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.

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.

Al’s Top 40 of 2009 Coming Soon to The Scope Show
December 6, 2009 | Posted by: Al
No, Al has not hi-jacked The Scope Show from Jared, Adam, and Shane. He is simply here to take part in everyone’s favorite December past time- making lists. We will discuss and debate some of the tunes we heard during 2009. You can tell Al that all his music sucks and remind him that we are not in the 1990’s anymore when some nostalgic bands make his list of 40 over the uber-cool trendy bands that you like (don’t worry Candlebox and Ugly Kid Joe didn’t crack the list this year).

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.

Episode 82: Thorbjoern Jagland wants to kick drum your heart
October 12, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
Episode 82 of The Scope comes at you with a distinct lack of Adam but makes up for it with a brand-new (ripped off from Entertainment Weekly) bit. And to show we really do care, our lone music review comes directly from fan request. But we worry because he probably expected a typical Scope score of three stars. Will our petulant behavior erode our fan base by 29.47%? Hopefully, our focus on sports and G.I.Joe comic history will dull the blow.
Episode 82 can fully support The Beatles. (That’s what happens when Adam doesn’t show up.)

Episode 81: We Have No Catch Phrases or Funny Lines
September 28, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
In homage to the new ABC show, FlashForward, we blackout for one hour and thirty-seven minutes. That means we have no idea what happened during episode 81 of The Scope. But it’s a good possibility the show covers the second part of the North Shore Trivia Contest of ’09, the aforementioned FlashForward, and maybe some healthcare talk. Why? We’re socially-conscious, even while passed out.
Finally, because you were wondering, we did see our futures in the blackout. And you know what? In six months, we’ll all be watching season seven of the now-classic sitcom, Girlfriends, on DVD. Very sad. Very true.
