Hate to say it, but I didn’t even
realize Dr. Demento was still
doing his show online. Had you
been following him all of these
years or just remember him from
listening as a kid?
For me, it’s a little of both actu-
ally. I remember him vividly from
listening as a kid, before the in-
ternet—and reconnected with the
show years later online. When I
listened as a kid, the show was
syndicated and would frequently
change stations without warning.
You never knew where and when
it would turn up next, so it was
easy to lose touch with it; but the
one thing I could always count on
were the Dr. Demento albums. I
loved them, and still do—which is
why I thought it would be fun to
put a new spin on the concept,
and introduce the world of Dr.
Demento to a whole new genera-
tion. It’s re-introduced Dr. D. to
many who’d lost touch over the
years too, which is fantastic.
More and more people have start-
ed becoming aware there’s a brand
new episode of the Dr. Demento
