National Public Radio’s The Story with Dick Gordon interviewed Scott about his experiences while participating in the Mongol Rally during the summer of 2009. Thanks to Dick Gordon and his producer Janet Babin for the interview. (Split into two parts to get around YouTube’s ten minute length restriction.)

Believe it or not, there are actually two Mongol Rallies: the proper one, and a copycat one unimaginatively named the Mongolia Charity Rally. It’s a long story, but this additional rally was formed by former Mongol Rally affiliates that were unhappy with the way the original rally was being handled. The Mongolia Charity Rally‘s entry fee is less than half of the official Mongol Rally, and there are no age or engine restrictions for the vehicles involved (which leads to some teams going all-out in custom Land Rovers…a bit too prudent for my taste!).
