ScottCast

My name is Scott James. For four decades, it has been my honor to have an ongoing conversation with the people of Colorado. As a radio personality, as a community advocate and leader, as an elected public servant, and as a friend I have come to know and love you. The Scott Cast will be filled with just my random thoughts - culture, society, spirituality, politics, and explanations of things I believe need explaining.

Episode 91: Seaons change, so must we

October 14, 2024 • 42 mins

The changing seasons remind us of God’s perfect timing in all things, both natural and national. As we face political shifts and cultural challenges, we must stand firm in truth. Trust in God’s control, knowing that He guides the rise and fall of nations according to His divine plan.

Episode 90: Cigar Stories 9 - Fall

October 6, 2024 • 32 mins

It’s been too long since I recorded a ScottCast, but tonight felt right—cigar in hand, Manhattan by my side, and the last warmth of summer fading. There’s symbolism here, and I’ll unpack it in the podcast. Tune in for thoughts on faith, politics, and life’s shifting seasons.

Episode 86: The Conversation

March 13, 2024 • 29 mins

Interesting that this is Episode 86. When I ran for US House, I was advised to make myself a smaller target and pull down my blog and podcasts. The advisement made sense in that the games politicians play involve taking their opponent’s words, lifting them out of context, twisting them, and weaponizing them. I deleted decades of work. Some amazing. Some complete drivel. I tried archiving...

Episode 85: Hugh

January 14, 2023 • 31 mins

This website has been silent since October 27, which is nothing overly different. It will fall silent for days, weeks, and sometimes months at a time because I get caught up in the busyness of life and after all, this personal page is just a “hobby.”

Episode 84: How are you filling the room?

October 26, 2022 • 17 mins

Sidenote on the Scott Cast – there is no fixed time. I just start talking and stop when I am finished. The idea for this Scott Cast came in the shower – where most ideas for me come from. I got excited and then I lost inspiration. I talked myself out of it. In the Scott Cast – at the 2:04 mark, I mention a link to a blog post I wrote in 2019

Episode 83: Time is short

October 19, 2022 • 24 mins

And I need to throw something out there. I believe I have said this before, but I am a “procrastinating perfectionist.” I visualize something – you name it – a podcast, blog post, home improvement project, etc. – and then procrastinate setting out on that which I visualize because it will never be as perfect in the natural as it is in my visualization. ...

Episode 81: Societal rot and what I believe to be the problem

June 2, 2022 • 20 mins

The nation experienced another tragic school massacre yesterday. On cue, the same old arguments have emerged and I, for one, tire of the same old arguments. It’s not about guns. It’s about societal rot—the decay of a nation’s soul. Does this nation no longer believe in the sanctity of life?
