Tonight we’re talking ravens, fishes & loaves, and the soul-crushing indoor indoctrination of the Empire’s State Religion. Sir James George Frazer, Pliny the Elder and the Gospel of Mark are all involved, whether they like it or not. (And the “Bible Friends” podcast mentioned on this episode can be found here.)

Early September, Jupiter tucked under the 2/3 moon at midnight, heaviest of La Luna’s many forms and phases: low over the eastern horizon, like the Death Star under construction. The owls are hooting in three different octaves, a whole choir by relay, a choir of the night. The night air has turned cool again, the wind only whispering.This is Episode #199 of Desert Oracle Radio, broadcasting from Joshua Tree.

EPISODE #007: CHARLES MANSON AT BARKER RANCH & OTHER RAVEN STORIES

, , , , , , , ,

PINE CITY

Have you heard the one about Charles Manson “growing up in Amboy”? Or maybe the one about Charles Manson “killing a lot of his victims at Amboy Crater.” We’ve heard these stories, and they’re nonsense. But the true story of the Manson Family in the California Desert is as strange and threatening as the world can get.

We also talk to some ravens, because somebody has got to do it.

Get the episode on iTunes & other such podcast-delivery systems, or listen live on the radio in Joshua Tree and the Mojave High Desert, 10 o’clock Friday nights.

Sounds and music heard on this broadcast include:
