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. But springtime is very lovely, if you can catch it. New sounds by RedBlueBlackSilver, written & hosted by Ken Layne.

Duel in the Desert

Tonight we are walking across the desert, out of the canyons, over the rivers, to another kind of country. Another place, another time. Trying to trail behind the slow-walking souls of the dearly departed. Even though we are still alive. Desert myths and strange tales for this hottest time of Mojave Summer.

Petrified Forests and Ghostly Goblins

With every passing day, scorcher or not, we are on the march towards Autumn, towards cooler days and longer nights, the time of graveyards and ghost stories. But it’s always time for ghost stories, of course. Especially on Desert Oracle Radio. So tonight, after the exciting Monsoon Season forecast and report, we spend a chilling evening in an old mansion with a writer who just wants some peace and quiet so he can finish his book . . . .
