PHILIP K. DICK

EPISODE #136: FACES IN THE WINDMILLS

Yul Brynner in 1973's Westworld

Summer’s in the rearview but robots are blocking the road. What kind of world is this? The world of the Future.

It’s time for Episode #136 of Desert Oracle Radio, with your host Ken Layne and soundscapes from RedBlueBlackSilver. Possibly on the radio tonight at 10 in Joshua Tree, definitely on Saturday night at 9 p.m. on KZMU in Moab and Castle Valley. We should really make a webpage with all the current stations, from Alaska to Vermont. We need to get one of these robots, first, to do the “boring and unpleasant tasks.”
