It’s Episode #029, for your listening enjoyment. Sure is busy around here this week. Apparently there’s a music festival down in the Low Desert. And: We remember the late, great Art Bell, with some help on the Wild Card Line from Jason P. Woodbury … who also happens to be the author of an interesting article in the current DESERT ORACLE, about the Casa Grande Domes.
As for the call-in line, call in anytime! Doc Daniels might know more about this sort of thing. Speaking of: Doc’s got an informative new article in DESERT ORACLE #7, regarding various ways you can perish in the desert.
Some new and old desert soundscapes tonight from RedBlueBlackSilver tonight: Partition Arch, Courthouse Wash, and Amber.
It’s our first annual holiday show, with plenty of Christmas cheer (more or less) from our studios in downtown Joshua Tree. Were you good this year? Well then maybe Santa will bring you Pentagon proof of UFOs and maybe Santa is an alien too, why not? Why not gather ’round the festive Joshua tree with all the colorful insects and whatever else is hidden in the dead needle-tipped branches and join us, this one last time before the new year? Why not??
We’ve got our friend and Pioneertown neighbor Jeremy Corbell of ExtraordinaryBeliefs.com aboard the Desert Oracle Combat Training Center and he has just come back from Skinwalker Ranch, again, and yes that is the very “Utah ranch” discussed in the shocking (?) New York Times reports of a UFO program within the Department of Defense, a program that also involved Nevada billionaire Robert Bigelow and a secret warehouse full of mystery. And our high-desert soundscape wizard RedBlueBlackSilver cooked up a special soundtrack called “Amber” for this haunted conversation. (more…)
We are back with the ninth episode of DESERT ORACLE RADIO, just as the first signs of Fall arrive in the Mojave High Desert. Tonight we sing the praises of the Cassini mission to Saturn, spend some time with the ghost of JPL founder Jack Parsons out in the Mojave where he completed his “Babalon Working” ritual, and visit with our friend Jason P. Woodbury—who has an interesting tale about the mysterious Casa Grande Domes in Arizona. (He also has a fine article on the subject in the upcoming issue of DESERT ORACLE, the pocket-sized field guide to the strange American desert.
Jason P. Woodbury talking about the mystery of the Casa Grande Domes.
