  • The Autumn Equinox

    The Autumn Equinox
    Sep 21 2025

    September 22 is the day & 11:19 a.m. is the hour when Fall finally arrives in the Mojave Desert. Add an hour for Nevada and Utah, which both share a little of the Mojave with California and Arizona. While it's still hot on the desert floor, the mountains are cool and the aspens are changing color. Too far from the aspen groves? If you're in the desert, there are Fremont's cottonwoods somewhere near you, and few trees have such fantastic fall colors. New soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, written & hosted by Ken Layne.

  • Monsoon Mood

    Monsoon Mood
    Aug 29 2025

    On a monsoon evening, the sky streaked with golden bands, tropical clouds drawn up from the Sea of Cortez, everything is vibrant, delirious light. No sound but the crunch of boots and dog paws in the sandy wash lined with desert willow and Mormon tea, before we climb up to the mesa and through a high-desert forest of Joshua trees and Juniper. We sit for a while, at sunset: Great Apollo blazing over western mountains.

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.
