LSD Egyptian Twins did this happen to you???

Not only a new episode 10 p.m. tonight on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, but an hourlong episode: “The Other Room,” in which we engage in the sort of late-night desert-talk-radio conversation that we need & you need: Intuition, LSD, Carl Jung, the “Conscious Life” expo, gods and monsters, desert ley lines, etc. Our guest is the New Mexico/New York/Los Angeles author and journalist Anna Merlan, who reports from the Land of the Weird.
