Covid Crossings
The Great Mojave Desert can be a scary place. If you aren’t having to dodge alien visitors to our planet, you’re probably dealing with airbnb’s or rattlers. Mr. Lane manages to discuss just about everything that happens around his Joshua Tree bunker. Each week during Coved, I needed to drive across the Mojave Desert and I would leave my own bunker in Joshua Tree to make that moonlit drive, but I wasn’t alone (even aside from space aliens). Mr. Lane was with me each week to educate me about how to survive in this vast ocean of sand we call home. Did I get scared sometimes? I’d say chilled to the bone, but it’s brave enough of me to drive 247 late on Friday nights as it is. The sound of that coyote howling let me know it was time to begin. I’d drive pretty slowly so I’d hear most of the show before I was out of radio range. If I drove too fast Alice Cooper would strangely take over the airwaves and I’d miss the end of the show. Alice triggered all sorts of bad memories I’d like to forget. Growing up with radio shows like Doctor Dimento taught me the value of radio programs. Covid would not have been the same had it not been for Ken Lane and the Desert Oracle. I no longer make that drive each week, but I do still listen to the show.

I love the episodes that discuss the desert, the solitude, nature, and the weirdness we find in the high desert. Not so into the Jeremy Corbell hoaky wannabe alien weirdos. I like the alien talk a little, but it can get to be too much. I often listen to this podcast while staring at my Joshua trees.

Do you ever look up? Look out? Look in? Are you under-appreciative of the world around you? Do you not know? Do you even want to? If you do/are, listen. And listen close. If you don’t/aren’t, listen. And listen close.

I look forward to this podcast every Friday. It's an atmospheric walk through the desert that captures everything we love about living in these arid places. Everything from the commonplace to the eerie gets narrated with the same droll charm.Read full review »
