Praise Time with Preacher

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

Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment. 

Live Tuesday 6-8pm

Alexandra Lee-Job of Davis Phoenix Coalition on Hello Davis!, April 15, 2026

Thu, 04/16/2026 - 9:45am | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_5480.jpeg

Today on Hello Davis!, host Anoosh Jonjonian speaks with Alexandra Lee-Job, a founding member of Davis Phoenix Coalition.

The conversation explores the coalition’s mission to unite the Davis community by confronting intolerance, preventing hate, and promoting a civic culture that values diversity and inclusion in all forms. Alexandra also discusses the harmful idea of “permanent immigrants” — when people are still seen as outsiders even after generations in America.

Most of all, this is a story about the power of one woman’s voice and how determined action can help shape and strengthen an entire community.
