About this episode
This week on the Cocktail Nation, we slip into something velvet-lined for a Les Baxter lounge special—featuring part of a fascinating chat with James Spencer, the man behind a deep dive book on the godfather of exotica himself.
We've got brand-new music from Jim Bacchi and the Tikiyaki Orchestra, Plus, our usual cocktail of curated cool: a bizarre tale from the Stuff Segment that’ll have you rethinking Cold War strategy, highlights from Lounge Life Magazine, a jazzy calendar of what’s on around the globe, and a Deep Thought that might just make your Roomba blush.
