Gidget On the Retro Zone
2d ago01:00:09Tap to summarizeThis 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 So settle in, pour yourself something refreshing, and join me for Cocktail Nation Voodoo Organist- Bombay Beach Bondage Boogaloo Martini Kings- Wave Clyde Derby-Lost Island Martin Denny- Forbidden Island 101 Strings Orchestra- Love on the Beach Crazed Mugs- Legend Of The Lake Surfer Mark Riddle- Lonely Beach The Exotics- The Evil Deep Kenny Sasaki-Snow On the Beach Waitiki-White Sandy Beach Joshua Cipolla-Tuxedos By the Beach The Swongos - Broken Glass Beach Janet Seidel- Miami Beach Rhumba Spy Fi- Beach Police Dom Mariani & The Majestic Kelp- Beach Combing The Hawaiians-Tea for Two Astrud Gilberto- Bossa Na Praia (Beach Samba) Tiki Lounge Crew-Italian Surf Mob

1w ago00:59:13Tap to summarizeTonight 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.

2w ago01:00:12Tap to summarizeThis 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.
