Hi everyone! My name is Scott and I’ll be your friendly chef. Actually, I’m not really a chef, but I do enjoy cooking. I’m a private investigator by trade and I know how hard it is to eat healthy every day. For the sake of honestly, I’ll let you know that I grab a fast food meal just about every day and I know how bad it is for me. That’s why I try to cook healthy for my family each night. There’s nothing worse than a Whopper for lunch followed up by Domino’s Pizza because you were too lazy to cook.

I realize that cooking is a chore for some, so I’m going to try and make it fun. I’m going to pare down recipes so they are quick and easy, using minimal ingredients if possible, while at the same time keeping things healthy and tasty.

Why should you care? Because it’s your health, and along the way, mine too. And if you have kids, cook with them. It won’t make things quicker or easier, but you’ll be instilling in them good eathing habits that will take them through life.

~Scott

Hello Everyone,

We’re working on getting our 4th podcast recorded sometime this week. GeekFit has gotten a bit of an upgrade with some new studio equipment (we’ll be sure to mention all the new equipment in the show notes). Jason is working on getting the studio setup and running a few test before we record. One we have that done we’re hoping this will improve the quality of the recordings.
We have also launched our new network hub named PodcastRiot.com which our listeners can use to access the other shows in the network.

Since we haven’t recorded yet we’re still taking suggestions. If you have a suggestion or comment please leave us a voicemail: (360) 450-5026
