Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge March 14, 2018

Appropriatatively for a Tiki lounge at this special time of year in slight advance of St. Patrick’s Day, the theme of this week’s imbibulous and intoxicatious Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge radio show is partying and alcoholical spirits along with a few things Irish.

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. 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
