Li Juan shouted, her voice echoing among the dunes.Zh: 那男子转头,有些惊讶,但随即笑了,“我叫浩。En: The young man turned around, a bit surprised, but then smiled, "My name is Hao.Zh: 我在旅行时听说了这里的传说。En: I heard about the legends here while traveling.Zh: 我想用古老的符号和艺术表达这些故事。En: I want to express these stories with ancient symbols and art."Zh: “这些是你画的?”李娟指着沙地上的图案,既惊讶又好奇。En: "Did you draw these?"

Send us a textA church that prepares for the end of the world tells you everything about its present. We dig into Scientology's underground vaults built by the Church of Spiritual Technology—why they exist, how the etched steel archives are made, and the strange logic behind symbols carved into remote landscapes. The story gets less mystical and more material when you ask a simple question: who gets in, how, and what exactly is being protected?We also open the blinds on Int Base and the Hole, where pressure breeds cruelty and survival games replace ethics. Would Shelly Miscavige have steered the ship differently? Maybe on violence, not on doctrine. Disconnection, high-pressure money tactics, and family splits precede any one leader. And here's the number that matters: by 2005, Scientology held roughly a billion dollars in pre-paid services not delivered. That's a massive liability, which helps explain the pivot to pure donations and trophies with no obligation attached. If every paying member asked for the services they already bought, income could collapse for decades.Expect specifics, not slogans. We talk about where the plates are actually manufactured now, who supplies the titanium capsules, why transcripts of leadership meetings are scrubbed clean of expletives, and how event attendance shrinks while rosters inflate with names from the 1970s. We also speak directly to staff under pressure to join the Sea Org: you can walk away, and there's help when you do.It's not all grim. Our community's “Fake Navy Davy” photo contest uses humor to puncture the aura—placing the doll in capitols, burger joints, and make-believe cells—because laughter is a pressure valve and an invitation to look closer. We close with updates from the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation, including real rescues and the steady work of helping people rebuild a life.If this episode gave you clarity or courage, share it with a friend, subscribe for more deep dives, and leave a review so others can find it.

Numbers 14:26-35; Matthew 4:1-11 Something happens to drive us from the garden. Perhaps it is because we have encountered something in life that a simple, comfortable faith can't address. We are wandering in the wilderness now. And remember – wilderness and desert are the same words in Hebrew. What does our desert season look like but one where our faith is being tried in the refiner's fire? Items on the list: - a two-quart canteen of water (per person) - a magnetic compass - a compress kit with gauze - a topcoat - a red-and-white parachute - a jackknife - a sectional air map of the area - two quarts of vodka - a book entitled "Edible Animals of the Desert" - a plastic raincoat - a cosmetic mirror - a .45-caliber pistol - sunglasses - a bottle of salt tablets - a flashlight (4-battery size)

About the Guest: Andrea Hoerr is a committed environmental advocate working with Save the Scenic Santa Ritas and Great Old Broads for Wilderness in Tucson, Arizona. Her work involves fighting against environmentally detrimental projects, such as huge mining operations and the development of border walls in biodiverse regions. Andrea, also known as Dre, uses her expertise as an Arizona Master Naturalist to engage in preserving wilderness areas and fostering grassroots efforts for environmental conservation. Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke engages with Andrea Hoerr, a fervent activist for desert conservation and biodiversity protection. Hoerr highlights the ecological threats posed by the potential construction of a 27-mile border wall through the San Rafael Valley in Southern Arizona. The episode covers the rich biodiversity of the region, including its status as a biodiversity hotspot and migration corridor for a variety of species. The conversation dives deep into the importance of the San Rafael Valley's grasslands, shedding light on the impending consequences of border wall construction, such as disrupted animal migration, waterway destruction, and habitat fragmentation. Hoerr underscores the collective resistance against these developments and invites listeners to a peaceful rally on November 15 aimed at raising awareness and protecting the valley. By presenting comprehensive anecdotes and first-hand experiences, this episode serves as a powerful call to action for greater environmental advocacy. Key Takeaways: The San Rafael Valley in Southern Arizona is a critical biodiversity hotspot, threatened by a proposed 27-mile border wall. Andrea Hoerr and her fellow activists are organizing a rally on November 15th to raise awareness about the ecological impacts of the border wall. The proposed wall will disrupt animal migration corridors, hamper natural waterways, and result in habitat fragmentation. Biodiversity is vital not only to the environment but also to national security, as recognized by various institutions, including the military. Engaging with and bearing witness to the land helps solidify community commitment to environmental conservation efforts. Notable Quotes: "Biodiversity is important to the health and well-being of not only humans, but all the 10 million species that are interconnected." "We acted as if we can do whatever we want without any concern for the repercussions." "You cannot really grasp the magnitude of what's happening here until you get there, until you bear witness for yourself." "Art, as you know, is such an important way to reach people." "We choose to try not to paint everyone with a broad brush. There’s a lot more hearts and minds that can be won over."

Archaeologist Dr. Layla Nasser ventures to the remote Cave of the Swimmers in Egypt's Western Desert, a tranquil place where ancient paintings of swimmers still drift across the stone. These images were created over ten thousand years ago, when the desert was filled with lakes and rain. As Layla follows the faint sound of water deeper into the cave, she begins to uncover a memory embedded within the stone, one that has remained in darkness for millennia. A calm, atmospheric sleep story of desert silence, ancient memory, and what remains beneath the surface of time. This podcast is entirely independent, and your support helps keep it going.

Kristen Decker is the founder of DESERT BLOOM™, a cowgirl boot brand redefining Western fashion with plant-based materials and sustainable practices. What started as a family conversation at a reunion seven years ago became a mission: to create boots that honor cowgirl culture without requiring animal products.Growing up on a small farm, cowgirl boots were always part of Kristen's life—comfort, style, and identity all in one. But she wanted more. She wanted boots that made a difference. So she dove into the unfamiliar world of fashion, experimenting with premium plant-based leathers made from corn and wheat.Today, DESERT BLOOM™ is more than boots; it's a movement for style and compassion. Kristen is focused on building brand awareness through events, pop-ups, and partnerships, all while staying true to her roots.Quote:“I've always believed that surrounding yourself with people who actually know more than you do is the best way to create a team. Because I'm definitely going to pretend that I do not have all the answers. But if I bring my team together, and we all discuss and put our heads together, then we're going to come up with something amazing.”- Kristen DeckerShow Notes:

The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonProduced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Nic Neves, and edited and designed by Jared Olson.

In this episode, my travel partner Cynthia and I explore Al Ula in northwestern Saudi Arabia – where ancient culture meets cutting-edge architecture. We stroll through Old Town's 1,300 mudbrick houses, chat with a modern young Saudi woman named Dalal, and marvel at Maraya, the world's largest mirrored building shimmering in the desert. We also test our luck (and our rental car) in the sand again – with a dramatic sunset rescue by friendly locals. As Saudi Arabia opens up to visitors, this mix of hospitality, history, and high-tech design feels like a glimpse into the country's future.

In Episode 512: we are joined by James, who moved to Hollywood recently to help his career in the film industry after previously working out of Atlanta. One night, James and his friend went out to a bar where they met a guy who wanted to take them to another place to drink. Once they arrived at the new location, James' friend was so weirded out by the people he saw that he bailed and left James alone with his new acquaintance, who talked James into going to yet another party out in the desert, in a place called Joshua Tree, outside of Los Angeles. James wound up spending over 24 hours at that location, and he witnessed so many out-of-this-world things. There were vampires, cloaked figures around pentagrams, flying people, and portals opening up - and it all seemed to be focused around the guest of honor, James himself. As the danger rose, James found himself running for his life through the desert to escape these people who seemed to be grooming him as a sacrifice that night. This is one of the wildest stories we have ever had on The Confessionals, and James tells a riveting story, which could be chalked up to a tall tale by many - but James comes with the receipts that point to this event being very real.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to connect with wild horses? In this episode, I take you with me on my September journey through Salt Wells Creek and the Red Desert Complex in Wyoming. With the roundup postponed for another season, I was able to spend time among wild horse families who remain free, witnessing their strength, their relationships, and the quiet power that defines life in the high desert. Throughout this trip, I spent mornings watching families gather near water, stallions keeping watch over their bands, and bachelor groups moving together across the landscape. Their movements, their social bonds, and their ability to endure challenges are powerful reminders of what's at stake in keeping these herds wild.

Tonight's guest comes to us from Florida, former Border Patrol agent Chris, who spent years patrolling one of the most remote and haunted stretches of land in America. A place where UFOs streak across silent skies, thermal cameras chase phantom figures, and the ghosts of the past refuse to rest. When night falls on the Texas borderlands, the desert comes alive with more than smugglers and shadows. Chris recounts his years on the line between the living and the dead, from discovering long-lost bodies under the desert moon to hearing stories of faceless women and spectral children in the Otay Mountains.
