#041: CULMINATION OF THE PLEIADES

, , , , , , , , , ,


Many wonders over the desert skies—both known and unknown—give reason to be out on cool autumn nights, celebrating rituals. Tonight we address the real reason for Halloween (and how you can celebrate it on Nov. 21), tell monster stories around the campfire, and share the glad tidings of Oumuamua, the alien space probe that shot by Earth last year.

EVENT ALERT: Host & DESERT ORACLE editor Ken Layne will be presenting a spooky talk on desert monsters at the Hi-Desert Nature Museum on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 5:30 p.m. This is the Morongo Basin Historical Society’s “Second Wednesday Lecture Series.” $5 donation to MBHS at the door, get there early to get a seat!

Subscribe at iTunes or wherever you choose to get your podcasts. Or better yet: Listen live at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Pioneertown, Landers, Morongo Valley, Flamingo Heights, Wonder Valley—”from Amboy to Zzyzx,” and across the Great Mojave Wilderness!

EPISODE #039: LOST CITIES OF THE DESERT GIANTS

, , , , , ,

We are back with strange & unusual tales from Death Valley, where the Mojave meets the Great Basin and mysterious subterranean cities of gold were supposedly found by various explorers. Did giant beings travel the skies over our deserts in sky-ships? Some Shoshone legends say Yes.
