Cocktail Nation

This week on Cocktail Nation, we're heading out into the blue — where the waves are perfect, the cocktails are cold, and apparently some people are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths just to find the right one.

Words With Wellsy takes us into a world of surf, obsession and the search for a few perfect waves — and we've got some rather appropriate sounds to accompany the journey.

Elsewhere, we'll take a little trip into the darker side of old Hollywood, wander through some mid-century territory, and perhaps contemplate the benefits of a life where responsibilities are kept at a safe distance.

So settle back, pour yourself something cool, and let the rest of the world carry on without you for a while.

This is Cocktail Nation.
