TWR Listeners Lounge - Scotty B

<p>In this episode, we welcome Scott Baker, aka, Scotty B, a radio talent at WSB in Atlanta with both a sports and music background. We start with Scotty growing up in Lansing, Michigan. High School football landed him scholarship opportunities in Alabama and Georgia. Scotty opted for Clark-Atlanta University, a well-known HBCU for broadcasting and media. While in school, Scotty realized he wasn't going to be playing football as a career. He fell in love with the microphone and got his degree in broadcasting. He grew up singing and playing music in church, so it was a natural fit to perform on the mic. He was initially hired at WSB to be a phone screener, but made a point of learning as much as he could about everything else. Fate landed him the role of producing "Word on the Street," a radio show heard Saturdays and Sundays from 9PM to midnight. He works with hosts Shelley Wynter, MalaniKai and DJ Crystal. The show is also exported as a podcast for on-demand listening.</p> <p><strong>MOVIES/STREAMING:</strong><br /> Walt began watching the Netflix show, <strong>Away</strong>. He was a little disappointed with it's slow pacing. He started to binge the older show, <strong>Halt and Catch Fire</strong>. Finally, he's been watching college football whenever he can. Scotty B is making his way through season 2 of <strong>The Umbrella Academy</strong>. He's also watching the NBA playoffs and the early start to college football. Alan started the second season of <strong>The Boys</strong> on Amazon Prime and has enjoyed picking it up from where the first season ended. He's still on season 5 of <strong>Star Trek: The Next Generation</strong>.</p> <p><strong>READING:</strong><br /> Walt is reading, "<em>The Black Echo</em>," the first Bosch novel written by Michael Connelly. Scotty B is revisiting the classic book, "<em>The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People</em>." He likes to read a section and put it down to ponder for awhile.
