  • Father Crowley: Desert Padre of the Owens Valley

    Father Crowley: Desert Padre of the Owens Valley
    May 9 2025

    If you’ve run around the breathtaking Eastern Sierra, you know Crowley Lake, and Crowley Point, and maybe even the rare Crowley Lupine of the Sierra’s Eastern slope. All three are named in honor of Father John J. Crowley, the Padre of the Desert. His heroic life and tragic death are remembered on this very Catholic episode of Desert Oracle Radio, with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.

  • The Vanishing Boy of Yavapai County

    The Vanishing Boy of Yavapai County
    Apr 19 2025

    Here’s how the Channel 12 news in Phoenix began the story, Thursday night on the 10 o’clock news: “God sent that dog to rescue my son.” These words were spoken by the toddler’s father, Corey Allen, outside the family’s home on the west side of rural Seligman, Arizona. Corey Allen says he was working on the roof, Sarah Allen was inside with their youngest. And two-year-old Bodin Allen went outside to play.

    But when Bodin Allen’s mom called for him, he didn’t answer. He wasn’t there. And after an hour of frantic searching beneath a darkening sky, the Allens called the Yavapai Sheriff’s Department and before long there were dozens of search-of-rescue volunteers and deputies searching the area. Helicopters with spotlights scoured the plateau, the pilots reporting two mountain lions prowling the territory. A rancher named Scotty Dunton discovered the blond-headed toddler, seven long miles away from home, deep into the backcountry to the west. The boy was coming up the driveway, along with Scotty Dunton's big ranch dog, Buford the Anatolian Pyrenees. This is EPISODE #141: THE VANISHING BOY with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Written & hosted by Ken Layne.

  • Spring Forward With the Desert Birds

    Spring Forward With the Desert Birds
    Apr 6 2025

    It's a cool & pleasant springtime in the Mojave High Desert. The hummingbirds are lingering on the branches of creosote and catclaw, looking around for the flowers. Where are the flowers? Well, that’s always the guessing game up here, isn’t it? Sometimes they’re evident by the end of March, sometimes it’s the beginning of May. Varies by terrain, by altitude, by a hundred little differences from spring to spring, in this forward motion of our lives. ALSO: Traveling Doc Holliday's West.

Radio for a night drive on a desert highway.

Sermons and campfire stories from the high desert, harkening to a time when those were one and the same.

A wide variety of topics and moods, with the weird history, lore, and natural world of the Mojave and the greater desert Southwest representing a common thread, not sidebars.

A Must Listen for all Desert Rats; Humans too

This podcast is such fun! A mix of folklore, Mojave magic, military history, Owens Valley tales and dreams of better, wetter times. As someone who frequents 395 and it’s offshoots as often as possible, listening to Ken reawakens memories of road-trips long passed, and adventures yet to come.
