Lara Scott

RADIO HOST & WRITER

Lara Scott is a national air talent who can be heard on the radio every weekday on K-EARTH 101/Los Angeles, Sunny 98.1/San Diego, and Big 94.5/Phoenix.

 Born in Southwest Florida, Lara headed to Oregon after high school.  She got into radio in Bend, Oregon, after calling a local station on a dare from a friend, and then continued her broadcasting career in Portland.  After graduating with a B.S. in Philosophy from Portland State University, she moved to San Francisco to become the music director and nighttime air personality at KZQZ 95.7.  She then spent almost seven years as the midday host at KYSR Star 98.7 in Los Angeles, followed by almost a decade in mornings and middays at KFSH 95.9 The Fish.

 Her passion for preservation and history led her to Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo, a historic theater that shows classic films on the big screen every weekend, and she now serves on their advisory board. The theater was also featured in her first book, From the Corner of Hollywood and diVine: Your Guide to 30 Old Hollywood-Inspired Spots in Southern California.

 Lara was a 2008 President’s Volunteer Service Award winner, which was presented by recording artist Michael W. Smith on behalf of President George W. Bush for her charity work.  In her free time, she can be found hanging out with her young son and daughter at theme parks, practicing yoga, spending time in nature, and attending movie screenings and musicals.
