EPISODE #234: CHRISTMAS AMONGST THE JOSHUA TREES

, ,

We’ve heard some weird news about Saint Nicholas that turns out to be a few years old, but that’s all right. Christmas itself is old news, after all. That’s why we love it, because it’s ancient and beautiful, the time for silent walks in the cold night, just the sound of your boots crunching through the snow, the half-moon glowing through the Joshua trees.

Plus: Which phrases and words shall be banned in the new year? And: Christmas poems, from the pen of Frost & Longfellow.

This is EPISODE #234: CHRISTMAS AMONGST THE JOSHUA TREES with seasonal soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Listen on the radio tonight in Joshua Tree, Z107.7 FM, 10 p.m.

EPISODE #225: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DESERT

, , ,

Tonight we are celebrating the full moon and summer solstice, because this is all a dream, and this is EPISODE #225: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DESERT. Which means we’re halfway to winter solstice, and only three months & change ’til Halloween. Maybe that’s why we’re talking about Puck of Pook Hill and homemade cranberry sauce. New soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, who has a Bandcamp site worth your attention!
