The Retro Cocktail Hour

A weekly treat from my former home state of Kansas is the (inaccurately-named) Retro Cocktail Hour http://www.kpr.ku.edu/retro/. This weekly two-hour radio show of "Space-age pop, bachelor pad music, exotica, lounge music, and cocktail jazz" is loads of fun. Dig that cocktail shaker out of the closet and make this the backdrop to your next tiki-themed party. The shows are usually available for streaming for about 6 weeks after their Saturday night broadcasts.
