Words With Wellsy-Star Trek Memories
Saturday Jun 21, 2025
Saturday Jun 21, 2025
This week on The Cocktail Nation, I’m inviting you to sink into the velvet as we unravel another round of Words with Wellsy—this time, he’s got thoughts that drift from the final frontier to the space between your ears. A curious case of civil disobedience sweetens our Stuff Segment, and we ponder paradoxes in Deep Thought. The World of Swank Gig Guide lines up the soirées worth your time, and we close with a cinematic soundscape from Ixtahuele’s new release, House of the Gods.
