Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: September 25, 2013

On this week’s show we celebrated the completion of the fourth year of this program, which first aired on Radio Fairfax the last week of September in 2009. As loyal listeners learned last month, Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge was created for the Radio Free Burning Man station at the 2002 Burning Man Festival. After reappearing at the festival the following year, it migrated to Scotland to be heard at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2005 before finding a permanent home here on Radio Fairfax four years ago.

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 choose to record it on their computers to listen to later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and can be streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
