Words With Wellsy- All For a Few Perfect Waves Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

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.

This week we open the pages of Era Magazine, explore the latest discoveries from the world of lounge, and travel through the sounds and style of a more glamorous age.

Plus, a mysterious piece of Canberra furniture may contain secrets from the Cold War, we’ll discover what’s happening in the world of swank, and reflect on a thought that might just change how you see the objects around you.

Show notes

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re stepping into the shadows with a little international intrigue as SpyVibe takes us deep into the strange and stylish world of Branded to Kill — the legendary Japanese spy noir where assassins, mystery and surreal 1960s cool collide.

We’ll explore a lost cinematic gem, discover why tiki culture continues to make a triumphant comeback, and take a trip back to the days when advertising campaigns looked more like declarations of war — including Melbourne’s bizarre battle against a very dangerous enemy.

Plus, we’ll open the mailbag with a tiki dilemma, check out what’s happening in the world of swank, discover new sounds from Draculina

So pour yourself something sophisticated, dim the lights, and settle into another edition of Cocktail Nation.
