An all-new quarantine episode of Desert Oracle Radio from our secure desert compound, where we are noting the return of the wildlife, the blue skies, the clear air, the happy songbirds, and all the springtime joys of a time when the people have chosen to stay mostly at home, for the sake of human society. New & classic soundscapes by our own RedBlueBlackSilver.

Here the terrestrial radio broadcast on our home station, KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree, Calif., Fridays from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

We've all been dreaming a lot more than usual, or so it seems. Maybe we're just remembering our dreams during this strange time. Maybe we're just spending more time with our brains. But what happens when we all begin dreaming the same dream?

Well the surprise here is that this is an opportunity, to appreciate this time of silence and to appreciate our fragile mortality. The desert has always offered that to the seekers, to the lunatics, to the prophets. Guest Erik Davis joins us for the full hour, as we talk about the very entertaining and enlightening audiobook he just finished for his best-selling High Weirdness. Be here now, with your desert friends. New sounds from RedBlueBlackSilver. Listen to our Friday night broadcast on KCDZ FM, 107.7 in Joshua Tree.

Hey did you hear we're going to open up the country again for May Day! We'll try, anyway. Try to get it going on Beltane Eve. Jason P. Woodbury joins us for another interesting tale about music made here in the American Desert, this time regarding longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, who wrote a number of interesting lyrics about the legends and geography of the Southwest.

Well you'll never guess who joined us all the way from Whitesburg, Kentucky, to talk about the particular desert landscape of SE New Mexico and East Texas. But we will tell you anyway: Tarence Ray from Trillbilly Workers Party. Oh and we're dealing with the matters at hand, as best we can. Fitting new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.

When times are strange, shall we gather in the desert? Well that depends. It depends if you're bringing the Invisible Friend. But we'll get through these tribulations, mostly, eventually. And we will make use of the time at hand.

New Mexico author and journalist Anna Merlin joins us for just the kind of late-night mind-bending radio conversation you probably need right about now. Mystery schools, prepper shopping, psychedelics, the collective unconscious/consciousness, conspiracy theory and new-age conventions. How do we reach the Other Room?

We're hunkering down, like everybody: the tortoises, the rattlesnakes. But they're starting to come out again, while we are just beginning our quarantine.

What do they mean by "Land of Enchantment," anyway? The American Desert is a haunted land, that's what it means, haunted by the good and the bad, the weird and the wise. Sometimes you can tune right in, like a human radio attached to an antenna made of boulders.

Oh St. Minerva, Apostle of the Cacti, please continue to bless our High Desert wilderness and keep out the evil-doers and the slobs. And help us protect your sacred plant, the Joshua tree, etc.
