It's officially Autumn, at least if you believe the meteorologists -- Meteorological Fall began this week on September 1.

Portents and signs, everywhere we look. But signs of what? Oh, the usual: plague, disaster, but at least we have social media to make it worse. New sounds by RedBlueBlackSilver, hosted by Ken Layne.

Night has fallen on the desert, the desert at its most brutal. The punishing desert, the earthly purgatory, the sun-blasted wilderness so many heroes had to get across alive. Or die trying: Moses, Laurence of Arabia, C-3PO and R2D2, Beavis and Butthead, Allan Quartermain, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

New soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver and a survival-training presentation by our friends at the U.S. Air Force. And yes we are returning to the stage, July 10-11, that's a hot-as-hell Saturday and Sunday in Twentynine Palms. Tickets are $20 and they are going faster than free water bottle bottles at the visitor center.

What happens when the perfect solo day hike becomes the ultimate disaster? How do we arrange things better, so that we don't wind up feeding the vultures? Author Claire Nelson joins us to talk about her harrowing fall and long, long wait for help -- a story of fear and bravery and figuring out your life, told in her new memoir, Things I Learned From Falling.

Well it finally happened, just like every year. All the sudden, it’s hot again. A week ago, it was pleasant out. Now, we cry in the frying pan. Or we will cry, in the weeks to come. October's somewhere on the horizon. Unless it's a mirage.

Plus: The Legend of Tahoe Tessie, which you can read here in Alta Magazine.

Seasons change in the desert, but it's always Rat Time. Kangaroo rats, wood rats, deer mice full of hantavirus, it's just a feast for the rats all year long. New sounds from RedBlueBlackSilver.
