Crows and songs, on Audio Ecotone, Sept. 12, 2025

Eddy Owt allowed me (Pieter Pastoor) to fill in for him this week. I had to pick a theme, so a show was born about crows in song. Enjoy the journey in the spirit world of crows.

Crows in Song

Omens & death

Crows are often associated with death, darkness, or foreboding.

Wisdom & mystery

In many Native American, Celtic, and Norse myths (and retellings in literature), crows are seen as wise, shape-shifting messengers between worlds.

Transformation & the uncanny

Crows often appear in magical realism or gothic writing as liminal creatures — half in the human world, half in the supernatural.

Ted Hughes’ poetry collection Crow (1970) reimagines the crow as a trickster, creation figure, and survivor.

Davisville, Sept. 8, 2025: We talk with Benjy Egel, food editor for Abridged, a major new source of regional news

Mon, 09/08/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Benjy Egel, Abridged senior food editor.jpg

Greater Sacramento will gain a promising new source of news and information when Abridged, part of Sacramento public TV station KVIE, officially debuts on Sept. 16. Benjy Egel (pictured), who grew up in Davis and formerly wrote about food for the Sacramento Bee, is Abridged’s senior food editor, and he describes the new journalism project today on Davisville.

The venture employs several journalists who, like Egel, have already worked in this region. We learn how Abridged will work and what it will write about (generally no crime, or politics that aren’t local). Its main product will be a written newsletter, plus video, free to all. The name plays off the idea of building bridges through information, Tower bridge, and writing succinctly. He says Abridged already has enough money for the first three years despite the Trump administration's cuts to public media.

Because Benjy knows Davis, we also took this opportunity near the end of the show to get his thoughts on the city's places to eat.
