KDRT 95.7FM Davis | Where the Grass Roots Grow

Deep Roots! That is what we all need to survive today! Help us grow our roots deep in Davis this fall during our short fundraiser, October 28 to November 3! Now is the time to give us a few bucks, a monthly donation, or a healthy dose of appreciation- whatever you think we deserve for our work. We operate on a shoestring, lots of volunteer passion, and you! KDRT-LP 95.7 fm is an effort we all put time into, and now is that time for our listeners and supporters.

How can you help?

Besides donating, plan to attend one of these fun events we've cooked up this week:

Sunday, October 28: Nickel Slots @ Berryessa Brewing from 3-6pm*
Tuesday, October 30: Treat yourself to a scoop at The Good Scoop, 3-9pm*
Thursday, November 1: KDRT Benefit & British Invasion Night @ Davis Odd Fellows Lodge- doors at 7 pm, music 7:30 pm
Friday, November 2: KDRT Night at Woodstocks Pizza, starting at 6pm!* Live music by The Big Poppies beginning at 8:30!
Saturday, November 3: Garage Sale at the Station! Come down to 1623 Fifth Street, get records, electronics, VHS tapes! Starts at 8am.

*(portion of sales goes to KDRT!)

When you contribute and participate, you provide for shows like the Davis Garden Show, Roots Shoots and Leaves, The Electric Compost Heap, Davisville, or Independent & Local. Do you see a theme? KDRT-LP is all about Davis values, and our programming, and programmers, reflect that.

KDRT-LP can’t exist without Deep Roots, and we ask you to contribute today, with any amount, to make our roots healthy this Fall of 2018. We love our supporters!

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 the show is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Davisville, July 9, 2018: Ideas for downtown in 2040 are starting to emerge

Mon, 07/09/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Downtown Davis, from Google Maps.png

The civic project to define what downtown Davis should be in 2040 is making progress. Meg Arnold and Michelle Byars, chair and vice chair of the Downtown Davis Plan Advisory Committee, described the effort on Davisville in April, and today they return with an update on what they've heard so far—about the idea that streets downtown feel too much alike, how to design housing so a wide range of people could live there, coming up with plans that people can count on, what neighbors and property owners want, and how all this work will fit with the rest of the city. They've received about 3,000 comments to date--and that doesn't include whatever they'll hear at the next participatory design workshop this week.

Rochelle Swanson has seen Davis from several sides—first as a student at UC Davis, and later as a parent, a participant in various civic projects, as a business owner, and for eight years as one of the five members of the Davis City Council. She decided two terms was enough, and on today’s Davisville we talk about the city, how it has changed, economic development, how she interprets the voters' approval of the Nishi housing project this month, what she’s doing next, and more, as she leaves the council behind on July 9.

Davisville, June 11, 2018: You’ve met someone! Long-term? Short-term? At first, it’s hard to tell

Mon, 06/11/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Two paths 060918.jpg

Perhaps you’ve been there. You meet someone, the attraction feels mutual and genuine, and after awhile you wonder, where is this headed? Turns out, says new research from the University of California, Davis, that at first it’s hard to tell whether a new romantic interest is the start of a long-term connection or not. Short- and long-term trajectories begin to diverge just before the time a relationship becomes sexual. Why then? If people defer sex until after marriage, are there other sorting points? Our guest today is Paul Eastwick, an associate professor of psychology at UC Davis and the lead author of the study we’re talking about today. We get into mating schemas, why people are reluctant to end relationships that aren't working, the misperceptions of what college students experience, the practical value of this research, and more.
