Angelo Cataldi Stops By The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti
As all of you loyal listeners of The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti know, we have been the morning drive show on MGK for about four months now. We are still in our beginning stages, so we figured we would get some advice from a guy who ruled the morning show landscape in this city for 33 years — Angelo Cataldi!
It was such a thrill to have Angelo Cataldi stop by our studio the other day to chat about his new book titled, “LOUD.”
By the way, I would totally recommend you read his book — even if you are not a sports fan — because there are tons of fantastic stories about his career in it that anyone would find fascinating.
Angelo Cataldi put sports radio on the map in our fine city and really knew how to engage the listeners and sports fans alike.
He became the voice of the Philadelphia sports fans with his great storytelling skills and genuine passion as a sports radio talk show host.
As you can imagine, Angelo had a lot to say, so we decided to record a 40-minute podcast where the radio legend discussed a ton of stuff.
If you are interested, you can hear the whole thing on our website!
We talked with Angelo about everything from Al Morganti, Rhea Hughes, Cindy Webster, Keith Jones, former Pennsylvania governor, Ed Rendell, Tony Bruno, Wing Bowl, Taylor Swift, Steven Singer, Sea Isle City, and so much more!
So if you’re interested, be sure to check that out, and don’t forget to pick up a copy of “LOUD.”
Oh, and I can’t forget, our friend, Alison Dunlap, did the cover shots for the book! If you remember, she did our first photo shoot at a show as well!
What are you waiting for — go listen to the podcast and get a copy of the book from that 6’3” center from Columbia University, #1, Angelo Anthony Cataldi Jr!!!
