Hello Davis! with The YoloSol Collective, Jan. 28, 2026

Wed, 01/28/2026 - 5:30pm | Pieter Pastoor

Unknown.png

On today's Hello Davis!, David Abramson interviews Juliette Beck of the YoloSol Project.

On its website, YoloSol says it "cultivates place-based civic engagement and learning about issues of environmental and economic justice in Yolo County through storytelling, and creative nature-based and multimedia cultural activities. YoloSol brings together multimedia artists, cultural workers, and community organizers, who have decades of experience using digital and hands-on technologies and practices, to foster inclusive public participation. We believe that the arts are the best vehicles for fostering dialogue across difference, so that we can work together to build climate resilience and a just transition from the current fossil fuel economy to an equitable, inclusive and sustainable society."

Davisville, Jan. 26, 2026: You have four weeks to make a short movie. On your mark …

Mon, 01/26/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

The subject of this movie is Davis.jpeg

One of the new events in Davis for 2026 is a competition, led by a Davis marine biologist whose awards include an Emmy for his camera work, that’s open to anyone willing to make a short movie during the next month. The film must include a Davis-centric prompt to be announced this Wednesday, Jan. 28, and run no longer than 7 minutes. You’ll have about 4 weeks to get it all done.

The goal of the Davis Flash Film Challenge “is just to get people to make movies,” says Craig Musburger on today’s Davisville.“We really want to help kind of build on the creative community of Davis and the surrounding area.”

Musburger is president of Everywhere Science, a Davis nonprofit, but the movies don’t have to use science as their subject. He says he won’t be surprised to see superheroes or romantic comedies among the entries. As long as the entry doesn’t exceed the bounds of a PG-13 rating, “anything goes and everybody’s welcome.”

Listening Lyrics, Jan. 23, 2026: Remembering Bill and Diane

Fri, 01/23/2026 - 5:20pm | Pieter Pastoor

Tribute to Diane and Bill.png

Recently, KDRT lost two truly wonderful and creative super-volunteers—friends who helped shape the heart and soul of this station. Diane Crumley and Bill Wagman were long-time members of the KDRT family, deeply committed to community radio and to showing up, week after week, with generosity, curiosity, and care.

Today, I’m sharing an hour of upbeat, sing-along music—not to mark a loss, but to celebrate a life well shared. This hour is about the joy, the laughter, and the connection Diane and Bill brought into our lives.

So stay with me, turn it up, sing along—and let’s celebrate them together.

RIP Bill Wagman

Fri, 01/23/2026 - 3:56pm | kdrtradio

wagman.png

We here at KDRT – along with the entire music-loving community – lost an excellent friend and colleague this week in Bill Wagman. In addition to hosting our own Sometimes Folk and Folk Brothers programs, Bill could be heard for years on KDVS, presenting a fine array of music, from traditional folk to the latest sounds, including American roots and its offshoots. Bill also brought many touring artists to his wonderful house concerts over the decades. We will miss his knowledge and love of music, his ongoing positivity and support, and his smile. Please do enjoy some of his past shows, on the air and in our archives at KDRT.org. RIP, Bill.
