Jay Scott Confidential

Episode 88 -- The Double Ocho! -- of The People's Podcast is here after a delay and we're back at it again despite everything. This week, we talk about how racism has become en vogue in this country -- from the shootings in Louisville & Pittsburgh to the MAGA Bomber to the Oval Office's insane fantasies about migrants. Remember: We warned you in 2016. Then, Jay talks about the DJ Durkin Debacle at the University of Maryland and wonders aloud "WTF were they thinking?"

Episode 87 of The People's Podcast does yet another unexpected follow-up on Episode 74!? This time, it touches on Kanye West, but not in the way you think. On #MentalHealthDay, Jay gets real about his mental health, why attributing Kanye's incredible ignorance to his Bipolar Disorder is irresponsible, and he implores you to get the help you need. Then, Jimmy Butler channeled his inner Ric Flair and had himself a day as he continues to try to get out of Minnesota, why the Pistons and Red Wings are changing seats at Little Caesars Arena, how he has been wrong (and right) about the Lions, and why you need to not take your life cues from Golden Tate.

Episode 86 of The People's Podcast does an unexpected follow-up on Episode 74 back in April as Bill Cosby was formally sentenced to prison for sexual assault, capping of a fall from grace that was decades in the making. Jay shoots hard on the Cosby enablers who are trying to make a case about the assault of dozens of women over 50 years into a case of racism. We're not playing that here. Plus: We pull out the infamous 2004 speech that came back to bite Bill in the ass. But First: We thank ALL of you for making Episode 85 the MOST DOWNLOADED EPISODE EVER!!!! Illingsworth's new album "You're No Fun" drops on Friday.

The landmark 85th Episode of The People's Podcast welcomes another illustrious guest: Award-winning television journalist Brittany Noble.

She's a St. Louis native who had spent nearly a decade in TV working around the country.

Brittany is best known as the woman who first broke the story on St. Louis NBC Affilaite KMOV of the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014.

She joins us to talk about her career, what inspired her to get into TV, what happened when she got the call to come in that day, the story behind her #BlackJournalistsMatter shirts, her work in Flint, Mich., how she battled a TV station in Mississippi to simply be treated fairly, and how she is starting her second act in New York as a reporter and author. (Interview starts at 32:25 mark)

Plus: Jay shoots hard on being a black man in journalism, the importance of representation, his experiences with newsroom politics, the "controversial" 2016 column that got pulled off a news site in 90 minutes, and what needs to change to help the industry diversify.

Episode 84 is here and it's sure to be hotter than a white dude's Nikes. The People's Podcast returns to touch on the firestorm started by Nike's brave decision to re-up with the exiled Colin Kaepernick for its 30th Anniversary "Just Do It" campaign and the nationwide hissy fit it set off in Red Hat America. Then, Jay gives you his take on the upcoming NFL season, including his outlook on the Detroit Lions (hint: It could get ugly). Illingsworth's new album "You're No Fun" drops Sept. 28.

Episode 83 is here people! After a bit of a delay, the People's Podcast is back and Jay takes a look back at his time at #NABJ18, including the cool feeling of the convention being in the Motor City, what that means to him, and how Detroit has changed for the better. Then, we take time to remember the Queen of Soul -- Aretha Franklin -- including her influence on pop culture, her allegiance and love for the city of Detroit, her greatness, her legacy, and her influence on all of us. Plus, we take a second to remember Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart as pro wrestling has had a terrible month.

Episode 82 is here, brother. And it gets raw and to the point about WWE reinstating Hulk Hogan. As seen on Medium and in Vibe Magazine, we hit everything from Jay's first time seeing the Hulkster as a child, to what he was doing the day he saw Hogan's name trending on Twitter for the worst of reasons, to his thoughts on the history of Race, Rap, and Wrestling, to nostalgia will not heal this wound. (Warning: Very Strong Language; t/w: Racial Slurs) Then, DeMar DeRozan, a JSC favorite, became the latest victim of "loyalty" in pro sports. He stayed "loyal" to the Raptors through it all...only to end up getting shipped out of Toronto for a dude who doesn't wanna be there. I don't even hate to say I told you so. Come get this work!
