The eagerly anticipated launch of "FlixPop Radio" is scheduled for January 11, 2025. Tune in to the show on 98.3FM WTBQ and 93.5FM WGHT, reaching North Jersey, NYC, and Orange County, New York. It's also available on 1500 & 1110 AM, and you can stream it nationwide by visiting www.WTBQ.Com.
The show, hosted by rookie radio host Paul Bastante, is a talk show focused on movies and pop culture topics, including reality TV, books, podcasts, other mediums. Each week, the show features a different guest while highlighting specific movie genres and encouraging listeners to call in and participate in the show.
The inaugural episode of the show will feature the horror film genre and special in-studio guest Rob Errera, author of the book series "Autism Dad," about his experiences as father of an autistic child. Errera is also a musician and a certified horror film enthusiast.
Each week, the FlixPop Radio Show receives reports from correspondents in the field, including "Officially Reviewed" with Alison Lukin, "The Reality Wrap" with Shelli Williams and Santiago's "Peoples Podcast" Five-Star podcast recommendation. The show also offers prize giveaways such as tickets to Mt. Pete's Ski Area in Warwick, valued at $170., as well as dinner and movie giveaways.
Bastante offers a comfortable and progressive style and has been engaging with New Jersey's most prominent and influential figures for over three decades. This includes performers, politicians, city officials, and musicians.
He is also a filmmaker, writing, directing, and narrating "Bloomingdale: An American Small Town" (2017), "Before A Nation: The Story of Pequannock" (2018), "Hills & Valleys: A Journey Through Wayne, N.J." (2019), and his latest documentary film, "Friendly Tolerable Characters of Pompton" (2024).
He has always had a passion for movies and radio, and he admired the work of John Facenda, known as "The Voice of God", the renowned narrator of "Inside The NFL," a football highlight show from the 1980s. "I would hit record on the tape recorder and do the play-by-play of the highlights each week, mimicking the voice of God," Bastante mentioned, adding, "I've been using my voice for projects for over four decades, which has led me to this amazing opportunity to be on the radio."
Bastante also owns Silk City Films, a company specializing in producing historical documentaries about towns and cities in New Jersey and New York. In addition to being a writer, he created his podcast, "The Silk City Podcast," and is set to launch two additional shows in 2025 "The Reset" with Stephanie Shore and "Tony T's Road Show," a podcast about the local music scene in North Jersey, hosted by Bastante and Producer Tony Talamo.
