The Great Angelo Cataldi, former WIP morning show host talking Wing Bowl & WIP
This is one Philadelphia sports fans and sports-talk radio fans won’t want to miss. On this episode of D’You Know What I Mean?, I’m joined by legendary former WIP Morning Show host Angelo Cataldi, whose more than 30 years in Philadelphia radio helped define an era of sports talk. Angelo takes us behind the scenes of WIP’s glory days, sharing stories about the people, personalities and unforgettable moments that helped turn the station into one of the most influential sports radio stations in the country. We talk about his relationship with the late Tom Bigby, the evolution of WIP, and, of course, the phenomenon that became Wing Bowl. And yes—we get into some of the crazier moments from back in the day, including the story of how Ron Jeremy ended up on stage at Wing Bowl. It’s a conversation packed with Philadelphia sports, radio history, behind-the-scenes stories and plenty of memories from an era when sports talk radio was truly unpredictable. If you grew up listening to WIP, loved Wing Bowl, follow Philadelphia sports, or simply love great radio stories, this is a can’t-miss episode of D’You Know What I Mean? with Brett Holcomb.
