IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

On Hello Davis! for May 6, 2026, non-contact boxing for folks with Parkinson's disease

Wed, 05/06/2026 - 5:30pm | Cyclrn

IMG_5522.jpeg

Did you know that the Davis Senior Center offers a non-contact boxing class for people with Parkinson's disease? It is led by Steve Bonnel, a Davis physical fitness Instructor. Today on Hello Davis!, Community Services Supervisor Maria Lucchesi interviews Steve regarding this program.

For many people with Parkinson's disease, non-contact boxing programs can offer surprisingly broad benefits — physically, mentally, and socially. Programs are usually adapted specifically for Parkinson’s patients and focus on movement, coordination, balance, and conditioning, rather than fighting. Participants say the emotional lift is just as important as the physical benefits.
