Twisted Sister’s Mark Mendoza, Bass player for Twisted Sister along with Rob Rush from 94.3 The Shark and with Comedian Billy Mira have launched “Radioactive”. A new podcast which features local and national talent on Connoisseur Media. Based in Neighboring Suffolk County Long Island, The Shark has filled an empty void for listeners in a market where classic rock and top 40 CHR has dominated for years. There hasn’t been an outlet for select hard rock artists, outside of specialty shows. Nassau and Suffolk counties have been known for their vibrant music scene dating back to the 1970’s all through the 80’s. 

With legendary venues like OBI, Speaks, Rum Runners and Sundance. It was a hotbed for new and up-coming talent such as Twisted Sister. Pre dating Twisted Sister Long Island has seen many well-known artists lift from the scene. Pat Benatar, Foghat and Billy Joel to name a few. All have all left their hallmark as beginning their careers on the Island.

 
The Radioactive Podcast is an additional outlet to expose new artists and talent that otherwise fans would never have access to. Social Media dominates the new music scene but without any direction it falls on blind eyes and deaf ears to a loyal fanbase that otherwise would have never discovered the band. The hang scene which dominated in the past has been replaced by disposable amusement in which fans can sit at home and self-entertain. Radioactive gives the fans a chance to download episodes of the podcast and get turned on to new developing talent. “It’s an outlet that fans will discover something they would have never heard” says Radioactive’s Mark Mendoza. A large impact is what Radioactive will become for fans on the Island.
