Ira tells the story about how Scott first got into radio. He was listening to a story on the radio one day, thought "I can do that," and promptly hitchhiked across the country to Washington, to the headquarters of NPR. (3 minutes)

Act One. The Test.

At a fairly bleak time in his life, Scott took a job driving all over the state of Utah, interviewing people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia. His job was to administer a standard test, which measured mental health. The more interviews he conducted and the more familiar he became with the questions on the test, the more he began to wonder about his own sanity. (15 minutes)


Song: " I Travel Alone," Noel Coward


Act Two. The Friendly Man.

It's another not-so-great period in Scott's life. This time he takes a job inside his profession, as a producer for a national commercial radio program. His boss is a nationally recognized host who Scott refers to only as "The Friendly Man." Again, things don't go so well. (16 minutes)

Act Three. Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?

Scott goes on a quest to discover if the amnesia in the movies—where someone gets bonked on the head and forgets everything—ever happens in real life. And if so, could he, somehow, get it to happen to him? (10 minutes)

Song: "Don't Forget Me," Marianne Faithfull


Act Four. The Day Mom and Dad Fell in Love.

Scott interviews his 11-year-old daughter about his marriage. She sheds light on the previous three stories in the show. (7 minutes)

Song: "You Make Me Love You," Jack Jones
