Peeper Radio Theatre occurs as class action of guys around New York City that create audio comedy.
Where the Name Came From
the seed of the idea that would germinate into Peeper number 1 occurred around 1999 while a immature Jeff Somogyi, and an as well-young Nathan Ryan heard an episode of The Goon Show. Elysian to run audio-comedy, Nate & Jeff, so attending Syracuse University, went to an open require fresh shows at a college radio station. At a period, it experienced there are no idea what a format would become, nor did it stand any story ideas. It known as their notion of an idea Mr. Show - not realizing that there was a hit sketch-comedy show of the same name airing on Showtime. After it observed retired that it experienced inadvertantly stolen a title, it quickly tried to came higher by owning something fresh. Away from nowhere, Nate shouted, "PEEPER!", & a title stuck. Still, a indicate was does'nt to exist as, upright so, for the radio station was non wanting to find such shows.
The title "peeper" doesn't refer to the deviant, however to the Spring Peeper, the frog - so a Peeper Frog for the logotype.
Inception
Once Nate & Jeff were turned down by their college radio station, a idea was put aside & astir forgotten about. So, around 2002, Jeff was e-mailing back & forth by using Nate & one of the babies mentioned "Peeper". Bluffing his way into the subject, Jeff said that he got plenty of ideas by owning which to begin a radio indicate. Naturally, this intended that Nate would ask what it were. Wear a spot, Jeff quickly come higher by having ii script ideas that would turn into a number 1 2 good-length episodes; "Rock, Paper, Murder!" & "A Slice of Murder Pie!".
Within the lucky coincidence, Mark Vitelli, another school-friend field officer Nate & Jeff's, happened to become working at the recording studio. Whenever Jeff approached Mark for advice all about training make such the venture when what he was scheming, Mark replied, "Er...you know I WORK at a studio...we can do it here". So, Peeper had themselves access to the office studio.
A go tool Peeper required was occasionally extra voice talent. In another lucky coincidence, Jeff met David Pietrandrea at a reciprocal friend's birthday person inside July 2002. Hitting it remove from either the 1st (each gentlemen have a super similar feel of humor) Jeff knew that Dave would produce a hone addition to the class action. Jeff asked, Dave agreed, & a core of Peeper Radio Theatre (Somogyi, Pietrandrea, Ryan, Vitelli) was formed.
Inside August 2002, these tetrad met, first everthing together, to record "Rock, Paper, MURDER!".
