It was at K-ROCK where Brian met Howard Stern and began working for him as a writer, producer and as the 'voice' of the Howard Stern Show. After years of voice-over's and creating ridiculous bits for Howard, the opportunity to work for Martha Stewart presented itself. Brian became the host of a 4 hour live talk show on Martha Stewart Living Radio, nationwide 5 days a week. During this time he started doing appearances on Martha's TV show demonstrating DIY projects. As a licensed contractor with extensive knowledge in this space the visibility led to appearances on The Today Show, HGTV, FOX, and eventually landed Brian a short run home renovation television show on NBC called 'Kelsey On The House'.

Barry Scott is the host of Radio specialty show, “The Lost 45s.” “The Lost 45s” is home to America’s Largest Classic Hits Music & Interview Library with Barry Scott as curator of charted records that no longer receive adequate airplay. The daily and weekly programs have been in national syndication since 1993, heard in over 60 markets. “The Lost 45s” has America’s largest library of over 1,000 EXCLUSIVE recording artist interviews.

Barry is also an author. His first book is titled, “We Had Joy, We Had Fun,” published by Faber & Faber, and is an international bestseller. “The Lost 45s” has been recognized by many national publications, including Billboard, Radio and Records, Rolling Stone, Spin and the New York Daily News. Barry Scott has appeared on VH-1’s “Behind The Music,” CNN, “Good Morning America,” “Entertainment Tonight” and Howard Stern. He is recognized nationally as one of the foremost authorities on pop music.

Barry’s radio career started at age 5 in his bedroom, announcing records, news and weather. He often laments the existence of a cassette tape of one such show, secretly recorded by his father. Barry’s Middle School music teacher encouraged him to attempt a broadcasting career.

“The Lost 45s” began at Emerson College in 1981.

In part two of this four part AIRCHECK session, Barry reveals how so many music publications get artist facts wrong, including the real story around Captain and Tennille’s wedding day. Barry also tells us how the The Lost 45’s show is produced with his thousands of audio clips and train wreck segues. We hear some of his many interviews including Beach Boy Brian Wilson and Cher. Plus how his conversation with Smokey Robinson landed him a call from Aretha Franklin and almost Stevie Wonder. Also hear how an on air Whitney Houston tribute, the day she died, almost got him fired.
