Episode: Radio Base Camp with Steve di Costanzo | 10/25/16

 HOST: Steve di Costanzo  89.5-FM Bridgeport.  Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties in CT and Suffolk county (North Fork and The Hamptons ) New York.

RADIO BASE CAMP: (scroll down for this morning's music artists) Was just chatting online with a trek company in Nepal who said the season is good this Fall...not at pre-earthquake levels but good. If you ever get the chance to go there- GO! I have a fun show planned. Always interested to play with the flow...and highlight both old(er) songs and new releases. Feel an obligation to both. There's great music of course that has come before and great music being made new every day that will be retro one day. Artists on tap: Kevin Ayers, Air, La Femme, Lee Hazelwood & Suzi Jane Hokum, Grace Jones, Alex Puddu, Climax Blues Band, Mike Bloomfield (with our own WPKN's Mark Naftalin on keyboards, CSNY, David Byrne, Oasis, Paul & The Tall Trees, Devendra Bahnhart, The Orb, Eros & the Eschaton, Balkan Beat Box, Love, Lou Reed, Grateful Dead, Dwight Yoakam, Natural Child, The Screaming Blu Messiahs, Iggy Pop and...? (gear pic a Mountain Throw-back Tuesday addition) Tune in at 7am. Washing water/then coffee at 6:30am. WPKN 89.5-FM in Bridgeport, CT

Show: Radio Base Camp hosted by Steve di Costanzo

  • Radio Base Camp hosted by Steve di Costanzo is NOW heard every Tuesday morning from 7am to 9am

 My friend Howard Thompson is doing his show 'pure' on 1st & 3rd  Fridays as I've shifted during the day to being the GM of WPKN. . Just bear in mind that the last Friday of the month is reserved for Chris Frantz and his show- "Chris Frantz the Talking Head"

 

  • I have given up my late night show Radio Base Camp-Late Night on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights from 11:00pm to 2:00am. Because of my new weekly morning music show.  See seperate related episodes

 

  • RADIO BASE CAMP focuses on the newest indie rock, 60s beat-punk,psych, garage-fuzz, surf, 70s punk, 60s greasy soul & r'n'b shakers, 50s R&R, exotica, afrobeat, jamaican ska/rocksteady and beyond We play deep tracks and unpolished gems, songs you may remember and ones you might not have heard, along with demos, rarities, alternative takes and all kinds of great music that doesn't get played that often.  We also feature new music by current bands, many of whom are influenced by the 60's (and beyond). We do live and telephone interviews with musicians, producers, and chroniclers of an era spanning from the 1950's to present day. We aim to highlight and focus on music with great song writing, sounds and production, having a lot of fun in the process...

 

  • a little history....RADIO BASE CAMP is a radio show that I started in 2007 on live365.com internet radio.  It became a weekly WPKN  "overnight" in early 2008  from Sunday into Monday for two years before moving to Friday afternoons  in September 2009 with my part-time co-host, Eric Cocks.  In early 2010,  I decided to focus on my own programming and me and Eric reconfigured our weekly radio show into two seperate and distinct shows: Radio Base Camp with hosted Steve di Costanzo and Connections ...With Eric Cocks.  Starting July 1, 2012 I became the paid GM of WPKN and phased out my "working hours" show.  I now can be heard every Tuesday morning from 7am to 9am.
