Alex Volzer joins David Abramson on Hello Davis! for a conversation about the health of Yolo County’s creeks, environmental challenges, and the future of climate restoration in our region.

Alex has completed his undergraduate studies and is currently pursuing a doctorate in human geography.

He advocates for sustainable solutions that reduce pollution, protect natural resources, and involve communities in open, democratic decision-making.

John Murrieta, a life beyond the accident, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 25, 2026

Fri, 09/25/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_6177.jpeg

John Murrieta shares his story today on Listening Lyrics, and we’ll use some of his own song selections to help tell it along the way.

Life can change in a moment—but that moment is never the whole story. A snowboarding accident changed the course of John’s life, but what followed is a story of adapting, moving forward, and building a life far larger than the wheelchair he uses.

And a quick heads-up—we had a hiccup at the beginning of the recording. Hang in there. In a funny way, it becomes the perfect prelude to John’s story: things happen. What matters is what you do next.

So, let’s meet John.
