Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: August 26, 2015
On this week’s show we took a decidedly determined detour from our usual Tiki music to honor the annualized occasion of the Burning Man Festival, taking place this week in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. The Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge radio show was created and broadcast for the first time in August 2002 at this festival over Radio Free Burning Man. After reappearing at the festival the following year, the show migrated to Scotland to be heard at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it was heard on temporary Fringe radio station called Festival FM. Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge returned to Burning Man via prerecorded shows in 2012 and 2014, after having found a permanent home here on Radio Fairfax in 2009.
Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm Eastern Time (2-3 pm on the West Coast) 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
