'Real Talk' is getting really interesting

Steve Perri is a Middletown resident with a Comcast/Cablevision public access show called "Real Talk." The show is patterend on the Jon Stewart Show and presents issues of the day, with a twist. Mr. Perri and his brother, Jim, along with their friend, Savino Cuppari, talk to news through tasteful humor.

The show began two years ago and will begin shooting in a studio. You can find the program on (Comcast) Tuesdays, 8:30 p.m.; and (Cablevision) Saturdays at 10:30 p.m.

The channels are 97 (Comcast) and 77 (Cablevision).

Why start something like this? According to Mr. Perri, "I started it because it was a hobby in the beginning and it was fun. Since then we've gained some attention and there has been a strong response."
