OUR PROGRAMS

Classical Excursions

Greg LaTraille

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.  

Live Friday 11am-1pm
Replays Sunday 9-11am
DJ(s):

The Wild Fox Party

WILD FOX RADIO PARTY

Tune in for a wide variety of roots music — including doo-wop, gospel, jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, Latin, African, and hillbilly/country bluegrass — from the early 1920s to contemporary times. The Wild Fox Party focuses on vocal groups , small-group ensembles, and outstanding vocalists and instrumentalists who never or hardly ever get heard. The music provides a forum for learning about history and diverse cultures, and it does so through the exposure of music as art, highlighting points in time that will last forever via the medium of audio recordings.

Live Tuesday 10-11am
Replays Tuesday 10-11pm
DJ(s): 
Frank aka Dr Doowop Fox, Doo Wop Dave

The law of copyright music, on Listening Lyrics – March 13, 2026

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

ChatGPT Image Mar 16, 2026 at 10_13_52 AM.png

Welcome to Listening Lyrics on KDRT. Today’s program is called “1926: The Sounds That Just Became Free.” Every year, music recordings reach the end of their copyright life. In 2026, recordings made in 1926—exactly 100 years ago—enter the public domain. That means the music that shaped early jazz, blues, and country can now be shared freely again. Tonight we travel back a century, to hear the sounds that helped invent modern music.
