THIS AIN'T BIKINI BOTTOM! Join Syf Sloane for a very special episode of What's Your Niche? While Ben is away soaking up rays on holiday, let's soak up some sun of our own - tropical style. Syf has a deep love for the exotica music of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Today, she becomes your guide to the world of exotica, the heavy-hitters, the trailblazers, it's origins, it's influences, and, of course, it's failings. Immerse yourself in a world of smoky lounges, white sand beaches, Broadway stages, and navy ships docking at distant ports of call. Kick back, relax, learn a little, and start your day with a taste of yesteryear's imagined nostalgia!
