Inside the Black Box is looking for Georgia Tech Student Interns to work as Associate Producers of the show.

Inside the Black Box started on April 1st 2006 at Radio Sandy Springs in Sandy Springs Georgia. Pete was a guest on a Radio Sandy Springs program on comedy when he met Dave Moxley, the station manager. Dave had an open time slot and Pete and Bill had big mouths so their effort to educate people about science and technology began.

In January 2008 Pete, Bill and their humorous take on science and technology moved to WREK-Atlanta where their 40,000 Watts of power covers the entire Atlanta Metro area. This move was accomplished due to the drive and vision of Brad Petrick, the WREK general manager at the time. Brad was only person who believed this idea might work while avoiding FCC sanctions. The show is featured on the SCIENCE360 website by the National Science Foundation.
