    Wow!
    What a smooth podcast! I can not believe I have played all episodes in one shoot already. I will play a couple more times for sure. I think this could be ideally called season one of Cocktail Nation. Well done!

    Cocktail Nation is Ultra Swank!
    Cocktail Nation is is the the most chic, sophisticated podcast of the choicest retro music on the internet. Koop Kooper plays a varied mix of: jazz vocals, cocktail piano, tiki bar exotica, breezy bossa nova, and movie soundtracks. I feel honored that Koop has played my albums: Noir, Blue Mood, and Sharing Shearing regularly on his podcasts as well has done personal reviews/interviews for me for COCKTAIL PIANO HOUR series of albums, and my books including THE LOUNGE MUSIC COMPANION and my bios on Les Baxter and Jackie Gleason. It is an honor to join Cocktail Nation as a guest programmer for the Evenings At the Penthouse Show. I have created a detailed podcast link to many of the Evenings At the Penthouse show on my website: JAMESRSPENCER (dot) COM. COCKTAIL NATION is a great way to learn about retro music history and the podcast app is a fast way to hear the latest shows. Enjoy .. hipsters.

    I always come back to this podcast...
    I really enjoy the selection of music on these podcasts . Koop‘s voice is dreamy and relaxing... Its a great podcast to just get out of head for a lil while and daydream about swanky lounges and dapper, well dressed men and women, sipping colorful cocktails and dancing and chatting the night away.

    Love the music!
    After searching for so long for a station that played retro lounge music and for awhile listening to stations that weren’t very satisfactory, but listened to them anyway! I found Koop Cooper, ya! Love listening and I like saying “Koop cooper” in a honey sounding voice.. lol.. love Koop! The music is what I want and listen!!

    So Chic!
    I've been looking for something like this for long time. Very classy music, very light, delicate. Very nice selection of music. 🍸Cheers!

    Fun in the car!
    This is my go to podcast for driving in the car! I dread commuting to work, however listening to the Cocktail Nation makes it all that much cooler. Koop Kooper is the ULTIMATE host and has a wealth of knowledge about lounge life, music, cars, books & film. Regular segments including exclusive interviews, Spy Vibe and Kramer on films makes this show all the better! But it's the most important aspect of this show that makes it shine, THE MUSIC! I have discovered so many new bands on the current lounge scene including Codenme Carter, Nutty and The Martini Kings, I had no idea there was so much new music out there! This show is a MUST for fans of lounge, exotica and tiki music!

    Great show for the evening
    My wife and I listen to Koop's show every week. It's a great way to relax after a busy day at work. It provides great music by which to enjoy our dinner and a martini afterwards.

    Cool music and host
    Ive been subsribed for 10 years and really enjoy the show. Koop, the host, always has a light dialog along with a great blend of music. A weekly show to lower the lights and step into a retro lounge swank retreat.

    Cocktail Nation Radio Show
    If you love the retro scene, this show is for you. Koop keeps current on all things in the midcentury past. And he has a unique quirky selection of vintage and vintage styled midcentury music. Even though he is in Sydney, Australia he has directed me to lots of cool vintage sites and happenngs here in the US.

    Terrific Show!
    Great show of lounge and spy-fi music with eclectic dips into exotica, surf, and other genres.

    Intoxicating and Swank
    Koop Kooper and the Cocktail Nation is a great listen each and every time. Koop plays a great mix of exotica, jazz and swank tunes that always put me in right spirits. Interviews with folks around the world are always engaging and often turn me on to artists I have not yet discovered or downloaded. If you love the mid century modern lifestyle, you will love cocktail nation.

    Cocktail Nation is a must listen on a weekly basis. Grab a cocktail, sit back and listen. Great music and great commentary from Koop Kooper.

    Kooper Rocks!
    The perfect blend of Tiki, Exotica, Spy-Fi, and Martini Music.
  • AnotherBluesMan
    Cool..
    A Miles Davis, “Birth of the Cool” kind of absolute sublime. Jazz, Surf, Tiki…from the classic to the contemporary, this podcast is the perfect combination of music, history and information. Koop lays down hip, jazzy tracks while serving up tasty interviews. More than just music this is an expression of a lifestyle, a guidebook for the Renaissance Man and comfortable place to unwind.

    Great Music - Great Production
    I've been listening for more than a year and I look forward to each new show. Koop Kooper does a great job of assembling what I like to call 'martini music'. It is cool, hip, and swinging. This is the kind of program that makes podcasting great!
