Peckhammer TV
Peckhammer TV is an Internet TV show about motorcycling, racing and general information. The show documents the efforts of riders and racers who are passionate about the sport; the hosts speak with people in the motorcycle industry about products and services, and each show brings with it an educational element.
Peckhammer TV was created by David E. Aldrich, AKA Peckhammer, who is the writer, director, editor and producer. Aldrich is known in the new media field for his early work in podcasting.[1] Together with his assistant producer, Juliette Pezé ("Girl Wonder"), the two fly around the United States to document the industry and interview notable riders such as racing great Eddie Mulder, and Hollywood stunt woman Alisa Hensley-Lane.[2]
Peckhammer TV has been operating as an independent, self-financed, nonprofit project. Peckhammer has focused on stories that are not usual for television, such as racing support teams. This, and the fact that assistant producer Pezé is tri-lingual and can conduct interviews in several languages, makes the show notable.[2]
Peckhammer TV debuted in 2007, and has gained an international following. New webisodes are released monthly via several online outlets. The webisode "Bob Milewsky, 2008 Chehalis Classic" was written about in Racer X online magazine.
