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.
In strange times we do what we can to feel normal and keep moving forward. The Ladies of the lounge and Sunshine got together in the Zen Tiki Lounge for what may be our last fully hosted podcast for some time. Sunshine asked who was available for the show and was surprised that everyone and their husbands wanted to come over for drinks before we are all asked to stay home.
Read MoreIt is mid July and time for a slushy cocktail that Pumpkin tends to demand this time of year. Bayou Swamp Slush is our newest drink created just for our original hostess. While sipping our new frosty we dive into a host of subjects and listen to new music from The Modernes. Plus listener mail and an editorial from Sunshine on what NOT to do when invited to a party.
Read MoreIts Oscar night and Sunshine wants nothing to do with it. Who needs to see a bunch of entitled people get dressed up and ramble on about all the "amazing" things they have done? Not us! Thats a perfect time for a quick podcast with lite commentary and lots of exotica. This show will best be enjoyed with a nice rum drink and a set of headphones. Sip a Rumhattan in your dimly lit corner and enjoy 45 minutes of vintage exotica recorded from vinyl.
Read MoreHappy New Year Tiki Friends!!! Both Sunshine and Pumpkin are excited to be starting another year of podcasting here in the Zen Tiki Lounge. We certainly don't waste anytime, the cocktails are flowing, conversation running and shenanigans continues. Our cocktail is straight from Sunshines fridge, specifically the leftover ingredients from all the holiday parties. A little passion fruit juice, some pineapple, Appleton rum, Ten Cane rum...throw in some bitters and a dash of lemon. Impressive for leftovers. I call it "California Passion Cocktail." Part of the inspiration comes from our weather. While many of our listeners are burried in snow, we are enjoying some fairly decent temps here in Sunny So Cal. Pumpkin delves into the naughty subjects as always, vegan condoms in a cookbook? Yep. Penis enlargement? You bet. Lets not forget the roll play we do to show you just how bad the customer service is at Washington Mutual. WAMU has closed Sunshines account, can't figure out how or why and doesn't really seem to care about helping to reopen it. Thats wonderful. Enough reason to drink.
The Zen Tiki Lounge podcast is hosted by a group of friends from our home tiki bar. The show focuses on Exotica Music, Cocktail Culture, Mid Century Modern, Kitsch and the "Island Lifestyle." Join us for a slightly inebriated trip into our dimly lit paradise.
