Episode: Radio Base Camp- THE FRENZY 2.0! 4/1/17
Host: Steve di Costanzo - Radio Base Camp on WPKN 89.5-FM (Bridgeport)
'The Frenzy' a dj dance night that I hosted with Bart Mellits in the Pub at Georgetown U in 1980. We held down Wed nights with the best in ska, new wave and punk. Crates of LP's in a shopping cart and long walks back home but first a stop at what we affectionately called the PLO cafe for an early breakfast. I'll walk a bit of that old path as I host a @Radio Base Camp show from 7am to 9am. A bit early I realize but will be raising money for WPKN as part of PUNK ATTITUDE.
Frenzy 2.0 along with us! And go online or call in to say hello 203-384-9756 and pledge.

- 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.
