Matt Dangelantonio
I oversee production of all LAist newscasts throughout the day, working with hosts, producers, reporters and editors to make sure that the stories you hear on our radio airwaves are timely, accurate, interesting and give you information you need to navigate and make sense of daily life in Southern California.
I'm also a former senior producer of AirTalk with Larry Mantle and FilmWeek. I started at LAist in 2014 (back when it was still KPCC) as an associate producer on AirTalk.
Before coming to LAist, I was a producer, reporter, and host with Cox Media Group in Jacksonville, Florida, where I covered daily top stories, severe weather, and breaking news on the radio and TV. My work has been featured on NPR, BBC, AP Radio News, Fox News Radio, the NFL Network on Sirius XM and HLN as well as local radio and TV affiliates across the country.
I grew up in New Hampshire and will always be a New Englander at heart, but I've grown to love my new home in Southern California. In my spare time, you might find me chasing down a good al pastor taco or the best locally-brewed suds, in the outfield bleachers at a baseball game (scoring it on paper, of course), or exploring the West Coast and the world with my family.
