Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist October 25, 2017

On this week’s Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge radio show we will dig deep into a shambolic celebration of Halloween, its many multifarious myths and monsters, carnivorous cannibals, creepish creatures and beast that go bump in the night.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge show is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm Eastern Standard Time (2-3 pm on the West Coast and 10-11 GMT in Europe) at http://www.radiofairfax.org. The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived, but some listeners choose to record it on their computers to listen later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
