A South Pacific Medley of Hawaiian & Exotica Tunes from Exotic Tiki Island

Originally published February 1, 2019

Summary:

Episode 55.5 of the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast marks Tiki Brian’s return after a year‑long break, offering listeners a bonus installment while the long‑awaited conclusion to the dramatic Episode 55 is still in production. Brian recaps the previous cliffhanger - surviving a plane crash, encountering headhunters, and attempting to escape by outrigger canoe - before inviting listeners to relax with a tropical drink and enjoy a special musical journey.

The episode unfolds as an immersive South Pacific medley, blending vintage travelogues, classic Hawaiian soundscapes, atmospheric narration, and playful radio interludes. Listeners are transported across Hawaii, Tahiti, and the broader Pacific through descriptions of waves, steel guitars, volcanic landscapes, and island traditions. Cameos like Nigel Greenwater’s broadcast about Trader Sam’s add to the retro charm. Brian closes by inviting fans to tune in to ETI Radio’s monthly broadcast and promises that Episode 56 is on the way.
