Show Notes
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.

More from Cocktail Nation
This week on the Cocktail Nation, Words With Wellsy gets things underway with a famous book called Of Human Bondage, we take a look at Elon Musk, flying cars, and the fine art of selling us a future that never quite seems to arrive. We’ll wind back to 1949 for a flying car that actually got off the ground, discover what’s happening in the world of swank, and ponder why the one thing that wakes us up every morning is also the thing we’d most like to throw out the window. All that, wrapped in a little tiki, a little jazz, and plenty of mid-century cool.
Beware Jilted Lover, all kinds of crazy can occur!
Tonight on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading into the mysterious skies above Westall High School, where a famous Australian UFO encounter still leaves plenty of questions lingering in the atmosphere. We’ll also step back to a Miami drugstore in 1951, where a pharmacist’s hypnosis sessions had customers doing crazy things There’s a little World of Swank to put in your diary, and a Deep thought…..All that, wrapped in a little exotica, a touch of the mysterious, and some seriously cool sounds. So pour yourself something sophisticated, settle in, and join me, Koop Kooper, for another edition of Cocktail Nation.
