Scott Spencer
Miss 98 Programming Director & DJ
Scott had two dreams as a kid...the first was to play baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals; the second dream was to be on the radio. The Cardinals never returned his calls…but a desperate radio program director did return his call in 1986. He hasn't looked back since (unless you count the 10 years he actually tried a real job). Along the way, Scott and his wife welcomed four children into the world. Scott loves music and sports...and knows a little about a lot of things...but, as his wife points out, not too much about anything!
