#060: PRAYING TO THE ALIENS

, , , , ,

On a lovely spring evening in 2019 we had a little UFO festival here in the High Desert, with a screening of Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, a Q&A with director Jeremy Corbell, plus your Desert Oracle Radio host preaching to the choir, as it were. RedBlueBlackSilver hosted the event and performed live. It was spooky and beautiful. Tonight’s show will serve as a fine introduction if you want to watch the Lazar movie on Netflix.

Natalie Bahl (@natalie.terese.bahl) was there and snapped some pictures. The one up top has something the others lack: two unidentified flying objects. Your host did attempt to invoke some UFOs, so maybe it worked?

No UFOs here, but that’s RedBlueBlackSilver on the left.

Beautiful sky, no UFOs.

Listen on the radio tonight in Joshua Tree, KCDZ 107.7 FM. Or subscribe to the podcast. Or listen right here on this website, if you don’t mind:

#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

, , , ,

Let’s tell some Campfire Stories, shall we? How about an Earth Day murder story? Listen on the radio, 10PM in the High Desert Z107.7FM. Are the Orcs on the way?

Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get ’em: iTunes or Stitcher or Spotify or etc. And did you know we are, despite our better judgment, take part in the Instagram situation? We do.

#053: REDACTED (BY THE ALIENS)

, , , ,


10 p.m. tonight, Z 107.7 FM, it’s a new episode all about the conspiracies. We speak with Anna Merlan about her new book, REPUBLIC OF LIES. There was apparently a “UFO social club” in the High Desert, too, and we have the proof. Unless it has been redacted. (And why was Jeremy Corbell phoning in??)

UFOs
10 p.m. on your High-Desert radio, Z 107.7 FM, it’s a new episode of Desert Oracle Radio and we are going to deal with this alleged “UFO Religion.” What light? Get the podcast wherever you like but it’s on the radio first tonight, best heard on whatever cheap old radio you’ve got. Like the one in your car, or that shed you never go inside, because of what happened.

Three eerie new tracks by RedBlueBlackSilver tonight. Many modern problems are addressed.

#050 SUPERBLOOM!

The wildflower superbloom is upon us, as is the superbloom mob. St. Minerva help us all!

#048: HOLY RANGERS

, , , , ,

Who will protect the wilderness and public lands, our national parks and monuments, our nature preserves and conservation areas, our wild rivers and mountains and forests? As the nation slips into chaos and decline, we are going to have to take over the stewardship of lands and preserves that will have to survive not just this government but all future governments, of whatever sort.

Listen with your favorite podcast service, maybe Spotify? Maybe iTunes? Listen live on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree and across the Mojave High Desert—from Amboy to Zzyzx. In fact you are going to hear a very raw & early edit of this program on the radio, because we weren’t quite done by the time it was due at the station this afternoon. Pounding on the table with fists and the whole thing, what’s wrong with us.

New good stuff from RedBlueBlackSilver, go take a listen to all his great instrumental and ambient music.

#046: TRAVEL OPTIONS FOR THE COLLAPSE

, , , , , , ,


What happens when a civilization collapses? You can’t go camping in Joshua Tree, that’s what. The national parks are overrun with cretins of both varieties: the willful & the dumb. Well, maybe there’s somewhere else to go, somewhere without ticket booths and reserved campgrounds. Yes we are going to Mojave Trails National Monument and that means Route 66 and the alphabet-railroad towns.

Listen on the radio, tonight at 10 p.m. on Z 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree. Subscribe to our at iTunes or wherever/whatever you use for subscribing & listening to podcasts. New soundscapes tonight from our own RedBlueBlackSilver, hand-crafted here in Joshua Tree in a facility that processes nuts.

If you like DESERT ORACLE RADIO, tell your friends, or leave us a nice review on iTunes, etc. (And thanks much to all of you who leave such nice reviews, which are uniformly both literate and poetic.)

#045: SHUTDOWNS & DATE SHAKES

, , , , , , , , , ,


What a nice holiday present for the High Desert, having the federal government collapse and leaving the Mojave’s national parks unstaffed and abandoned at the busiest time of year. Katherine Spiers, Los Angeles food writer/editor/podcast host, joins us to talk about date shakes. Get our podcast wherever you get the podcasts.

Thanks for listening to the program this year. If you like DESERT ORACLE RADIO, tell your friends, or leave us a nice review on iTunes, etc.
