#049: DOWN AT THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE

, , , ,


Due to the government-shutdown emergency, your host was compelled to entertain an audience at the Old Schoolhouse Museum in Twentynine Palms with a series of Strange & Unusual Facts about our desert lands. Listen on IHeartRadio or Spotify or iTunes. Subscribe if you like it. And if you really like it, leave a review.

Recorded at the museum (and with new ambient tracks by) RedBlueBlackSilver. Photograph by Art of Rune.

This was our final event on the Desert Oracle Performance Schedule. Thanks to everybody who came out to all of our events and live shows and Campfire Stories!

#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.

#045: SHUTDOWNS & DATE SHAKES

Katherine Spiers, Los Angeles food writer/editor/podcast host, joins us to talk about date shakes. Get our podcast wherever you get the podcasts.

DESERT ORACLE RADIOPhotos by Tanene Allison.

Mysteries of the Great Basin and the Mojave tonight, as we follow the discovery of hundreds of strange ground circles north of Benton on Highway 6 and the bizarre three-clawed tracks of an alleged monster in a nature preserve just outside of the town of Joshua Tree—the latter discovered by Tanene Allison of Joshua Tree. She joins us tonight to discuss these oddball three-clawed footprints that were twice the size of her 70-lb. dog’s paw prints.

And thanks to Patrick Donnelly in Pahrump, we got looped in on a terrific mystery involving bizarre satellite imagery and last-minute scientific field studies.
