LOUD: How a shy nerd came to Philadelphia and turned up the volume in the most passionate sports city in America by Angelo Cataldi
For over three decades, Angelo Cataldi was the on-air voice of Philadelphia sports fans, leading the charge with unabashed zeal and infectious energy. He was the maestro of the mania, the conductor of the symphony of vitriol that blared through car radios every morning in the most misunderstood yet passionate sports city in America.
It made him his share of enemies, but he walked away from the microphone with enough stories for several lifetimes—or one jam-packed, lively memoir.
LOUD is an exuberant chronicle of Cataldi's life, from his childhood as a self-described "king nerd" to the traditional newspaper career he left behind, and his eventual rise to the top of the Philadelphia sports radio scene on WIP.
Through it all, Cataldi remained dedicated to his mission of talking about what the city was talking about, in the same tone. And that tone was loud, passionate, and unapologetically real.
Full of encounters with athletes, personalities, and power brokers as well as candid reflections, LOUD is a must-read for die-hard Philadelphia sports fan and anyone who appreciates a good story.

I thoroughly enjoyed Angelo's walk through Memory Lane! As a fan of WIP it was fun as he reminisced about his life on the station and as a fan. Highly recommend "Loud"!
I have not had a chance to read the book yet due to illness but am pleased at the speed of delivery and the quality of service as usual. Glad i could get the autographed copy
Thanks
