50’s Mystery-The Somerton Man

Cocktail Nation ·

2026/07/10

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.

Joshua Cipolla

Cocktail Nation ·

2026/07/03

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.
