Lara Scott can be heard on the radio in Southern California every weekday from 10a—3p on K-EARTH 101.
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 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 theatre that shows classic films on the big screen every weekend, and she now serves on their advisory board. The theatre was also featured in her first book, From the Corner of Hollywood and Vine: 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, snowboarding, horseback riding, at yoga class, and attending lots of concerts and films. She is also a certified family herbalist and aromatherapist.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
~ V.E. Schwab
In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.
