For Episode 7, guests include Victor Lagunes, President of the Davis Teacher's Association, and Jesse Loren, Winters City Councilmember. We hear about how Davis teachers have been working hard behind-the-scenes as the Davis Joint Unified School District ramps up to launch online instruction next week, and also discuss the recent narrow passage of Measure G.

From Councilmember Loren, we hear how our neighbors to the west in Winters are faring as their small businesses, restaurants, wineries/breweries adapt to the shelter-in-place directive. Several wonderful creative partnerships have evolved such as Yolo Food Bank getting delivery support from the experienced Yolobus drivers, and a new "pick up" partnership between Steady Eddy's coffee and Turkcovich Family Winery, to name a few.

Tune in live at noon on Tuesdays and Fridays at KDRT 95.7FM or here on kdrt.org, and catch replays Tuesdays and Fridays at 5 pm. and Sundays at noon.
