#71 - Rosanna Scotto: From Brooklyn Accent to Broadcast Icon
from Nothing Left Unsaid · host Tim Green & Troy Green
For nearly four decades, Rosanna Scotto has been one of the most trusted and recognizable voices in New York television. But her path to becoming a broadcast icon was anything but easy. In this candid conversation, Rosanna opens up about the early days of her career—when her Brooklyn accent and being a woman in a male-dominated newsroom were seen as obstacles instead of strengths. She shares the stories behind the biggest moments she’s covered, including the heartbreak of 9/11 and the shifting landscape of journalism in the age of social media. Rosanna also reflects on her family’s deep roots in New York, her faith, and what it takes to balance a demanding career with a rich family life—both at home and in her family’s beloved restaurant, Fresco by Scotto. This episode is a celebration of perseverance, authenticity, and the power of staying true to yourself no matter who tells you it can’t be done.
