical movies to be available for home streaming rental. Would you forgo the theatre experience if you were able to get brand new movies at home?
But we also have to mention... Tom Brady is leaving New England?!
In this episode, Scott and Josh discuss the coronavirus which just showed up here in Maryland. So that's fun.
After they washed their hands and stop touching their faces, the pair discuss concert etiquette - are you "allowed" to stand up at a show if no one else around you is?

In the episode, Scott is joined by his friend Josh to discuss what it's like to "define the relationship" from the male perspective. Are you clingy if you ask? Are you indifferent if you DON'T ask? It's 2020, let's figure out what the deal is.
Also, Josh likes Nickelback. Scott has some things to say about that.
In this episode, Scott is joined by Francesca who isn't too happy that Scott claims the podcast as his own.

And yes, it's a true story that involves doughnuts, the police, and running around like an idiot.
In this episode, Scott chats with Emily Hampshire from the hit TV series "Schitt's Creek" - and the pair try to determine if Scott's neighbor is a murderer OR if they just watch too many crime shows.

In this episode, Scott and his coworker/friend Francesca talk about the etiquette of holiday time at work, Francesca teaching her boyfriend how to buy gifts for her... and how Francesca thinks she'll pick better gifts for Scott's wife than he will.
