The first ever Scope Madness is coming…and we need YOUR help!
March 4, 2010 | Posted by: The Scope
Hey, Scope Superfans!
We’re in the middle of planning a grand event and we REALLY need our listeners to help us out to make this thing work.
We’re calling it, simply enough, Scope Madness (in honor of the upcoming NCAA March Madness tourney.) That being said, there will be no basketball or athletics of any kind attached to this event. Frankly, we’d be lucky if we could throw the ball up high enough to even hit the rim.
This tournament revolves around the greatest popular music ever produced…and this is where you, our faithful listeners, come into play.
We’d like each and every one of you to think about your favorite songs of all time. Once you’ve done that, send us your list consisting of:
1. Your favorite song of the 2000s.
2. Your favorite song of the 1990s.
3. Your favorite song of the 1980s.
4. Your favorite song released prior to 1980 (that’s 1979 and older for those of you that don’t understand.)
If you want to send more than one selection, please feel free. The more songs we get, the better Scope Madness will be!
Once we get all of your selections, we’ll place the music into brackets and through healthy debate, ridicule, and taunting, whittle the list down to one ultimate song. Trust us, it’ll be amazing. Or maybe just a great way to fill up a show.
So please, start thinking about your favorite songs. And get your list back to the Scope via facebook, our website, comments@thescopeshow.com, or our voicemail line (646-495-9201 x 70055.)
Thanks for your support and help, Scope fans!
Hugs and kisses,
The Scope Triumvirate
(Jared, Adam, and Shane)

Failed Furnace Forces Fretful… Uh… Delay
January 15, 2010 | Posted by: Jared
Just as we were set to resume our recording schedule, another roadblock has appeared to thwart us. This time, it was Jared’s furnace taking a dirt nap. Avid listeners of The Scope know that the furnace doesn’t play an active role on the show, but since we record in Jared’s basement, the lack of forced-air comfort would result in a fresh batch of scopesicles.
Hopefully this delay is only for a week while the situation gets sorted out. We’ll let you know when we’re back on track.

Your Scope hosts want to take a quick moment from the buckets of eggnog and mountains of candy canes to wish everyone out there the best this holiday season. No matter what you celebrate, we hope it is full of fun, festivities, and time spent with family and friends.

Stay safe, have a great time, and prepare yourself for The Scope New Year’s Eve Special. We’re not quite sure when we’re recording it…but we’ll let you know when we come up with a date and time.
Peace out!

The Scope To Make Triumphant Return
December 20, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
That’s right, we’re coming back! The Scope is scheduled to return to regular production in 2010. Our return will be marked by our fourth annual New Year’s Eve special. Have you listened to our past New Year’s Eve specials? They’re usually a mess but quite entertaining. Expect more of the same.
We’re still nailing down the details for what we’ll cover in this episode, but we know for sure that we want to include our valued listeners in the show. You can call into the voicemail line at 646-495-9201 x70055 and leave a special message for the new year. We’ll play the best of your messages on the show, so put forth your best effort.
That’s the deal. We’re looking forward to entertaining you in 2010.

The Scope Taking a Brief Break
October 19, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
Sometimes life throws you lemons, so while we make lemonade — in order to mix it with some Jack Daniels, of course — we’ll be going on a brief hiatus. This break will delay our next episode, originally scheduled to record this weekend. We don’t have a firm date for our return, but it shouldn’t be too long.
Thank you for your patience, and thanks for listening.
