If you've
never listened to a fully indpendent noncommercial radio station before
you've missed one of the most creative and inspiring forms of broadcast
radio. And WPKN is one of the best independent radio stations you're
likely to find. WPKN is a 100% listener-supported radio station
broadcasting at 89.5 FM in Bridgeport, Connecticut and 88.7 (as WPKM)
in Montauk, Long Island, New York. We also broadcast on the web and you
can get to our home page by clicking on the logo at right. We stream
live 24 hours a day and you'll find all the help you need to listen to
the stream on our home page.
I have been doing radio at WPKN for
nearly 15 years and it's been a great deal of fun and a terrific
learning experience. I actually do two shows: a solo show on the third
Tuesday of each month from 2-5:30 p.m. ET and the Beppo & Gito Mongul show with my radio
partner Ken Brown (scroll down) on the second and fifth Tuesday of each
month (and when there is a fifth Tuesday) also from 2-5:30 p.m. ET.
On my solo show I play a lot of music and interview all sorts of
people, including musicians, actors, writers, photographers,
illustrators, storytellers and almost anyone I can convince to come
into the studio (or talk on the phone) with me.
My previous radio guests (most of them in-studio) have included:
Ian "Sammy" Samwell (legendary rock
producer; John Mayall's first producer, Sir Cliff Richard's first
producer and songwriting partner, early Beatles friend and influence)
Kevin Bacon (actor & musician)
