Dick Bartley, a popular American radio disc jockey since 21 June 1969, hosts several popular syndicated radio shows of the oldies/classic hits genre, including the current Classic Countdown since 1991 and the Saturday night call-in request show Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits since 1982. The later show now plays "oldies" songs that had not yet been recorded when the show debuted in 1982. Both shows are currently syndicated through United Stations Radio Networks; they were previously carried by ABC Radio Networks from 1991 to 2009, and by Westwood One in the 1980s. Bartley has licensed his name for the "Dick Bartley Presents Collector's Essentials on the Radio" album series; compilations of radio favorites by specific era and genre. Bartley got his start at age 17 playing "Bad Moon Rising" on WWOD. Bartley's programs use historic data from the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can’t talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.”
