Happy Ides of March, happy St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day, and happy five-year anniversary of the COVID-19 lockdown &mdash; the beginning of it anyway: 15 days to slow the spread . . . not a great slogan, for what it cost, but that&rsquo;s what we got. Much of the world is much the same as it was five years ago. Same iPhone, same president, same daylight savings time. Where did the lockdown time go? What did it do to us?

Hosted by editor Ken Layne and featuring a cast of intriguing mystics, oddballs, scientists and artists, Desert Oracle Radio is your soundtrack for a desert night. The program is broadcast on Friday nights at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in the Mojave high desert, with field reports from around and across the desert lands, and is distributed by Public Radio Exchange (PRX).
