EPISODE #027: IN THE NIGHT ON AMBOY ROAD

DESERT ORACLE RADIO
Sure is nice to get on the road and get out of town. So we’ve heard, anyway. Let’s get in one of these cars and head out to the Mojave Wilderness, a night drive. Never know what’ll happen out here.

In this second episode from the little desert trailer, we have RedBlueBlackSilver on the scene, in the Outpost Project JT yeller trailer, during the recent Curate Joshua Tree’s “FOUND!” show. You’re going to hear some friendly desert conversation with Aili Schmeltz and Emily Silver from the aforementioned ventures, along with strange tales from the Salton Sea with Steven Biller, who is the author of this new piece in Palm Springs Life magazine about the curious phenomenon of DESERT ORACLE.

Listen to the show right here on Art19, subscribe on your favorite podcast system, or tune in tonight in the High Desert, 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, every Friday night.
