  Coming up tonight on The Cocktail Nation—we’ll slip into spy mode with the Spy Vibe Podcast and revisit one of animation’s coolest secret agents. .In Lounge Life Magazine, a shake-up in the Bond universe as the hunt for a fresh-faced 007 begins, plus we’ll explore one of Australia’s most infamous prisons. I’ve got a wild story of Cold War ‘shoe diplomacy’ at the United Nations, new music steeped in Exotica, and of course plenty of hi-fi lounge, jazz, and tiki sounds to set the mood.   www.cocktailnation.net   Daniel Pemberton – The Actual Heist Messer Chups – Munster Theme Ted Nichols/Hoyt Curtin Secret- Squirrel Theme Oscar Peterson – The Strut Shirley Scott – Dreamsville Robert Sharples – Public Eye John Barry Seven – 007 Theme Martini Kings – Agua de Ber Angelo Badalamenti – Freshly Squeezed Voodoo 5 – Desolation Center Joey Altruda – The Knockaround Pink Martini – Ohayoo Ohio The Blue Hawaiians – Flesh and Soul Tiki Delights – Port of Call-Tahiti Mr Moai and the Tikiheads – Cocktails for Breakfast Waitiki 7 – Left Arm of Buddha

Step into the sophisticated, retro-futuristic world of Cocktail Nation, hosted from a Sydney Penthouse by the one and only Lounge Leader, Koop Kooper. This isn't just a music show; it's a weekly audio escape into the cool, crisp sound of martini shakers and the smooth grooves of a bygone era. Each episode of this podcast is a carefully curated session where classic lounge meets its modern descendant, neo-lounge, creating a seamless soundtrack for the stylishly inclined. Kooper doesn't just spin records; he brings the scene to life with conversations from the most interesting characters found in the swankier corners of culture-musicians, artists, and connoisseurs of the good life. Tune in and you'll hear stories woven between tracks, a blend of charismatic interview and impeccable musical selection that feels like an invitation to an exclusive, yet wonderfully welcoming, party. The vibe is consistently laid-back, intelligent, and dedicated to the artistry of cool. For anyone who appreciates the finer notes in both music and conversation, Cocktail Nation delivers a distinct and transporting experience, one perfectly mixed episode at a time.
