Which Philadelphia talk show host can judge the Miss Kensington Pageant one day, and talk with Mayor Micahel Nutter about a "New Day" in Philadelphia? Philadelphia marvel Dom Giordano.

Born and raised in South Philly, Dom’s local flavor makes him one of the region’s best-connected media personalities.

Dom is a frequent guest commentator on the Fox News Channel, CNN's "Talkback Live", Court TV, "It's Your Call" on Comcast’s CN8, NBC-10 News, and WHYY-TV 12 News Programs.

Jogging with the General
I was honored to do an exclusive  interview with General Petraeus  in August. Out of roughly 5,000 interviews that I have conducted  this was the best and most meaningful. I went away from with a great sense of thanks that this  brilliant man was commanding our forces in Iraq.

As a result of the interview and my reference to  General Petraeus'  daily running regimen of 5 miles in the heat of Iraq, we started to correspond about our running progress. I told him that I felt like a slacker for running only two milies a day. He encouraged me with some Rocky references. 

The next thing that I know I have been invited for a private run with General Petraeus on September 15th at  his home military base outside of Washington. I am training for 2 to 3 miles at an 8 :30 pace per mile. The General will probably do 6 to 8 milies.

I will be taking some special gifts that  YOU my Big Talker listeners have suggested. I will be doing a special podcast that you can get from our wsebsite after the run.  CLICK HERE to view the photos
