Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: September 28, 2011

On this week’s show we celebrated the second anniversary of Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge on Radio Fairfax with a show dedicated to the Doctor’s canonical wife, the beauteous and talented Elinor, who is responsible for clueing me in to the possibility of broadcasting on this station in 2009 when she saw an ad in a local newspaper for radio DJ and training opportunities at Fairfax Public Access in northern Virginia.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm EDT at: http://www.radiofairfax.org The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived. Some fans record it on their computers to listen to later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
