We’re kicking off a new series called “A Chat With” on CBS3. Each week, Jessica Kartalija will sit down with local celebrities and newsmakers to get a unique look at who they are. The first guest is Philadelphia sports radio icon Angelo Cataldi.

Q: How much do you love what you do every day?

“Obviously enough to do it for 29 years and to get up at three o’clock every morning for all those years. I left my hometown of Rhode Island because I wanted to go to a real sports city and I haven’t regretted it one day because it is a real sports city. I haven’t regretted it one day because it is a real sports city. The passion, the fun, this is the place I was born to be.”

Q: Do you ever stop and go, ‘it’s a game?’”

“How much does any of this really matter? I watch the news and that’s reality. I’m trying to avoid that. That’s why I went into sports because nothing is that big a deal in sports.”
