#057: NOT THE DAY NOR THE HOUR


Our favorite magazine writer (and now book author) Rachel Monroe joins us to talk about some weird stuff she’s got going on, back in the sheds, in Marfa. ALSO: What is the situation with the Pentagon and the New York Times and the UFOs? Are we trusting spies and brass now? What a bunch of suckers we are. But there’s something going on, and it’s not just the dicey Pentagon stuff. New sounds from RedBueBlackSilver, everything you want in a single episode of Desert Oracle Radio, right here in the very episode we’re talking about.

Here the broadcast on KCDZ FM 107.7 FM in the High Desert, “From Amboy To Zzyzx,” it’s the Voice of the Desert on your Friday night radio. Get the podcast by throwing your phone about twenty feet while yelling “Subscribe to Desert Oracle Radio.” PS—Our new issue is out and it’s a good one!

#056: SNAKESGIVING DAY WEEKEND


Snakesgiving is the holiday so nice, we celebrate it twice. Once when they come out, once when they go back in the ground.

“The snake giveth, the snake taketh away.”—Elozah 6:16.

Some grooving new spooky soundscapes from You Know Who: RedBlueBlackSilver. And Brendan Maze returns to talk about his backup plan, now that it looks like the evil Cadiz Desert-Killing Scheme is “dead in the water.” Want to read our pocket-sized field guide you hear so much about these days, from those certain people? Well just click here and subscribe, or buy whatever back issues we have left. Want to subscribe to our podcast of our KCDZ FM broadcast?

#055: THE GOOFBALL FACTOR

Every weird story that you almost want to believe is required, by cosmic law, to have a Goofball Factor. What is the Goofball Factor? And how does it end up on the front page of the New York Times?

New episode tonight, 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, with (mostly) new sounds from RedBlueBlackSilver, plus this weird goblin recording we got off the radio driving through the Owens Valley a few years ago.

Don’t forget the UFO SOCIAL CLUB at the airport bar (on the airstrip in Yucca Valley), Thursday 5/16 at 7 or so. Maybe 8. It’s not a performance. You will have to entertain yourself. Which is the best way to get it done. And yes we are busily mailing out subscriber copies of ISSUE #8. Order a subscription if you don’t already have one. Or pick up a copy at your favorite Hi-Dez shop. It’s our “revenue stream.” (Sometimes.)

Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get ’em: iTunes or Stitcher or Spotify or etc. And did you know we are on Instagram for some reason? (The reason is crass self-promotion.)

#054: EARTH DAY’S HIPPIE KILLER + THE APOSTLE OF THE CACTI
