Scott co-hosts Challenge Mania, the number one podcast regarding MTV’s long-running Reality TV competition: The Challenge with fan-favorite and three-time Challenge champion Derrick Kosinski. The duo has welcomed a plethora of the show’s significant players that range from rising star cast members such as Jay Starrett and Tula “Big T” Fazakerley and show legends Johnny Bananas and Cara Maria Sorbello.
