Beyond broken glass: Anoosh JorJorian is the guest this week on Hello Davis!

Tue, 08/18/2026 - 10:19am | Pieter Pastoor

Corner Drug, a longtime family-owned pharmacy in Woodland, was recently targeted in an anti-LGBTQ act of vandalism. Store windows were broken and hateful messages were written on the building, leaving behind damage that reaches far beyond broken glass.

This week on Hello Davis!, Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 5:30 p.m., our guest is Anoosh JorJorian, who is affiliated with the Davis Phoenix Coalition.

Anoosh will help us look beyond the incident and discuss the broader questions it raises: How do acts of hate affect members of the LGBTQ community? What impact do they have on the larger community? And what social and cultural conditions create an environment in which this kind of hostility can take root?

Join us for an important conversation about hate, its consequences, and the role all of us can play in building communities where people feel safe, respected, and welcome.

Listen in at KDRT 95.7 FM or online at KDRT.org.

20240926_183918.jpg

Catch the next Sonic Rehab this Monday the 17th from 1-3 p.m. to see what sort of delicacies DJ Jojo Johanssen's picked out. Some Herbie Hancock, Cameo, Tata Vega, and Jesca Hoop. Also a tune and lack of a tune for his friend who sadly passed recently,  a track by an artist whose name can't be said over the air (there's a NAUGHTY word involved), and Cat Stevens covering Stevie Wonder. It's going to be all sorts of rollercoaster, and all sorts of great music, so tune in this Monday or catch it as you can over the next 2 weeks on kdrt.org.

Hello Davis! -- Aug. 12, 2026

Wed, 08/12/2026 - 5:30pm | Pieter Pastoor

This week on Hello Davis!, Brett Lee of the Downtown Davis Business Association sits down with Dave Greenwald, executive director of the Davis Vanguard, for a conversation about how downtown Davis has changed over the past three decades.

Dave has maintained an office in downtown for more than 30 years, giving him a front-row seat to the growth, challenges, and changing character of the city center. Brett invites Dave to look back at what downtown was like 30 years ago, what has disappeared, what has taken its place, and how changes in business, housing, transportation, development, and community life have shaped the downtown we know today.

It’s a conversation about Davis then and now — and what the next chapter of downtown Davis might look like.
