FanExpo Philadelphia was the first time the entire podcast team had met in person for their first panel on April 10, 2022.
Taking inspiration from his Jewish entertainment heroes, Robert Palmer, along with childhood friend Eric Horowitz, created "The Potchki Chronicles" in 2001, a hokey, low-budget film that they reprised as a podcast "The Potchki Audio Chronicles'' in 2019.
"The Potchki Audio Chronicles," a de facto sequel to the film, is a scripted comedy where inept sleuth Potchki teams up with pseudo-intelligent and hyper serious I.M. Nebbish to stop crimes in the underbelly of a very fictionalized, very Eastern European Philadelphia-esque metropolitan.
Like Potchki, sidekick Nebbish - and the rest of the podcast's characters - draw heavily on Yiddish vocabulary. Nebbish in Yiddish means timid and submissive, foreshadowing the sidekick as ineffective against recurring villain Flaczki, whose name derives from a Polish tripe soup Robert Palmer deems "absolutely disgusting."
