Barret Eugene Hansen (born April 2, 1941), known professionally as Dr. Demento, is an American radio broadcaster and record collector specializing in novelty songs, comedy, and strange or unusual recordings dating from the early days of phonograph records to the present. Hansen created the Demento persona in 1970 while working at Pasadena, California, station KPPC-FM. He played "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus on the radio, and DJ "The Obscene" Steven Clean said that Hansen had to be "demented" to play it, and the name stuck. His weekly show went into syndication in 1974 and was syndicated by the Westwood One Radio Network from 1978 to 1992. Broadcast syndication of the show ended on June 6, 2010, but the show continues to be produced weekly in an online version.

  • Barry Eugen Hansen, noto anche con lo pseudonimo di Dr. Demento (Minneapolis, 2 aprile 1941), è un disc jockey e musicologo statunitense. È famoso per aver condotto una trasmissione radiofonica a suo nome dal 1974 al 2010 e per le sue compilation di canzoni di musica demenziale di altri artisti. The Dr. Demento Show è fruibile anche nel suo sito ufficiale. Molti archivi dal 1992 a oggi sono audibili e lo sono anche alcuni archivi degli anni '70, ma non quelli dal 1978 al 1992 perché la possiede ancora lo show. (it)
