#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.

#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:

#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! Click here to subscribe or pick up a copy at your favorite cool place in Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley, 29 Palms and Wonder Valley. Or in Moab, at Back of Beyond Books.

#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.)

#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??)

New sounds tonight by RedBlueBlackSilver. Click that link for information about our April 27 night of UFO movies and performances (plus your host doing various duties) at the Joshua Tree Astronomy Arts Theater.

Subscribe at iTunes or Stitcher or wherever you choose to get your podcasts. Or better yet: Listen live at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Pioneertown, Landers, Morongo Valley, Flamingo Heights, Wonder Valley—”from Amboy to Zzyzx,” and across the Great Mojave Wilderness.
