The chat is in the second and third segments, and you will come away from the conversation with a renewed respect for our press, especially the local press.

​The Rotunda #496 05/13/26 - It's another hard-hitting episode of the Rotunda as the show inches ever so closer to that 500-episode mark. Once again, Producer Ryan Fox slides over into the host seat as fellow producer Matt Carvalho joins him in studio. 

​Tonight's episode, the two lead off with the shocking development up in Cambridge, Massachusetts as there was an active shooting in the middle of a day. The worst part is that the offender had been in jail for a similar offense before but a judge decided to let him out early. Is this the new norm for the judicial system? Should judges who fail to perform their duty/let out criminals early be held responsible as well (i.e. how a bartender can be held responsible for a drunk driver).

The duo then pay their respects to former NBA player Jason Collins, who was the first professional athlete in the 4 major sports to come out as homosexual back in 2013, as he passed away earlier in the week at the age of 45. How did his coming out change modern sports as well as society? How inspirational was he? 

Plus Matt made a very important announcement in regards to Election 2026 that could affect the future of the city of Pawtucket (aka, Scott's home city). All that and more on the latest episode. Be sure to click down below to give a listen!

​The Rotunda #494 04/29/26 - Anyone familiar with horror movies and who has cable has heard of Svengoolie - the iconic host of a weekly show every Saturday night out of Chicago. He has a worldwide following and millions of devoted fans, of which I am one! In the third segment, I'm, talking with a fellow member of r/Svengoolie on Reddit about the Svengoolie phenomenon, what makes it so fun, and why you should check it out if you haven't already! 

In the first half of the show, I get a little analytical about the habits and motives of lying - what causes people to fabricate stories and slights, particularly to their friends?

The Rotunda #492 04/15/26 - The Scott-Free Arc of The Rotunda continues on. Only this time, it's Matt Carvalho of The Playbook sliding into the host's seat this time around instead of Ryan Fox.

During the time, the two talk about the fallout of the Dianna Russini-Mike Vrabel scandal, with Russini resigning from The Athletic while, for the time being, Vrabel receiving no punishment from the Patriots organization (fair or foul?). They also discuss the fall of California Representative (D) Eric Swalwell after it came out he had sexual assault multiple former female staffers of his.

Then on a lighter note, the two breakdown WWE's upcoming Wrestlemania 42, what matches to checkout, their thoughts about the match-ups, and more. All that and a bag of chips on this episode of The Rotunda.

The Rotunda #488 04/01/26 - Although it's April Fools, doesn't mean we'll be fooling around. 

With the SAVE Act on the table, many questions have arisen. What does it mean for my access to a polling place, and if my rights are endangered, what can be done about it? Kelly Doran joins us tonight to talk about what Rhode Islanders are doing to make sure that no legal voters will have their accessibility restricted. This conversation in the third segment is a must-listen, so be sure to check ut out. 

Ryan and I are tackling local and national issues in the first half of the show, including URI's Tammi Reiss moving on, a local zoo being saved from the chopping block and even - this is so cool - a bunch of new species being discovered on Earth!

The Rotunda #487 03/18/26 - Another Scott-free episode this time around. But this time, it's the producers taking over the show. Yup, you have *Chief Producer Ryan Fox (*= He's not a chief, we just wanted to boost his ego) sliding into the host's chair and fellow producer Matt Carvalho as his co-host. 

Tonight, they talk a multitude of topics such as celebrity Alan Ritchson getting into with a neighbor that followed the script of an episode of The Reacher (guess who the producers picked in this scenario) as well as pay their respects to the Legendary Icon known as Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris listens to 990WBOB to make sure the producers stay in line or else).

But with the good/funny come the bad as Matt delves into a pretty big ponzi scheme within a Providence school and the two get a little heated talking about the Loyola murder and fallout from that. 

All that and a bag of chips on this latest episode. Be sure to give a listen!

The Rotunda #487 03/18/26 - Scott and Fox debate the war in Iran during the third segment, it's a good sparring match with a lot of good points so you want to be sure to check that out

In the first segment you will hear about a unique, and honestly good, way to curb cell phone use in school. Also, if you are in the rug business, Scott is giving you the inside scoop on a quick way to make $70,000
