#071 HOW TO DEAL WITH OUR WEIRD WORLD

, , , ,

California author/mystic/philosopher Erik Davis delivers a bracing message on the wisdom of engaging with our very weird & sinister modern world, as we return to our Desert Oracle Institute studio and get back to the good old sound you once claimed to love. Plus: desert intuition and recently seen Wonders in the Sky.

Jim Sullivan UFO

We’re hanging on to Halloween like a gila monster, with our spooky broadcast from Friday night. What exactly happened to Jim Sullivan, the now-beloved singer-songwriter who was barely known in the 1970s and then disappeared in the New Mexico desert? Music writer Jason P. Woodbury joins us to talk about the re-release of Sullivan’s self-titled 1972 album; Jason wrote the liner notes for this Light In the Attic Records release.

Then we are joined by L.A. witch/journalist Laura Bolt, to talk about the magic of autumn and the spooky scene in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree.

#061: THE HAUNTED PETROGLYPH

, , , ,

Night has fallen on the Mojave and it’s time to turn on the FM, 107.7 in Joshua Tree and the whole High Desert, 10 p.m. with an all-new episode. We’ve got the strange tale of this petroglyph, stolen from the desert outside Ridgecrest days before the monster quakes.

We’ve got seismic conspiracies and we’ve got Brendan Maze, we’ve got it all. All you need on a hot desert night. Watch the skies and hang on to the ground. Also, our host’s mom remembers Apollo 11. Subscribe! It’s all we ask, right now. Subscribe and rate and review and do the whole thing, if you’ve got five minutes. It’s a form of psychic currency and we appreciate you spending some of it on our High Desert jamboree.

And here’s the KLAS I-Team segment we did with George Knapp in the mountains around Area 51:

#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.
