Cocktail Nation

For 2026 Gary Wells returns and adding to his conversations he will bring us a new segment which allows him to talk about more things than books called Retro Zone and this week talking about Winter Movies. I have new music coming your way from James Spencer and new music from Voodoo 5 and their new album called Hypnocoin

Tonight, we honour a creative spirit who carved their mark deep into the culture.

We step inside a world built from imagination, devotion, and hand-crafted dreams.

There’s a musical guest who knows exactly how to bend time and mood.

A design revival that proves the past still ticks with purpose.

Stories that remind us we’ve panicked about progress before — and survived.

News from the lounge world that marks the end of an era, and the start of another.

A few dates for the diary, if your calendar likes a tropical accent.

A listener reminds us why this late-night ritual matters.

All wrapped in a soundtrack made for dim lights and slow sips.

Settle in — this is Cocktail Nation.
