Nino Del Padre , president of Del Padre Visual Productions Inc. (DVP), a multimedia production firm, will appear as an in-studio guest on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio Tuesday, July 17.
Del Padre has already been featured on Howard Stern News three times in the last two months, after launching of a Web site and a series of multimedia-based products for frequent Howard Stern Show guest Riley Martin. The success of the projects led to the live Stern appearance.
“I’m thrilled that our work is receiving this kind of national attention,” said Del Padre. “We’ve excelled in the national market in the past, but never with a project like this. It’s my hope that we’ll be able to showcase our talents to an entirely new audience through Howard Stern.”
The Riley Martin Web site and e-commerce projects were first lauded on Howard Stern News after a one-page introduction of the site, rileymartin.tv, went live. Del Padre took the project on himself, creating a dynamic teaser that blends video and Flash animation and resembles a movie trailer.
Following the broadcast, visits to DVP's Web site, delpadre.com, increased 100-fold.
The site features other products produced by DVP, including an audiobook of Martin's novel, The Coming Of Tan, as well as a Riley Martin ringtones, answering machine messages, and talking bobbleheads. Riley Martin merchandise including t-shirts, mugs, and bumper stickers is also available for sale on the site.
Ralph Howard, part of the Howard Stern News team, praised the site's preliminary design.
"How on earth did Riley get such a big-time Web site going?" he said on-air. "What's billed as the Official Riley Martin site is out of this world, with just the design of the introduction."
Martin is one of the Stern show's more colorful characters. Author of The Coming of Tan, his television and radio appearances on national programs including Coast to Coast AM, Jerry Springer, and London, England's Resonance 104.4 have earned Martin a cult following and a place in pop culture history.
