Retro Cocktail Hour
Saturdays at 9 p.m.

Music that’s shaken, not stirred. This nationally broadcast show features swingin’ bachelor pad music from the 50s and 60s, hosted by Darrell Brogdon.

Retro Cocktail Hour is a weekly hi-fi highball of vintage "bachelor pad" music, exotica, private eye jazz and eccentric, overstimulated pop music of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The show's spiced with everything from obscure Italian B-movie soundtracks and bossa nova to contemporary bands like Don Tiki, the Tokyo Panorama Mambo Boys, Waitiki, the Tikiyaki Orchestra, the Italian Secret Service, Balanco and others.

Listen to this week's show!
