Tim Foster (pictured) is an icon of the Sacramento cultural scene. As the kinetic frontman of bands such as Th' Losin Streaks and the Troublemakers, he's brought high-energy, '60s-infused garage rock to small dive bars and big festival stages across the U.S., Europe and soon Japan. In addition, he is a fixture in the Sacramento journalistic scene as the executive director of Capitol Weekly, the Politico (but better) for California government. He was also the co-founder of the late Midtown Monthly, an important chronicle of the Sacramento art and music scene in the early 2000s. And he's a collector of obscure vintage vinyl, vintage guitars and vintage cars.

Listen in as Tim joins Eddy Owt to discuss those things, spin some records, and whatever else comes up during a LIVE in-studio interview on The Audio Ecotone, Friday from 3-4 p.m. on KDRT 95.7FM and kdrt.org.

IMPLOSION with Nick Saloman brings you a slew of tunes this evening from groups like the Buzzcocks, the Freak Scene, the Glass Menagerie, the Good Time Losers, the Magic Mushrooms, and the Majic Ship. Listen up at 8 p.m. Pacific on KDRT 95.7 fm + KDRT.org – listen anytime via the web and the podcasts!
