New musical atmospheres tonight by RedBlueBlackSilver. Thanks especially to our patrons. And that’s all we’ve got to say about it. The podcast went out a little early (?!). Sedona is a character in this episode.
Let’s go rambling with Ambrose Bierce on this new episode of Desert Oracle Radio. We shall get a few travel tips, too, in case we want to stop off in Arizona for a few weeks.

You can hear a lot more from RedBlueBlackSilver right here, an ever-growing discography of High Desert Soundscapes. (PS—We said last week’s interval music was “by RedBlueBlackSilver and Ben Rovell, and it’s good stuff.” Well it’s still good stuff but that’s RedBlueBlackSilver on the guitar, too.)
Tonight we bring you strange & terrible tales from Wonder Valley, California: the very edge of Southern California civilization, last outpost of humanity before the vast Mojave Wilderness. It’s a one-hour show recorded at the Wonder Valley Community Center. Interval music is by RedBlueBlackSilver and Ben Rovell, and it’s good stuff.

New show tonight—and the subject matter is appropriate, considering that our host Ken Layne will be appearing (and preaching) at Quema del Diablo on Saturday night, Dec. 7, in downtown Joshua Tree at Taylor Junction. Expect your Desert Oracle set at 6 p.m., right before the Devil burns. And on Sunday, Dec. 8, we will be at The Station Joshua Tree for the holiday flea market, signing Desert Oracle field guides and selling gift subscriptions that we’ll mail for you right from Joshua Tree.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our desert friends. We’ve got an all-new hourlong episode ready for your feast-digesting ears—as long as you’re in the mood for alleged Roy Rogers’ sex cults, a savage desert murder, Ronald Reagan, and 11,000 people in urban-cowboy outfits, all stomping and dancing on the Santa Monica Pier in the 1940s. With strange archival audio and wondrous new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. ALERT: We now have a Patreon page, and encourage you to become a patron of Desert Oracle for as little as two bucks a month!

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.
