Full Hour | In today’s second hour, Tracy Davidson, anchor for NBC10, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the newest effort by the NBC10 Responds investigative crew. Earlier this year, Davidson and others in the newsroom started receiving reports of checks that have been stolen out of mailboxes, altered, and then cashed, stealing money from the account holders of the check. Davidson takes us inside the newsroom, telling how they learned about this issue, and telling how these criminals are taking these checks. Davidson tells that many of the criminals are stealing checks from USPS blue boxes on corners throughout Philadelphia, with criminals using universal ‘arrow’ keys to open the boxes and steal the checks. Dom then reveals that he himself has suffered through this type of fraud, revealing that now twice he’s had checks stolen, altered, and had to deal with the banks to get his money back.
Then, Scott Cronick, media critic in Atlantic City, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to tell Dom and listeners what’s worth watching over Labor Day weekend. First, Dom asks Cronick about the release of Elvis to the HBO Max streaming service, with both telling how much they enjoyed the film when seeing it in theaters. This spurns a conversation about biopics, with both Dom and Scott offering suggestions for what should be considered the great biopics of all time. Then, Dom asks Scott what’s coming up in Atlantic City, with Cronick telling of an upcoming restaurant week in the city and a concert tonight feature Frank Stallone and his brother, famed Rocky actor Sylvester Stallone. Finally, Scott tells us what’s worth watching in both theaters and at home, telling of the Brad Pitt film Bullet Train, and previewing both the Lord of the Rings series and the newest installment in the Game of Thrones saga.
