  • Play-by-Playcast Ep. 17 (Matt Martucci / beIN Sports, St. Joe's....and a lot of other places)
    Matt Martucci is one of the most well traveled broadcasters in this industry.  He's done (or still does) work for St. Joe's, Lincoln University, Fox Sports Regional, Campus Insiders, Comcast, Verizon Fios, Westwood One, Sirius/XM, WIP, The Fanatic, The Philadelphia Soul, The Atlantic City Surf, the LAX Sports Network and most recently became the lead voice for the Conference USA football package on beIN Sports.

    Matt graduated in 2006 from Syracuse University, a product of WAER radio.  Some of my earliest exposure to Tooch's work was as a freshman, sitting in my dorm room at the Sheraton Hotel -- yeah, it was sweet -- listening to him call DePaul dropping 100 on the Orange.  It's okay -- Gerry McNamara led the Orange on a crazy run to the NCAA Tournament that year.
