#088 FROM A P.O. BOX

, , ,

Desert Oracle, PO Box 1735, Joshua Tree CA 92252

A tarnished brass key, a small locked box, a sequence of magical numbers, a charmless old block building in the desert. It is here that we visit in the night, keeping our distance, looking for sustenance. It is here we receive your offerings of words and other treasure. All we mean is this: Tonight’s show is all about the letters from you, letters from our listening community, letters and their replies.

Weird new soundscapes tonight from our own RedBlueBlackSilver.

Plus: desert intuition and recently seen Wonders in the Sky.

#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.

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.

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.

#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.
