Scott Brody grew up in a political home in New York, where the older generations met and supported candidates and argued about politics.
In the 1960’s, a teenage Scott Brody learned from, and joined in the political and cultural ferment of the time. He marched against the war in Vietnam, listened to Jean Shepherd on WOR and to WBAI until all hours, read Ray Bradbury and Ramparts. The summer he graduated from high-school, he went to Woodstock.
After college, the author spent a few years in a political group similar to the one fictionally depicted in "The Org." Then, he got into broadcasting.
Scott Brody has a daughter and two sons and is the proud grandfather of a baby boy. He resides with his wife in Southern California.
