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
Replays Thursday 4-6pm

100. That’s a wrap for Timeout Radio

Tue, 08/13/2024 - 1:47pm | Rohan

Timeout Radio Wrap Up.JPG

In this 100th episode of Timeout Radio, we bring this show to a close as I highlight its journey over the past 4 years. It has been my privilege to produce and host a radio show that helped connect my community through good and tough times. Hear about how I launched Timeout Radio remotely in 2020 and developed the show's unique voice. A lot has happened in our world since then. Physical distances were magnified by pandemics, misinformation, social injustices, and climate change. And we were brought closer by science, technology, media, and sports. In our place of the week segment we traveled through the airwaves to over 80 places around the globe — from Antarctica to Zurich.

Davisville, Aug. 12, 2024: Through his prolific sketches, Pete Scully is conversing with Davis

Mon, 08/12/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Pete Scully sketch of the Varsity.png

Pete Scully, who moved to Davis from London, has been sketching scenes in Davis for most of two decades and counting. He’s not sketching for a salary — his job as chief administrative officer for the Department of Statistics at UC Davis covers that requirement — but as a way of conversing with his surroundings and capturing views that he enjoys and expects might change. He draws for himself but makes his work available on his website and on Instagram, X (ex-Twitter), and Flickr. Today on Davisville we talk about why and what he draws, and where this work might eventually reside. He’s creating a portrait of Davis in the first part of the 21st century.

This photo from his X (ex-Twitter) account shows one of his 21 drawings (so far) of the Varsity Theatre.
