Cocktail Nation

This week we're heading into the world of secret agents, mysterious assignments and international intrigue with another edition of Spyvibe, featuring Jason Whiton. From the sophisticated sounds of John Barry to the swinging espionage themes of the 1960s and some wonderfully exotic Japanese spy music, we've got all the ingredients for a top-secret musical mission. Just remember, loose lips sink ships!

The Chairman’s Chocolate Secret

This week on Cocktail Nation, we're opening the confidential files on Frank Sinatra with the debut of a brand-new segment, Sinatra Confidential. Discover the extraordinary story of the Chairman of the Board, Italian chocolates, and the one thing he simply refused to do, no matter how much money was involved.

We'll also uncover the remarkable Cold War secret hidden inside a wooden carving of the Great Seal of the United States, share a little Deep Thought, offer some Swank Advice, and explore the latest from Lounge Life Magazine.

Plus, there's news from the Martini Kings, a look at the world of swank entertainment, and plenty of beautiful music to keep you company.

So pour yourself something suitably sophisticated, settle into your favourite chair, and join me for another evening of cool music, curious stories and the finer things in life.

This is Cocktail Nation with Koop Kooper.
