IAP 18: Tony Reali on faith, food, and fatherhood, Part 2 of 2.
This episode features the second part of our two-part interview with Tony Reali of ESPN's "Around the Horn" (you can listen to part 1 here). In this episode, Reali talks about his faith, including wearing ashes on his show, his diet that has caused some stress for him with his family, and also his thoughts on fatherhood. We also celebrate fathers on this Father’s Day in our Italian American Story Segment at the end of the episode.
Tony Reali joined ESPN in July 2000 and in September 2001 became researcher for ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," a role that evolved into daily on-air appearances correcting factual errors by co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon at the end of each show.
In February 2004, Reali was named host of "Around the Horn," a show for which he had been a regular fill-in host and guest panelist. Prior to joining ESPN, Reali was sportscaster for WFUV 90.7 FM at Fordham University, serving as the voice of the men's football and basketball teams and hosting New York City's longest-running sports call-in show. He also served as beat reporter for the New York Yankees, Mets, Giants, and Jets.
