This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK plays a veritable smorgasbord of music… some ska, a bit of reggae, a few highlights from the Davis Music Fest, some '60s garage band classics, and several eras of soul music. It’s all over the map, just as the radio gods intended. He thinks it’s really worth a listen this time. Drop on by Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on 95.7 FM and KDRT.org.
Our guest on our June 25 program is Jared Hippler, a primary advocate of the recent decision to ban social media distractions from our public schools.

Join in today and please do check KDRT.org for information on the Celebration of Life for Bill this Sunday, June 28, 2026. We'll look forward to seeing you!

There will be a finger-food potluck, and so please bring some appetizers or desserts to share. RIP, Bill.
