A few months ago I stumbled upon Desert Oracle Radio and have been busily going through their back podcast catalogue. I have a lot of eps to catch up on! The show's host and creator, Ken Layne, also publishes a quarterly field guide magazine to which I quickly subscribed. I thoroughly enjoyed the first issue I received and discovered that many of the earlier issues have been compiled into book form, Desert Oracle Volume One. Got that for my birthday and finished it last night. So enjoyable. Short little vignettes on desert weirdos, wildlife, UFO sightings, myths, history of the Mojave and much more. True escapism for someone like me stuck in the metropolitan madness of Dallas, Texas. Highly recommend the show, magazine and this book. Greatness.
