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.
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start... you know the drill, cocktails first, then get the music going and let's see what this podcast has for you. Great music, drinks and the usual shenanigans from everyones favorite dimly lit tiki bar that lives in your head.
Read MoreJust after recording this episode Sunshine came down with a rather annoying and life changing cold. The full blog entry will be added after he gets to it. At this point, not even making his own food. Just NyQuil, lots of liquids and rest. You will be happy to see that Pumpkin joined us on this episode. After just two cocktails her conversation gets nice and saucy.
Read MoreStep into the Zen Tiki Lounge for some Exotic vegan delights on this episode of the podcast. Sunshine, Kalani and Starshine relax to the sounds of the new album by James Spencer, Exotica the piano cocktail hour and sample tasty vegan bites from James' cookbook Vegandisiac. Its too bad our resident vegan Pumpkin could not join us this time. She would surely LOVE cocktails and appetizers all made without animal products and all very very delicious. Also on this episode we discuss the return of ZIMA, a tiki bar editorial and some don't miss late Summer events that a conscious imbiber should not skip.

Read MoreSunshine and Starshine are behind the microphone on this episode. We settle into the lounge, dim the lights and begin sipping a blended drink that was inspired by a meme. Sure, inspiration can come from anywhere. Juan Bahama may or may not run for office in 2020 but you enjoy this frosty libation regardless of the political climate.
Read MoreWhile sipping a stiff libation and enjoying a tropical fruit salad, Sunshine and Kalani discuss the various trials and tribulations of podcasting from the tiki bar that lives in your head.
