A dimly lit tiki bar that lives in your head. Each and every podcast we bring you a new exotic cocktail followed by plenty of tiki talk, exotica tunes and whatever else your loyal hosts Sunshine, Pumpkin and Starshine care to dispense. Politics, religion and current events are all free game. This podcast is not for the kiddies, so remember to get a sitter before tuning in. Mahalo.
There isn't much time left before Tiki Caliente 6. Our entire episode is dedicated to an event that brings together cocktail culture, exotica, live entertainment, tiki, mid century modern and the lovely warmth of Palm Springs, CA. Even if you catch this episode after the event has passed, you will be enticed to book your room and get a wristband for next year. We hope to see you at Tiki Caliente!
