Bill Frezza, a long time Boston-based partner for Pittsburgh-based Adams Capital Management ($815 million under management), is transitioning out of the VC world to become a radio host, Fortune Term Sheet's Dan Primack reports.

Frezza has agreed to host a new radio program produced by RealClearPolitics and libertarian-leaning think-tank Competitive Enterprise Institute, which will provide “NPR-style content presented from a free-market perspective.”

He plans to remain a partner with Adams until his firm exits his remaining portfolio companies, which include BioLeap and Optellios in the Philadelphia area.

I look forward to hearing his future contributions.
