CN 861 Words With Wellsy- All For a Few Perfect Waves

This week on Cocktail Nation, we're heading out into the blue — where the waves are perfect, the cocktails are cold, and apparently some people are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths just to find the right one.

Words With Wellsy takes us into a world of surf, obsession and the search for a few perfect waves — and we've got some rather appropriate sounds to accompany the journey.

Elsewhere, we'll take a little trip into the darker side of old Hollywood, wander through some mid-century territory, and perhaps contemplate the benefits of a life where responsibilities are kept at a safe distance.

So settle back, pour yourself something cool, and let the rest of the world carry on without you for a while.

This is Cocktail Nation.

Cn859 Era Magazine

This week we open the pages of Era Magazine, explore the latest discoveries from the world of lounge, and travel through the sounds and style of a more glamorous age.
In Lounge Life Magazine, we visit homes that captured the dream of tomorrow, while the Stuff Segment takes us into the Pacific during World War II for the incredible survival story of a young naval officer who would later become one of the world’s most famous figures.
Plus, a mysterious piece of Canberra furniture may contain secrets from the Cold War, we’ll discover what’s happening in the world of swank, and reflect on a thought that might just change how you see the objects around you.
So pour yourself something sophisticated, sit back, and join me… Koop Kooper… for Cocktail Nation

Cn858 Spyvibe-Branded to Kill

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re stepping into the shadows with a little international intrigue as SpyVibe takes us deep into the strange and stylish world of Branded to Kill — the legendary Japanese spy noir where assassins, mystery and surreal 1960s cool collide.

We’ll explore a lost cinematic gem, discover why tiki culture continues to make a triumphant comeback, and take a trip back to the days when advertising campaigns looked more like declarations of war — including Melbourne’s bizarre battle against a very dangerous enemy.

Plus, we’ll open the mailbag with a tiki dilemma, check out what’s happening in the world of swank, discover new sounds from Draculina

So pour yourself something sophisticated, dim the lights, and settle into another edition of Cocktail Nation.

Cn856- Gidget on the RetroZone

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading for the beach, the Retro Zone and a world of surf, sand and sophistication.
Wellsy takes us back to the story of Gidget, while we explore lost islands and tropical sounds with a soundtrack made for cocktails under the palm trees.
In Lounge Life Magazine, we’ll discover what grocery shopping looked like in the 1960s, and the surprising story behind a famous Marilyn Monroe photoshoot.
Plus, the Space Race gets a little awkward as we look at the Soviet mission that tried to beat Apollo 11 to the Moon

Cn855 -50’s Mystery-The Somerton Man

Welcome to Cocktail Nation… I’m Koop Kooper, and tonight we’re drifting between mystery and mid-century glamour.
We kick off with one of Australia’s most haunting unsolved cases—the Somerton Man—still puzzling investigators decades later, still refusing to give up his secrets.
Along the way, we’ll drop into vintage lounge life with a mix of sacred chants, tiki rhythms, and deep island vibes that feel like they’ve been pulled from a forgotten record crate in some seaside bar that no longer exists.

Cocktail Nation 854 Playlist – Joshua Cipolla

This week on Cocktail Nation, we're pulling up a chair at one of Hollywood's most legendary hideaways, where Sinatra's Rat Pack held court and whispers of JFK and Marilyn Monroe still linger in the air. We'll meet Joshua Cipolla and explore his latest music, uncover the delightfully awkward tale of a lovestruck—or perhaps not-so-lovestruck—elephant at a Sydney Zoo, and hear a heartfelt letter from Maine about the surprising power of lounge music. Add plenty of exotic sounds, swank tunes and a deep thought that might make you rethink the snooze button.
