The Cocktail Nation Radio show is a radio show and podcast broadcast across the world via various radio stations. Each week Kooper talks to the movers and shakers of the Lounge and Exotica scene.
This week we kick of a new segment looking at UFO sightings in the mid-century and the strange goings on in Levelland that caused cars to stop one evening.
We have a letter to the show from a listener who took my advice but now regrets it and an interesting new bio pic coming out which has upset the person it is all about ..plus the story of Deli meat on a space craft that went wrong.

From the land of shaken martinis, atomic dreams, and the coolest sounds ever pressed to vinyl… this is Cocktail Nation.
This week we’re diving into a world where the spies are smooth as Jason Whiton stops by with Spyvibe, the exotica is swirling, and somewhere out there… there may still be a missing nuclear bomb or two.
We’ve got lounge, spy themes, a little intrigue, and of course—your passport to a better kind of living.
So dim the lights, fix yourself something strong… and let’s get swank
