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.

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.

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).
