ABOUT US

KDRT 95.7 FM is grassroots radio from Davis, CA, airing an eclectic mix of music and public-affairs programming. A project of nonprofit Davis Media Access, KDRT streams worldwide via KDRT.org.

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Replays Sunday 9-11am

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm

Replays Sunday 7-8am

DJ(s):

Preacher

Reggae Cruise

Reggae music from over 100 nations highlighting the global reach and how the components have contributed to its evolution with a focus on the 21st century. No dancehall.

On Hello Davis! for May 6, 2026, non-contact boxing for folks with Parkinson's disease

Wed, 05/06/2026 - 5:30pm | Cyclrn

Did you know that the Davis Senior Center offers a non-contact boxing class for people with Parkinson's disease? It is led by Steve Bonnel, a Davis physical fitness Instructor. Today on Hello Davis!, Community Services Supervisor Maria Lucchesi interviews Steve regarding this program.

For many people with Parkinson's disease, non-contact boxing programs can offer surprisingly broad benefits — physically, mentally, and socially. Programs are usually adapted specifically for Parkinson’s patients and focus on movement, coordination, balance, and conditioning, rather than fighting. Participants say the emotional lift is just as important as the physical benefits.
