Dashboard Diaries -- Nov. 27, 2025

This week on Dashboard Diaries, host RayK gives thanks with a live musical tribute to home, family, bountiful food and, of course, the prevention of grease fires and clogged drains. Joined by a relative or three, Ray will try to fill that quiet void between the parade, dog show, football games and dinner. So pull up a chair and let’s dig in!

Tune in Thursday, 3-4 p.m. on KDRT.org or anytime.
