Janet discussed the new voting machines and the imporance of each vote.

Al discussed his book, LocalPolitics101.

I spoke with the creator of Fiki Football, a very cool game similar to one we used to play in school with a folded up piece of paper. Except this is a real piece of leather. Very cool. And fun.

Check electclifton.org for more details on John.

Monday we checked in with the folks from the Fair Tax group to see what's going on with it. Among other things, we found out that just a single NY Congressperson has taken a stance on the Fair Tax ... and that was to oppose it. Those congresspeople are slippery, aren't they?

Eric is running for congress in the 20th district of New York. He's a Libertarian. We talked about his goals and plans. It was a great interview. Especially if you love freedom.

Thursday's interview was on finances and new rules regarding IRAs and 401(k)s.

Keith talked about his project, Vocab Rock. Similar to the old Schoolhouse Rock we grew up with, Vocab Rock teaches through music. But this is designed to teach for the SAT or ACT. Good stuff.

Al Garza from the Minutemen organization was on talking about the president's plan for border security and the Minutemen's plan to build a fence on the Arizona/Mexico border. Good stuff.

We talked with Richard Armstrong, author of a book entitled "God Doesn't Shoot Craps - A Divine Comedy." He gave us some tips and tricks on how to get freebies out of casinos.

This little episode is with Cambria resident and frequent Dialog caller Pete Schul, who is upset about the way government treats us ... so he played a couple songs for our listening pleasure. This will run as-is during the May 29th Dialog. But it's on the internet early. Enjoy.

Lyndon LaRouche was our guest on Thursday, talking about the impending American financial collapse and what we can do to stop it. For more information on Lyndon, check larouchepac.org.

Buy his book here.

Kathy discussed her book that she wrote for her daughter called, "It's Springtime in My Backyard." It's a very good book for kindergarten aged children or thereabout.

Gene talked about his book, "Duck - The Ultimate Dick Cheney Survival Bible." It was quite funny.

Brian Nesline, a graphic designer and the artist behind Faces of Buffalo was on to talk about the new American Flag mosiac, a fundraiser for Jammies for GIs.

Sean Kelly is a professor at Niagara University. He also wrote a book about congressional committee assignments. If you enjoy process, you'll enjoy this show. If not, I'm sure there's something good on MTV right now.

Katherine's new book "Help Mom! Hollywood is in my Hamper," is based - in my opinion - on a false assumption. But its a good book to share with your kids. And talk about it with them afterwards. For my daughters opinion on the matter, download Monday's interview.

My daughter Emily returns to "The Interview" to discuss the new book by Katherine Debrecht.The sound is a bit tinny cause the acoustics at my home studio isn't nearly as good as the ones at WLVL.

Valentines Day I had the great opportunity to interview Jake LaMotta, the Bronx Bull. We talked about boxing in his day and boxing now. It was tough at times, cause Jake doesn't seem to have the best hearing, but I appreciate his giving me the time. Thanks to PC Tony for putting this together. And thanks to Jake for donating the gloves to raffle off for Winter Fest. They look alot like the one he autographed to me. :) This interview will air Friday, but I thought I'd put it up now for those of you who want to listen.

I interviewed Gary Grossman, author of Executive Treason. It's a very good book with a unique premise. For more on grossman, visit ExecutiveTreason.com or ElliotStrong.com. This podcast is the RAW interview (which took place Thursday), and includes a brief conversation between myself and Grossman before the interview and after. Also, this contains about six minutes more interview than aired on WLVL including a discussion about Hillary Clinton and the current state of talk radio. Grossman was a great interview. I hope you enjoy it like I did.

Lockport musician Joe Sears was in the WLVL studios on Friday, performing three acousting songs (one with a harmonica) and talking with Scott. This'd be a good interview to burn to a CD and listen to over and over ... kinda like I'd recommend you do with Gorilla Punch from two weeks ago. In fact, Dennis from GP is the one that hooked me up with Joe and now, I'm hoping, Joe is going to hook me up with other musicians, too. I'd like to do this every Friday. How much would THAT rock?

Tom Schatz is from Citizens Against Government Waste, a group that yells at congress for pork-barrel spending and other wasteful things. On Wednesday, we discussed the possibility of a windfall-profits tax on oil companies, among other things. I enjoyed the interview. Hope you do too.

Steve is one of the great people I met in New York at the last media summit I went to. I've been wanting to get to him, but other things keep popping up. If you're into gambling, the book is WELL WORTH $17. Check out his web site. He said he'd throw in free shipping and a couple of other things if you mentioned you heard it on the show. So that's cool. Enjoy. But listen to the show first.

Robert Peters from "Morality in Media" was on to talk about FCC regulations and decency standards in media and the internet. It was a good show, although I can't say I buy into the guy's thought process.

Mike Lieber, coach of the Emmet Belknap robitics team, and several members of the team, did an "on-location" interview on what they're doing. (Recorded 01/26/02)

Author Leland Gregory and I barely had a chance to talk about his new book, Bushwacked. We were too busy talking about everything else in life. If you enjoy a conversational interview, you'll really enjoy this one. I sure did. For more on Leland, check his web site.

This is a podcast exclusive interview with economist and perennial presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. I talked with Lyn about Samuel Alito, the situation in the automobile industry and his thoughts on the media. The part of the interview dealing with Alito will begin Dialog on Monday - and we'll springboard off of it for a discussion on the Supreme Court nominee.

Steve Greenfield is running against Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary for the US Senate. He thinks her stance on the war is too similar to that of W and the GOP. It was a pretty good interview. Even Greenfield admits, though, that Hillary can't be beaten. But he thinks his candidacy can keep her in check and maybe even influence her positions.

John Faso is the GOP candidate for Governor ... or at least he A GOP candidate. We talked about his plans, his accomplishments and how the system is broken.

Avery discussed his book, "Globalist Papers," an interesting look at how to unite the world and eliminate (to a degree) senseless war. I was impressed. Hope you were, too.

Here's the interview of Bob Barr, unedited. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Hope you do, too. There's about 13 minutes more audio here than what I aired on Dialog Monday.

Trager is the president of a pharmaceutical firm that makes "Sine-Off," a cold medicine which is said to be safer than other's becuase you can't use it as an incredient in Crystal Meth. There's a bill that would require cold and flu medicines to be behind lock and key and require a drivers license for purchase. Trager supports the bill cause his product would be exempt.

Dorothy and I had a great conversation on the mid-east and what Ariel Sharon's stroke means for the region. For more on Dorothy, check her web site.

James and I discussed his book, "God Rest ye Merry Soldiers," a tale about Christmas on the Civil War battlefield. It was - in my opinion - a very good interview. Hope you enjoy it ... and Merry Christmas.

Avis is a local author who has written a number of books on local towns. She shared some litte-known and some well-known facts about the towns of Newfane & Olcott, Wilson, Medina and Albion. I was very sick so I sound like crap. Thank goodness Avis tried harder.

The guys threw a shout out to "all my fans."

I talked with Chris Faulkner, CEO of CI Host.com. He discussed internet shopping and security. A good show. The live airing cut short - here's the whole thing.

Uncle Higgly talked about his book, Mr. Gonopolis and his 12 Holsteins - A Christmas Story. It's very funny. I have the audio version. As he said on the interview, if you order, use SCOTT as a coupon code and he'll take 20% off. So - ya got that goin' for ya. :)

Ken Davis talked about the mythological history of Christmas - where different stories originated from and how they got to what they are now. Very interesting story. Very good interview. For more, check Ken's web site.

It's Christmastime all over the land. And Ron Clancy talked with me about the history of some great American Christmas songs. This podcast actually has more to it than the on-air version did cause I ran out of time on-air - where as the internet ... we have unlimited space. :)

Ron Anderluh from The Summit was in studio to talk about the past, present and future of The Summit Park Mall. It sounded a little "infomercialish" at times, but some neat details. For the record, "The Interview" is not a paid program. I have never and will never accept money for a booking. I was interested in the mall and thought you might be too - so don't worry, I'm not selling out. :)

Tuesday's interview was Bernard von NotHaus, the architect behind the Liberty Dollar. I got some. You should too.

Mike Casey is the director of Campaign for a Cleaner Congress. He spend some time talking about Tom Reynolds among other things on Monday.

Tuesday's show was with Stephen Ives on "Las Vegas: An Unconventional History," airing Nov. 14th and 15th on PBS. Quite entertaining - especially when he talked about his daughter swimming topless.

Author Allen Salkin talked about his new book, "Festivus: A Holiday for the Rest of Us." It was a great interview if I do say so myself. And yes, I really do have washer horseshoes.

Tuesday I spoke with Avi Cover from Human Rights First. We talked about the recent decision by the Supreme Court to review the military tribunal case of Salim Ahmed Hamdan.

Rachel Leon, executive director of NY Common Cause was Friday's interview to discuss, Proposition 1, which changes the state budgeting process, giving the legislature more power over the process, which she said was a good thing.

Author John Stanley says businesses need to be more pro-active in helping their customers by thinking FOR them ... not LIKE them. Buy his book on Amazon.

Author Joseph Klein talked about what's wrong with the United Nations and why we should be leary of the "globalists." In the end, it's all about the "liberals." *sigh* Check out Amazon if you'd like to pre-order his book. (It's not officially on sale until Nov. 15). BTW, beginning of the show is chopped off again. Sorry.

Johanna Wagner is a woman I met at the recent media summit I went to in NYC. She's visited every major league stadium - and did all of them in one year ... a feat no other woman has done. We talked about which staduiums have the best fans ... the best food ... and are the easiest to get autographs at. Overall, a good interview, but I did miss the first minute and a half or so (sorry.)

Paul Gallagher, an economic analyst and editor for Executive Intelligence Review, joined us by phone on Wednesday to talk about the Delphi bankruptcy and what should be done with the auto industry. Some very interesting ideas that may sound far fetched at first, but make sense when you think of it. For more information, visit LaRouchePub.com.

Howard Blitz, president of the Freedom Library and weekly columnist for the The Yuma (Arizona) Sun was Tuesday's interview. We talked about his column on the Top 10 Ways to Reclaim Liberty.

Monday we talked with a woman who talks with angels. She talked about the different types of angels and ... um ... yeah. It was different. At one point I said that bad angels follow me around and make me do bad things, to which she replied; "I can't confirm that."

My planned guest for Friday had some crossed lines, so I played for you an old interview from Dialog from October 29, 2004. Scott Whiteman was a campaign adviser to presidential candidate Michael Peroutka. Personally, I felt like they relied too heavily on religion, diluting the "Constitution" part of the Constitutional Party. But others like them. I will occasionally run "reruns" of previous interviews. The scheduling folly just made for a quicker re-run than I had planned.

Kate Scaglione, director of special events and programs for Niagara USA, was on to talk about the Niagara International Kite Festival. I hope you all go and enjoy it.

Debbie Diederich, director of 30 Hour Famine made for a great guest to talk about her organizations program to raise money to feed starving kids in third world nations. We didn't get to it in the interview (shame on me) but Debbie told me afterwards that New York is the 5th best fundraising state for their effort and there are 112 groups in Niagara, Orleans and Erie counties participating in the 30 Hour Famine.

Scott talked with childrens book author Katherine DeBrecht about her best selling book, "Help Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed." It was a good interview. I hope you enjoy it. Click to buy the book on Amazon

I interviewed my daughter, Emily, about Katherine Debrecht's book, "Help Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed." Emily, 8, decided after reading the book that Liberals - and specifically Hillary Clinton - were bad. Very interesting. Listen for yourself.
