Let us know what's on your mind?Note: Audio only! Video coming soon...We head into Joshua Tree National Park for a birthday trip and a one-mile loop through Hidden Valley, with a close-up look at Intersection Rock, stacked boulder mazes, and the valley's surprising mix of plants. Along the way, we unpack why Joshua trees got their name, how microclimates form, and how to hike and explore responsibly in the desert. • arriving near Intersection Rock and aiming for the Hidden Valley Nature Trail • the origin story behind the name “Joshua tree” and the praying silhouette comparison • trail basics: one-mile loop, easy grade, minimal elevation gain • Hidden Valley is a “mosaic of miniature worlds” shaped by wind breaks and moisture collection • transition zones with fewer Joshua trees and more oaks and other species • yucca as food, fiber for weaving, and soap from roots • why Joshua Tree encourages exploration off-trail in places and how to do it thoughtfully • the Great Burrito climbing area and the need to balance access with habitat and archaeology protection • rock cracks and crevices as natural water collectors that support desert life • pinyon pine ecology, seed dispersal by jays, and long human use of pine nuts and pitch • Mojave Desert timeline, shifting forests, and why Hidden Valley can hold more moisture • desert hiking safety: heat planning, water, electrolytes, shade, sun protection, and the 10 essentials And hey, if you're liking this video, make sure to give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to see more great content.

Comedian and actor Beck Bennett (SNL, What's Our Podcast?) joins Nicole to talk about meeting his wife on a sketch shoot and how his wallet-less first date turned into a romantic, fart-filled sleepover. Beck opens up about surviving long-distance dating while shooting SNL, why he believes "love is trust," and the Joshua Tree engagement trip that ended with them sleeping in separate twin beds. He shares the creative ways he jerked off as a kid (including using a Sock'em Bopper and a vibrating pen), and Nicole admits to stealing her first vibrator from Spencer's Gifts.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcastTake our listener survey and shape the future of the podcast!Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:• Jones Road Beauty: Use code DATEME at jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Gift with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad • Warby Parker: My listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/DATEME — and using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad• Squarespace: Head to squarespace.com/DATEME to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code DATEME.Follow:All Links: linktr.ee/whywontyoudatemeTour Dates: linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastakenYouTube: @WhyWontYouDateMePodcastTikTok: @whywontyoudatemepod Instagram: @nicolebyerX: @nicolebyerThis is a Headgum podcast.

Episode Summary: In this episode, host Chris Clarke revisits the spirited discussion surrounding the High Desert Art Fair and its portrayal in media. Cindy Bernard and Bernard Leibov engage in a dialogue to address critiques and misconceptions, particularly related to an LA Times article that stirred emotions within the Morongo Basin. Their conversation navigates the crucial roles of artists in economic and cultural spheres while emphasizing the need for nuanced understanding among residents and media alike. As the episode unfolds, Cindy and Bernard elaborate on key differences between various art events like the High Desert Art Fair and Desert X, underscoring their distinct roles in cultural development. They explore the often-contentious relationship between commerce and creativity. Their exchanges offer critical insight into the dynamics of art, community, and conservation in the desert landscapes. Key Takeaways: The High Desert Art Fair has been a growing initiative offering free and subsidized opportunities for local artists, contributing significantly to the community's cultural economy. There is a clear distinction between art fairs, like the High Desert Art Fair, and international biennials, such as Desert X, each serving different purposes and audiences. Addressing public misconceptions, the guests stress the importance of education and nuanced dialogue between new artistic movements and long-standing community members. The podcast underscores the value of local movements toward smart cultural and economic integration, contributing to more balanced community development in desert regions. Cindy Bernard and Bernard Leibov highlight the necessity for creative expression and economic sustainability to coexist in an evolving rural landscape. Notable Quotes: "The desert needs all sorts of people in order to be the economic place that it is. It's an environmental place, but it's also an economic place." — Cindy Bernard "Let's allow people some grace… We're all trespassing in a sense." — Bernard Leibov "Art and culture's existence in desert regions is crucial not only to expression but also to fostering economic opportunities." — Cindy Bernard "We are all adapting and learning, and education about the land and community is crucial for any new player in the desert landscape." — Bernard Leibov Resources: Visit Desert Trumpet for local news coverage in the Morongo Basin.

Eliza Coupe is an actor who has appeared regularly on shows like Scrubs, where she was Dr. Denise “Jo” Mahoney, and Happy Endings, where she starred as Jane Kerkovich-Williams. She's also a person who lives much of the time in Joshua Tree, California, dedicating herself to a rather elaborate, daily, hours-long spiritual practice. We're going to let her go through all that effort while you simply lie back and listen to her smooth professional actor voice tell you all about it. Hear about her sauna suit, her collection of dogs, her supportive husband who would rather not join in on all this business, and the ever-transforming power of snakes.

This episode explores Josefina's experience at a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, an intensive silent meditation practice rooted in the original teachings of Gautama Buddha.✧ Retreat Overview and PreparationWhat is Vipassana meditation? Josefina immersed herself in 10 days of “Noble Silence”, no talking, eye contact, or gestures, to fully turn inward and observe sensations, cravings, and aversions. Her retreat took place in Joshua Tree at 29 Palms, booked through Dhamma.org. She attended with her fiancé and learned that proactive communication (even when waitlisted) can help secure a spot. Once committed, she fully immersed herself, letting go of other practices like yoga, breathwork, journaling and reading to discover a deeper connection to her inner nature.✧ Her Experience and InsightsThe beginning wasn't all peaceful and blissful; it was irritating. Small things, like her assigned seat or interactions with others, triggered her. Instead of reacting, she used these moments as opportunities to observe her internal patterns of judgment and aversion. Managing the Process: Josefina emphasized the importance of staying light with diet and choosing self-care, such as prioritizing sleep, over strict, perfect adherence to the schedule.Reflecting on Relationship: The retreat experience allowed Josefina and her fiancé to deepen their connection through a shared, quiet awareness, leading to a profound reunion at the end of the retreat.She also embraced flexibility, prioritizing rest and self-care rather than rigidly following every aspect of the schedule. Listen to her personal story, insights, challenges, and revelations in this episode. ✧ BreakthroughsAs the days progressed, deeper patterns surfaced.She noticed a tendency to cling, especially to pleasant sensations and her fiancé's attention. When that attention wasn't present, it triggered deeper feelings of rejection. By day seven, this intensified into what she described as a “psychosomatic storm” of rage, linked not just to the present, but to unresolved childhood experiences. Instead of resisting, she stayed present with the physical sensations. Through observation, she reached a state of stillness and realized that the agitation itself, not external situations, was the root of her anger. .✧ 10-day Silent Vipassana retreat:Go to the website - https://www.dhamma.org/en-US✧ Connect with Josefina:Follow on Instagram: @Josefinabashout Apply for your free Pleasure blueprint session with Josefina https://lp.josefinabashout.com/booking

Jeff was recently reminded of this 20-year-old Hoytus episode while officiating a wedding with a warm Joshua Tree desert wind starting to have its way with the perfectly-coiffed hair of the assembled friends and family. By the time everyone got to the reception, the wind was blowing at a steady 20-25 miles per hour and all that perfect hair wound up every which way. For Jeff, his relationship with hair (or lack thereof) was sealed at a very young age.

U2 is a band from the north side of Dublin that became a global phenomenon-and while its four members have traveled the world over for almost fifty years, some of the most critical points on their journey have been in Southern California. The Joshua Tree is the best-known example of U2's artistic immersion in the Golden State, but the band began drawing inspiration from California's landscape as early as 1981 during their first arrival in the U.S. for the Boy tour. From deserts to beaches to urban streets, Southern California features dozens of sites that are both sacred and significant to U2 history. For the first time, these sites are documented and categorized in a single resource to inform and support the Southern California pilgrimages of U2 fans. I Go There With You (2026) provides the information U2 fans need before embarking on such a quest, whether individually or in groups. Each site has a story, and this book tells those stories-along with must-have details for trips that require extra planning and foresight. In addition to essential information on each site's place in U2 history, author Brook W. Flagg aims to inspire U2's most devoted followers with anecdotes and scrapbooked images. Just as Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. traveled through Southern California along the road from innocence to experience, their fans can find catharsis and healing by going into the mystic portals of the past-places where, over the decades, U2 found pieces of what they were looking for. Brook Flagg on Twitter. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America (Backbeat Books, 2021), Frank Zappa's America (LSU Press, 2025), and U2: Until the End of the World (Gemini Books, 2025).

U2 is a band from the north side of Dublin that became a global phenomenon-and while its four members have traveled the world over for almost fifty years, some of the most critical points on their journey have been in Southern California. The Joshua Tree is the best-known example of U2's artistic immersion in the Golden State, but the band began drawing inspiration from California's landscape as early as 1981 during their first arrival in the U.S. for the Boy tour. From deserts to beaches to urban streets, Southern California features dozens of sites that are both sacred and significant to U2 history. For the first time, these sites are documented and categorized in a single resource to inform and support the Southern California pilgrimages of U2 fans. I Go There With You (2026) provides the information U2 fans need before embarking on such a quest, whether individually or in groups.

Episode Artwork by Carl Dennis Buell. In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke shares a poignant and introspective narrative about his early years in the Mojave Desert, weaving together personal reflections and environmental insights. Chris takes listeners on a journey back to 2008, reflecting on his time in the small town of Cima, California, and the unique experiences that have shaped his understanding of desert ecosystems and the vital partnerships within them. Chris explores the intriguing history of the Joshua tree, its interaction with the extinct Shasta ground sloth, and the fascinating complexities of ecological relationships over time. With vivid storytelling, he describes the challenges faced by these iconic desert plants in the face of climate change, highlighting the interconnectedness of species and the profound impact of historical events on modern-day ecology. Key Takeaways: Chris Clarke draws a compelling parallel between his personal journey and the ecological history of the Mojave Desert, emphasizing the importance of storytelling in understanding environmental issues. The episode highlights the critical role that extinct species, like the Shasta ground sloth, played in the dispersal of Joshua tree seeds, illustrating the interconnectedness of past and present ecosystems. Through reflections on climate change, Chris underscores the urgent need for proactive conservation measures to safeguard desert landscapes and their unique biodiversity. The story of Cima, California, serves as a microcosm of broader desert challenges, including invasive species and human impacts on fragile environments. Personal anecdotes and historical insights combine to create an engaging and thought-provoking narrative, reinforcing the value of desert ecosystems and the need for their protection. Notable Quotes: "You know you're in a small town when your post office box number is lower than your age." "Joshua trees are once again likely to die out in at least the southern parts of their range. But this time around, they have no sloths to carry their descendants northward." "Live with someone long enough, and invariably, even after the relationship ends, an image of the other remains behind." "The desert tree must now somehow manage on its own." "This gentleman holds two mutually contradictory beliefs in his head, without noticing the incongruity."

In this episode of Caught on the Mike, I sit down with Shane Told—frontman of Silverstein and host of Lead Singer Syndrome. We dive into Shane's journey from the early days of the post-hardcore scene to building one of the most consistent and enduring bands of the last two decades. He opens up about how his role as a frontman has evolved, what keeps the band creatively driven after 20+ years, and how their latest double album, Antibloom / Pink Moon, came together during a transformative stretch in Joshua Tree. We also get into the Camp Screamo Tour with Story of the Year—why it's taken this long to happen, what fans can expect from the setlist, and how the band is balancing nostalgia with pushing forward. Plus, Shane breaks down what podcasting has given him through Lead Singer Syndrome that he doesn't get from being on stage—and how those conversations have reshaped his perspective as an artist. If you've followed Silverstein from the beginning or you're just discovering them now, this episode is a deep dive into longevity, evolution, and staying passionate about your craft. #Silverstein #ShaneTold #LeadSingerSyndrome #PostHardcore #Emo #CampScreamo #StoryOfTheYear #AlternativeMusic #MusicPodcast #CaughtOnTheMike
About the Guest(s): Ruth Nolan: Ruth Nolan is a distinguished poet, educator, and an ardent desert advocate residing in the Joshua Tree area. With extensive experience living in Coachella Valley and the Mojave Desert, she has become a central figure in desert literature and education. Ruth serves as a Professor of English and Creative Writing at College of the Desert and was honored as the first Mojave Desert Literary Laureate in 2021. She is the editor of "No Place for a Puritan: The Literature of California's Deserts" and the author of "After the Dome Fire". Her work emphasizes the cultural and environmental significance of the desert. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Ruth Nolan, examining the impacts of art festivals on the desert community, specifically focusing on the High Desert Art Fair near Joshua Tree. Clarke and Nolan critically analyze the language and intentions behind a recent LA Times article that portrayed Pioneertown's art fair as a cultural mecca, akin to the Hamptons or Marfa. This raised significant concerns among locals about the gentrification and ecological footprint on their cherished desert. Through an insightful conversation, Nolan shares her discontent with the article's portrayal of the desert as an exploitable blank slate, intended as a playground for affluent city-dwellers. Nolan, rooted in a deep appreciation for the desert's unique charm, critiques the growing trend of large-scale cultural incursions that disregard the needs and voices of local residents. The episode further explores the concept of desert protection by urging new inhabitants and visitors to approach the desert with respect and stewardship rather than seeking to transform it into an urban extension. Key Takeaways: Gentrification Concerns: Ruth Nolan expresses concern over the influx of affluent outsiders transforming the Joshua Tree area, highlighting community displacement and environmental implications. Media Influence: The interview critiques media portrayals which often serve as promotional content rather than objective journalism, significantly impacting local perceptions and realities. Local Voices Matter: The need for community involvement and acknowledgment of local voices in discussions about development and conservation is emphasized. Desert's Unique Identity: Nolan advocates for the protection and appreciation of the desert's intrinsic beauty and fragility, pushing back against external visions imposing changes. Environmental and Social Stewardship: Encouraging newcomers to embrace sustainable practices and support local conservation efforts is vital for the desert's future. Notable Quotes: "Ask what you can do for the desert, not what the desert can do for you." – Ruth Nolan "Are we not learning that there's nowhere else to go after this?" – Ruth Nolan "The magic's already here. Just get out of your own head and go listen." – Ruth Nolan "There's a difference between moving here and connecting and respecting, and importing yourself because you have a vision." – Ruth Nolan "Eventually, what had looked like a monotonous expanse of boring, scraggly shrubs reveals itself as a magnificent expanse of boring, scraggly shrubs." — Chris Clarke Resources: The Border Chronicle: What Do Argentina's Disappeared Have to Do With Unidentified Migrants on the U.S.-Mexico Border?

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes London-based journalist Maddie Fry to a “timey wimey” episode of Set Lusting Bruce to discuss how she discovered Bruce Springsteen through a 2006 BBC broadcast of The Seeger Sessions, then worked backward through albums like Devils & Dust, Magic, and The River, becoming a deeper fan after a powerful 2013 London show and later attending the Liverpool concert where Paul McCartney joined Bruce onstage. Maddie also traces her lifelong devotion to U2, sparked in early-2000s adolescence by All That You Can't Leave Behind and The Joshua Tree, and explains how music by Springsteen, U2, and Johnny Cash shaped her political awareness and led her into writing about religion, spirituality, and culture. The conversation explores faith's relationship with power, modern politics, and ends with Maddie's answer to the “Thunder Road” question and where to find her Substack, U2 and Us. https://www.premierchristianity.com/culture/faithless-the-story-behind-bruce-springsteens-soundtrack-to-a-lost-spiritual-western/20448.article https://u2andus.substack.com/ 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:45 Meet Maddie Across Timezones 02:00 Growing Up and Early Music 04:07 Finding U2 First 06:23 Seeger Sessions Lightning Bolt 10:33 Working Back Through Bruce 12:40 Devils and Dust Deep Dive 14:12 2013 Show Turns Superfan 18:54 Concert Counts and Uncle Andy 20:45 U2 Origin Story 23:20 U2 Shows and Fandom Culture 24:52 Writing Religion and Politics 25:02 Music Sparks Meaning 26:24 Faith Through Lyrics 28:00 Reading Toward Belief 29:29 Faithless Research Journey 32:37 Religion And Power 36:13 Radical Gospel Ethics 41:01 Privilege Luck And Myth 44:03 Liverpool Show Reverence 46:06 Facing Cultural Mortality 48:24 Mary Gets In The Car 49:48 Where To Find Maddie 50:53 Podcast Wrap And Plugs Learn more about your ad choices.

If you listen to audio programming, and of course you do, you already know Sam Sanders' voice from show's like NPR's It's Been a Minute, The NPR Politics Podcast, and The Sam Sanders Show on KCRW, for which he was a natural choice to host, given his name. Sam has a great voice and he works incredibly hard on the somewhat interesting but not ultimately fascinating task of putting together an audio program, whether that's on podcast or radio. Or video, which still has audio in it. Sam Sanders talks with fellow audio programming veteran John Moe about all the elements of putting together a show such as his or, heck, the show you're listening to here. Sam reveals his secret tricks to useful curveball questions and his recommendation of just lock your phone in the trunk and drive somewhere like Joshua Tree. Gotta say, Joshua Tree keeps coming up for our guests. John Moe likes it there too. And U2 has a whole album about it. Let's get those guys on. Anyone have an Irish phone book? We need to look under B for Bono or, I guess, E for The Edge, assuming The is his first name? Listen to It's Been a Minute, The NPR Politics Podcast, and The Sam Sanders Show on the radio and or wherever fine pods are cast. Follow Sam Sanders on Instagram @samsanders.

With branches of scraggly leaves growing upward like hands raised to the heavens, the unique trees we saw while hiking Joshua Tree National Park in California intrigued us. Many believe the trees were dubbed “Joshua Trees” by pioneers, who were reminded by the trees of an Old Testament story where Joshua lifted high a javelin as a sign of God’s presence and help. After entering Canaan, the Israelites needed God’s help in battle. After being defeated at the city of Ai due to their sin (Joshua 7:11–12), the Israelites were likely afraid to fight the city again. But God encouraged Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (8:1). Then God told Joshua to “hold out toward Ai the javelin that is in your hand, for into your hand I will deliver the city” (v. 18). Joshua obeyed God and “did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin” until the battle was won (v. 26). It wasn’t the javelin in Joshua’s outstretched hand that secured the victory. Instead, it was a symbol of God’s promise to help them and be with them. Reminders of God’s presence with us can be helpful when we face difficult challenges. A Bible verse displayed in our homes, a stunning picture of God’s creation, a cross necklace: these things don’t provide assistance, but God can use them to remind us of His promised presence and power.
