EPISODE #172: THE LIBRARY OF DESERT SECRETS

, , ,

What sort of religious nut was John Muir? What was the mystical and spiritual argument for the creation of America’s national parks system? Who planted the tall tales that would become global UFO mythology? And why did the cold voice of recorded robots tell Desert Oracle Radio to immediately leave the Los Angeles Central Library, last night?

It’s Episode #172 of Desert Oracle Radio, part of our final live-on-stage show, with RedBlueBlackSilver and Ken Layne. Thanks for supporting this program via Patreon.com/DesertOracle, where we’ll be posting the full hourlong show.

Live from the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, here’s our final show of the 2021 Tour, with your host Ken Layne and live solstice soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Occultists and mystics, cultists and coyotes, all gathered together in uneasy alliance on this Christmas Eve.

EPISODE #140: IN THE TIME OF MOURNING

Rain on the ground, a chill in the air, ghosts on the prowl. We’re back from the Midwest with strange tales from the desert to the cornfields. Hosted by Ken Layne, with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, plus some of our Pygmalion Festival appearance for good measure. It’s the goth time of year, after all: A time to speak of goth things, such as the occult practices and elaborately dreadful mourning of Mary Todd Lincoln.
