Bosko - Episode 31
<p>This week on The Tiki Talk Show, Ryley and Ellie talked with Bosko Hrjnak, one of the first artists to revive tiki art from just appreciation to application. Bosko got his start in the mid-80s as the first artist to sculpt full size tikis after the art had faded from popularity and the public eye when tiki fell out of fashion. Ever since, Bosko has been using his creativity to carve and sculpt 3D tikis, ceramic tiki mugs, and wall decor for the Polynesian Pop enthusiast. He draws clear inspiration from William Westenhaver of Witco Designs and Rolly Crump, the Disney Imagineer, but Bosko’s designs are truly one of a kind. In the interview we talk about his work creating art, designing his home tiki bar, and the work he has done on several commercial bars. </p><p>You can find Bosko at tikibosko.com to purchase his art, mugs, and more; or commission a custom work of your own. You can find his on Instagram @tikibosko. And be sure to check out his documentary Bosko and the Rebirth of Tiki if you haven’t seen it yet!</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for joining us on this episode. We have a few more episodes planned for this summer series leading up to Tiki Oasis. Ryley will be giving a seminar at Tiki Oasis all about the history of the tiki revival. Tickets are still available at tikioasis.com/friday-seminars-26 for his Friday seminar from 1:30-2:30. Check out our Instagram to see our new shirts and send us a DM to order one of your own! $20/shirt and $7 for shipping.

Bamboo Ben - Episode Thirty
<p>Welcome back to another episode of The Tiki Talk Show. Ryley and Ellie sat down with the tiki revival’s most renowned bar builder, Bamboo Ben. </p><p><br></p><p>As the grandson of the Original Beachcomber, Eli Hedley, tiki was in Ben’s blood. Having always been artistic, Ben took his experience building custom furniture and started building tiki bars for backyard parties in the 90s. Living in Southern California, these front yard leftovers after last night’s ragers were quickly procured by interested passersby. Ben realized there was a market for the faux Polynesian and fell back in love with the tiki memories of his childhood. These party bars slowly turned into custom requests throughout Southern California and eventually beyond, thanks to Tiki Central. Slowly, Bamboo Ben became known as the tiki bar guy and was hired to refurbish or renovate run-down tiki bars of old. These efforts culminated in the first Tiki Oasis and the rescue and revival of the Caliente Tropics. Restoration wasn’t the only business Ben was in. As the tiki fever started ramping up, there was a market for opening new tiki bars, and a need for someone to design and decorate them. Ben has had a widely successful career of commercial and private home bars, and in 2017, he brought his son, Blake, into the family business, officially making it Bamboo Ben & Son. </p><p>You can find Bamboo Ben on Instagram @bamboo_ben_ or on Facebook at Bamboo Ben. If you’re interested in having this legend design your home or commercial bar space, reach out on social media or on his email at <a href="mailto:bambooben@aol.com">bambooben@aol.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for joining us on this episode.

Jeff "Beachbum" Berry - Episode Twenty-Nine
<p>Welcome back to The Tiki Talk Show! Following our brief hiatus, Ryley and Ellie sat down with a true member of the Mount Rushmore of the Tiki Revival, Jeff, Beachbum, Berry.</p><p><br></p><p>Jeff first discovered Polynesian Pop as a child in the fleeting glimpses he caught of Ah Fong’s restaurant bar in the San Fernando Valley. The intricate escapism always lingered in the back of Jeff’s mind, but it wasn’t until he reached drinking age that Tiki began to creep back into his life. Berry was searching Los Angeles for a decent drink at a time when he recalls even the Old Fashioned’s came blended. He found respite in the small, Hollywood staple, The Tiki Ti. These tropical cocktails served by one of Donn the Beachcomber’s original bartenders was a welcome change, but when he asked Mr. Buhen what he was putting in his drinks, Berry was met with a generic answer preserving closely guarded secrets. That moment hurtled Berry into the world of tropical cocktails and rum rhapsodies that were being lost to time. Decades of research, interviews, writing, and storytelling later, Beachbum Berry has saved these drinks from extinction and made them widely available to tiki lovers and craft cocktail aficionados the world over. The Bum has published seven books containing not only cocktail and food recipes but the history of their creation, the places that served them, and the people who created and served beverages that captured the public’s attention for decades. Now, Jeff and wife Annene own Latitude 29, their own cocktail bar in New Orleans, Louisiana, where locals and travelers alike and quench their thirst for a quality tiki cocktail and revel in the gorgeous theming and decor. </p><p>Go to <a href="https://beachbumberry.com">https://beachbumberry.com</a> to find Jeff’s books, the link to purchase his Total Tiki cocktail app, information on his restaurant, rums, syrups, and so much more. You can also find him on Instagram @official_beachbumberry and @latitude29nola.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for joining us for this episode. It’s so good to be back talking to revival heroes and sharing that information with all of you. We are looking forward to a few more episodes coming out this summer, Tiki Oasis in August, and our move overseas at the end of summer.
