Hi! I’m Laurie Cataldo, hanging out with you weekdays from 10-3p, doing everything I can to make your workday better! In the studio, you'll usually find me reading news articles of all kinds, while singing along to whatever song is playing. Outside the studio, I love good food, Penn State, The Real Housewives franchises (my guilty pleasure), and brilliant sunsets. I'm also dying to be on a game show -- I'd rock Wheel of Fortune. I'm a Jersey girl through and through -- I love spending time at my favorite casinos in AC, walking through Smithville, and my yearly fave: looking for yummy treats at the Hammonton Blueberry Festival! Something on your mind? Let me know about it anytime at laurie@literock969.com!
Laurie Cataldo.
