St. Patrick

EPISODE #218: SPOOKY TALES FOR THE ST. PATRICK’S STORM

, ,

The pyramids of Guinness 12-packs at our High Desert grocery stores reminded us of St. Patrick’s Day coming up, but the grey cloudy skies and green hillsides of the Mojave Desert this month are reminders that the old pagan tales are with us still, wherever the landscape is haunted and strange. And that supernatural entities always gather in their ancient homes: wild forests, dramatic outcroppings of rock, and any lonesome place whipped by the winter winds.

This is EPISODE #218: SPOOKY TALES FOR THE ST. PATRICK’S STORM. Listen to the radio broadcast Friday nights at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree & all over the Mojave High Desert, or enjoy the podcast now.

EPISODE #155: DRUID TALES TO WARD OFF ST. PATRICK

, , ,

In tribute to the Druids who were canceled by Saint Patrick, tonight we tell some stories: Ghost stories, from those ancient Celtic lands that gave us the Sidhe, the Good People, the Gentry, the leprechauns and banshee, the goddess Brigid and the frightful pooka. Tales from the Dim Kingdom, of the Tuatha de Danaan. And how the Gold Rush of the Sierra Nevada was the birthplace of the “Luck of the Irish.”

Listen Fridays at 10PM on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree & across the Mojave High Desert, on Saturdays at 9PM on KZMU 90.1/106.7 FM Moab/Castle Valley, Sundays at 8PM on KAPY Valley 104.9 FM in King County, Washington, and on KFCF 88.1 FM in Fresno at 2:30PM Wednesdays. Written & hosted by Ken Layne, with new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Thanks to those of you who support this operation through our Patreon.
