KDRT 95.7FM Davis | Where the Grass Roots Grow

Deep Roots! That is what we all need to survive today! Help us grow our roots deep in Davis this fall during our short fundraiser, October 28 to November 3! Now is the time to give us a few bucks, a monthly donation, or a healthy dose of appreciation- whatever you think we deserve for our work. We operate on a shoestring, lots of volunteer passion, and you! KDRT-LP 95.7 fm is an effort we all put time into, and now is that time for our listeners and supporters.

How can you help?

Besides donating, plan to attend one of these fun events we've cooked up this week:

Sunday, October 28: Nickel Slots @ Berryessa Brewing from 3-6pm*
Tuesday, October 30: Treat yourself to a scoop at The Good Scoop, 3-9pm*
Thursday, November 1: KDRT Benefit & British Invasion Night @ Davis Odd Fellows Lodge- doors at 7 pm, music 7:30 pm
Friday, November 2: KDRT Night at Woodstocks Pizza, starting at 6pm!*
Saturday, November 3: Garage Sale at the Station! Come down to 1623 Fifth Street, get records, electronics, VHS tapes! Starts at 8am.

*(portion of sales goes to KDRT!)

When you contribute and participate, you provide for shows like the Davis Garden Show, Roots Shoots and Leaves, The Electric Compost Heap, Davisville, or Independent & Local. Do you see a theme? KDRT-LP is all about Davis values, and our programming, and programmers, reflect that.

KDRT-LP can’t exist without Deep Roots, and we ask you to contribute today, with any amount, to make our roots healthy this Fall of 2018. We love our supporters!

My first guest for 2018 - Josh set the interview bar high for all the guest that will follow. Listen now.

Joshua Wisterman grew up in Woodland, CA and started playing guitar at the age of nine. Now, 19 and playing mostly jazz music in the Sacramento area he has started creating a name for himself as talented and driven. His dream is to keep on doing music all of his life.

Listening Lyrics saw Joshua perform with jazz musicians more than twice his age, let me say that he more then held his own and is a real treat to hear.

Tue, 01/09/2018 - 9:45am | Bill Buchanan

1111 h st 01 rendering jpeg.jpg

Homelessness is a top concern for Davis business owners and downtown residents. To the mix of ideas for addressing the problem, you can add a new idea that already has a location, design and backers – Paul’s Place, a combination of micro-apartments, transitional housing and services. It would replace the current resource center and transitional housing operated by Davis Community Meals and Housing at 1111 H St. Martha Teeter, president of Davis Opportunity Village, and Bill Pride, executive director of DCMH, talk about the project on today’s Davisville. Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak is the designer. A fund-raising campaign to raise the cost through private donations is in the works.

Davisville, Dec. 11, 2017: Retirements in 2018 will bring changes to the Davis Enterprise

Mon, 12/11/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bruce Gallaudet Dec 2017.jpg

When Bruce Gallaudet announced he was retiring as sports editor of the Davis Enterprise, I took the occasion to ask him to come on the show. He has had an eclectic career, and knows more stories than we could ever get to. Halfway through the interview he said his wife, Debbie Davis, has also decided to retire from the Enterprise on March 2, and that’s major news in Davis—she has been editor of the paper since taking over from Bruce in the early 1980s. Today's interview ended up in two halves. The first part is about sports, why it can produce such good journalism, and the large personalities it attracts. The second part is about changes in community journalism, the state of the Enterprise, the plan he and Debbie have to move to the San Francisco Peninsula after they retire, and more.
