Just found out I was honored last week with some spin on The Dr. Demento Show. [Here’s the playlist from the December 22nd show](http://dmdb.org/cgi-bin/plinfo.pl?drd12.1222.html), you can print it out and mail it to me with $2 and I will autograph it and mail it back to you. 😛

I’m ceremoniously sandwiched between Jonathan Coulton and Dan Hart.  
I do love hearing the good Doctor say my name. As a child I used to listen Sunday nights- the show started late on the radio station that carried it in my market so I would take the radio to bed with me, get under the covers with the radio playing just like in the Ramones song.

Thanks, Dr. D.!

Congrats! I love Dr. D. I’m still giddy over the time he said my name on the air and played my request back in the eighties.

Unfortunately, I’m a cheap bastard and haven’t listened to him since he went pay-per-listen.

What exactly does that mean?

I used to listen to his show back in the day and always got a kick out of it. I didn’t realize he still had a show.

You and my heirs.  
**Vector 1** , Dr. D’s show is online-only these days. On his website you can stream his shows at $2 per show. Not so bad, now and then I need a Dr. D fix and I’m happy to lay down $2 for a commercial-free bit of entertainment. The playlist is always available to view before paying for an episode, so you can look for any of your personal faves before choosing an episode.
