WPKN PREMIUMS:

Make your travels cosmic with this vintage WPKN bumper sticker reissue.

$50 Pledge: WPKN x Karl Heine 7.25 x 4.75 notebook, made of 100% recycled material. Limited Edition of 100.

WPKN is thrilled to partner with Karl Heine on a hand-crafted WPKN 7.25 x 4.75 notebook, made of 100% recycled material - now available via the brand new WPKN Shop in a first-run limited edition of 100.

Just as WPKN is a storied, Bridgeport-made institution, this collaboration came to life just miles down the road at AmFab studios, where we happened upon Karl Heine’s design work. Karl is a Bridgeport-based designer, educator, talent consultant, and supporter of WPKN.

130 pages (65 leaf) of acid-free paper await your plans, ideas, and sketches. The silver WPKN record logo sits on marbled recycled Italian leather, with a back purple inlay in a nod to the ‘Purple Knight Network.’

Dream in style and in support of your beloved community radio station, WPKN.
