  This week on Cocktail Nation, we're slipping behind the velvet curtain and into the glamorous world of 1960s espionage — where secret agents, Cold War intrigue and suspicious cats meet some of the coolest music ever recorded. Our main feature explores Spy Music — The Sound of Espionage, looking at how the Cold War and classic spy films created an instantly recognisable musical language of jazz, orchestration, lounge, exotica and danger. We also uncover the extraordinary CIA experiment Acoustic Kitty, meet a listener whose love of spy movies may have gone slightly too far, and explore more international intrigue in Lounge Life Magazine.

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.

Tonight we’re drifting between mystery and mid-century glamour. We kick off with one of Australia’s most haunting unsolved cases—the Somerton Man—still puzzling investigators decades later, still refusing to give up his secrets.
