The award-winning radio documentarian, musicologist, and long-running WWOZ DJ showcases his deep knowledge of music every Tuesday at 10pm with his Freaknology Lunatique radio show. By day David is the music curator for the Louisiana State Museum and curator of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, producing exhibitions and live programming and caretaking their 71,000-piece collection. His reign as emcee for the alternative Chaz Fest demonstrates his love for weirdos and misfits. He should feel right at home tonight with the Troubled Men.

Topics include escaped convicts, accomplices, a brownout, Len Davis, an aggressive pat-down, a Hawaiian vacation, the beach, senior moments, the penny, an intern, Boston, an elite high school, chowder, Southies, college radio, avant-garde jazz, Katharine Hepburn, an overnight show, James Booker, the new WWOZ studios, Darryl Berger, Griper, Michael Ward, a ghost story, AFO Records, Everette Maddox, the Maple Leaf, the Truck Farm, the Geraniums, Tom Thayer, and much more.
