About

Pete Ludovice, host of Inside the Black Box will perform his one-man show, a hilarious look at science and technology and it’s practitioners at the Atlanta Fringe Festival June 5-9, 2013. Information on shows and tickets will be available soon.

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 Ludovice and Bill Hunt 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 100,000 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. Bill has moved on, but we are looking for a new co-host to keep Pete from spiraling into a dark place on the air.

Pete Ludovice is an Associate Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology specializing in polymer physics and the computer simulation of synthetic and biological polymeric materials. He often appears in educational and other venues as a stand-up comedian.

Trent Altman is our sound engineer who is usually working the board for the show while he is putting up with Pete and Bill’s insanity. He is a discrete mathematics major at Georgia Tech and also works as a software engineer for Asankya. He is co-host of Electric Boogaloo, WREK’s program on soul and funk music. He likes coffee and furry things.
