A good song is twice the fun! Join WPKN programmers for two days of musical games as we play covers from all genres and the originals that started it all, as we fundraise to support the station and our imminent move to new digs.
This special programming invites deep dives into our archives and takes a look at great songwriting from yesterday, today and tomorrow.
What better way to start the weekend than with a feel-good, kaleidoscopic journey down musical rabbit holes in support of your community radio station, the little station that can, WPKN?
Please join us and please consider donating to what will be our costliest and most ambitious project to date: our move and renovation of our new home in downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut. Don’t touch that dial! 89.5 is the place to be this Thursday & Friday…

Kevin Gallagher likes to dig. Ask him to tell you about his life, and don’t be surprised if he digs up a tale about traveling the world with the Eurythmics or that he’s been digging WPKN since he became a DJ in 1972.
