The Vanity Prodcast

Scott Lester
The Vanity Prodcast is hosted by Scott, a guy who's actually getting into the podcast game after "thinking about it" for far too long. Since he's finally deciding to do this for himself, he's jokingly (well, maybe half-jokingly) calling it his vanity project. And it's a podcast. You get it now, right? On the show, Scott will talk about, well... whatever he happens to feel like talking about that day. Primarily based on pop culture and societal observation, he'll also have some cool guests, just for good measure. To learn more about Scott, visit https://www.producerscott.com.
