All Hallows' Full Moon and the Great Conjunction Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

It's almost Halloween and we've been too worried to notice, but now that the good weather is here and the veil is thin, make sure you get out beneath the Halloween Full Moon. Our bird-biologist friend C. Del Desierto joins us for strange tales of the desert eagle spotter.

And do prepare yourself for the Great Conjunction of 2020, which you can watch happen in real time, by watching Saturn and Jupiter grow ever closer together in our night sky. When the solstice arrives, December 21, well you'll sure know it.

Halloween Night, 2035 A.D. Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Hey are you going to the big ritual, down in the grove? It's Halloween Night. And while things were pretty bad for a while, lately it has been a little bit better, out here in the High Desert.

Strange new sounds from our RedBlueBlackSilver, true crime stories from Joshua Tree, and well just a lot of uneasiness, which is appropriate for the season.

In the Beginning Was Gaia Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

You know what time it is: It looks like we sort of infuriated Good Ol' Mother Gaia to the point that Gaia is feeling the need to wipe us off the face of the Earth, the Earth being Gaia. We screwed up pretty good this time!

Also: Your postcards and letters from around and across these desert lands. Speaking of such things, our new issue, #9, is out now. You can subscribe at our website — DesertOracle.com — or pick up a copy at fine shops in downtown Joshua Tree. New tracks by JT's own RedBlueBlackSilver.

The Eighth Tower Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

Is it UFO season in the desert again? People have sure been seeing a lot of strange things up here around Joshua Tree, and "military flares" is never a good enough answer for all the odd activity in the skies.

Tonight we bring you a campfire story about a particular strange sight in the sky we experienced a few years ago, and as our special guest we have the interesting and engaging Michael Hacker, narrator of eight audiobooks by the late, great John Keel. This means we will be talking about the superspectrum and VALIS and The Eighth Tower.

You can find Michael Hacker's many paranormal-philosophy audiobook performances at Audible.com.

Betwixt and Between Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

In these last days of this cruel summer, as our wilderness burns, what we can we learn from the Other Life, the world of our pandemic dreams and universally traumatized collective consciousness?

Sometimes, there are signposts in the rubble of the ongoing disaster.

Message Deleted Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

How are we doing out there? Pretty bad? Well nobody likes to hear "the ultraterrestrial entities told you so," but, the ultraterrestrial entities told you so.

It was 27 years ago this month—at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe—that 62 students witnessed a miracle. Of the biblical variety. Several strange, wise entities appeared in their bizarre vessel at the edge of the playground, hovering over the brush the way the White Goddess and the Queen of the Universe and the Virgin of Guadalupe always appear, so often to the relatively pure eyes and hearts of the children.

And they had a message. We did not heed the message.

Strange new soundscapes from RedBlueBlackSilver tonight, a fitting musical environment for tonight's tales of environmental terror.

Secrets of the Superspectrum Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

Burrowed down through another Extreme Heat Event, we send this radio dispatch to you. The world has gone mad, why not join the fun? Join the revolution.

Well what happened is we were talking about all the desert creatures coming out of their holes at night—literally, the rabbit holes, in the case of our many Mojave cottontails and jackrabbits—and then all the sudden we went down the rabbit hole, too. At least it's cooler down here! Meade Layne and Edgar Cayce come up, thanks to a shared connection.

Fine new sounds by RedBlueBlackSilver.

Dark Psychic Force Aug 28, 2020

Show notes

Remember last August, a year ago, when the national media found it very funny that presidential candidate Marianne Williamson mentioned the "dark psychic force" that had taken hold of America?

Well, here we are. We had better make the best of it. How are you surviving in our New Time? We will talk about some of the ways to make it through, from spiritual revelations to forming little communities with your friends and family. Lots of fine new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, too.

Mountain of the Stars Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

We are back in the scorching hot radio studio with an all-new episode of the radio show that Palm Springs Life magazine named the "Best Freaky Radio Program." Sure, fine, we'll take it.

Tonight, it's all about the mysterious place names of the desert southwest, in particular the 1.6-billion-year-old 30-mile-long slab of rock called Sierra Estrella. The Estrellas. Home of the "Estrella Lights."

This is the Border Radio Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

Thanks to the Time Loop we all seem to be stuck in, our 99th episode is here . . . . directly following our 100th. The border used to be a lot of fun, back before the prison walls went up around our country. And guess what, now we can't leave. PLUS: Jason P. Woodbury joins us with the wild tale of Arizona's own Giant Sand.
