Long time listeners know how much we love to make Halloween episodes...here are some favorites of mine 🦇💀🧙‍♀️

All were written, edited, produced, and narrated by @kenlayne.bsky.social

It's also the source of my favorite Dylan cover (in a crowded field).

There was something in the water in 1989. Even established artists like Neil Young and Bob Dylan refocused.

I stole something specific from this one - the only effect I use consistently (ping pong delay).

I was listening to The Mute Gods this morning and saw "Hallelujah" in the track listing...fortunately it was an original.

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos.

Been obsessed with The Mute Gods lately. It's so good to listen to new-ish projects from one of my favorite musicians of my pre-teen years (Nick Beggs - Kajagoogoo bass player).

Lutherans should be about to pick one personal patron saint, as a treat

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Thank you for listening for such a long time.

I am really proud of how the substance of the show has changed (and sometimes changed back) over the years, but we have maintained key elements of style. We are who we are.

You can find The Eldritch Republic episodes on the regular Desert Oracle Radio page of your podcast player, along with the other 250+ installments of the main series.

On a personal note, I just went into my ninth year of contributing music to Desert Oracle Radio, and I am very grateful to continue.

New Episode!

This is the second installment of The Eldritch Republic, a subseries of Desert Oracle Radio.

Two polymaths of the early 19th Century - William Dunbar and Thomas Jefferson - and their correspondence over a UFO report.

Looking up old NFT posts to see who might buy my Dr. Red's Magic Vitality Elixirs (guaranteed to give you the strength of twenty oxen).

Who's up reading about military revolts against Nero?

Since I am originally from the east coast, I was very surprised to learn at 19 that it was a real place and not just a made up place from Bugs Bunny cartoons.

It's on the regular Desert Oracle page. That's why I called it a subseries in my post. Thanks for listening!

Desert Oracle is back with a new series. If you haven’t yet discovered Ken and @redblueblacksilver.bsky.social, you’re in for a treat.

Easily my favorite podcast. I think you’ll like this too.

That's really good

It really is.
