Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: August 31, 2016

On today’s show we took a decidedly determined detour from Tiki music to mark the Burning Man festival, taking place this week in Nevada. Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge wafted over the airways for the first time in 2002 on Radio Free Burning Man and remotely recorded programs of this show continue to be broadcast there even after having found a permanent home on Radio Fairfax in 2009.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast every Wednesday, 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
