HOST: Steve di Costanzo, WPKN 89.5-FM. Every Tuesday 7am-9am. Comments to radiobasecamp@gmail.com
good marning to WPKN 89.5-FM....base campers. Washing water and coffee ready. A light drizzle on the ground- snow up higher. Getting organized with some music that will take off in a different direction but one with a nod to 40 years ago.
So...expect to hear some and old and some new from artists such as Suzi Quattro, Hintermass, Gilberto Gil & Caetano Veloso, Frijid Pink, The Big Bright, Stereolab, Cait Brennan, Biz Markie, The Luck of Eden Hall, Palehound, Deep Purple, Joe Henderson,Spirit, Kendrick Lamar, Andrew Bird, Biff Rose, Buyepongo, Africaine 808, Gabriel Birnbaum, Gothic Chicken, Christian Loffler and others. I think (hope) it will all hang together like a good rope team moving up the mountain. More on the show at www/facebook.com/radiobasecamp. Stream later at wpkn.org

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.
