It’s Thanksgiving time in America and we are talking turkeys, and sage grouse, and we are taking your calls on our scary-story line. What does the arrival of the Northern Flicker mean, in augury? How has the Triple Goddess survived relentless persecution by the patriarchal religions of bureaucracy? And why did Benjamin Franklin adore the wild turkey? It’s EPISODE #173: THE GROUSE AND THE GODDESS. Soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, written and hosted by Ken Layne.

What’s going on with that mysterious Utah monolith? What’s going on with Brendan Maze and his new “plague refugee” Substack newsletter? The small-town desert real-estate market is hot, for now, and he’s got some tips on the sorts of under-appreciated properties you might be able to afford. Especially if 10 or 12 of you go in on it, together.

This is Episode #111.

New soundscapes from RedBlueBlackSilver, and don’t forget to check out his new album, Five Flora. You might recognize some of the tracks.
