EPISODE #218: SPOOKY TALES FOR THE ST. PATRICK’S STORM

, ,

The pyramids of Guinness 12-packs at our High Desert grocery stores reminded us of St. Patrick’s Day coming up, but the grey cloudy skies and green hillsides of the Mojave Desert this month are reminders that the old pagan tales are with us still, wherever the landscape is haunted and strange. And that supernatural entities always gather in their ancient homes: wild forests, dramatic outcroppings of rock, and any lonesome place whipped by the winter winds.

This is EPISODE #218: SPOOKY TALES FOR THE ST. PATRICK’S STORM. Listen to the radio broadcast Friday nights at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree & all over the Mojave High Desert, or enjoy the podcast now.

Pearblossom Hwy., 11 - 18th April 1986, #1 1986 - David Hockney

Happy Birthday to Us, by the way. This radio show went on the air six years ago, in mid-June of 2017. And here we are. Some of us, anyway.

Welcome to the American Desert, where we’ve got a “champagne climate” (nine months of brutal summer), David Hockney’s hidden Pearblossom Highway artworks, and wild gunfights in the streets of yore. But springtime is very lovely, if you can catch it. With new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Thanks for supporting this advertising-free radio show A href=”href=”https://patreon.com/desertoracle”>through our Patreon. Listen to the radio broadcast tonight at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree & the Mojave High Desert.
