Gidget On the Retro Zone

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading for the beach, the Retro Zone and a world of surf, sand and sophistication.

Wellsy takes us back to the story of Gidget, while we explore lost islands and tropical sounds with a soundtrack made for cocktails under the palm trees.

In Lounge Life Magazine, we’ll discover what grocery shopping looked like in the 1960s, and the surprising story behind a famous Marilyn Monroe photoshoot.

Plus, the Space Race gets a little awkward as we look at the Soviet mission that tried to beat Apollo 11 to the Moon 

 

So settle in, pour yourself something refreshing, and join me for Cocktail Nation
