Larry Berger originated the program on WYEP in Pittsburgh in March 1978 and was soon joined by sidekick/producer Bill Lucker. SLB Radio Productions, Inc., was formed in 2000 to guide the program's growth and ensure focus on its mission of encouraging genuine expression in and among children and adults. In 2001, SLB and Children's Museum of Pittsburgh entered into an agreement whereby SLB would move its offices and studios to the soon-to-be expanded museum. Lucker elected to take a sabbatical in early 2003 and remained involved on the Advisory Board. He died in 2008 after a courageous fight with cancer. In November 2003, SLB moved its Pittsburgh affiliation from WYEP to WRCT. The museum studios opened in November 2004 and are now the site of live broadcasts and off-air workshops.
