On this week’s show we took a slight detour to celebrate Mardi Gras and New Orleans, where the doctor‘s family hails from. Next week I will be out of town but they will replay one of my earlier shows, and I will be back on the air live March 9 with a special St. Patrick’s Day show.

Be sure to listen to Dr. Zarkov's Tiki Lounge next Wednesday, 5-6 P.M. Eastern Time, on Radio Fairfax, which can be heard on the Internet at: http://www.radiofairfax.org This show is only broadcast live; there are no recorded shows archived that you can listen to. However, some fans do record the show’s live broadcasts on their computers to listen to in the future.
