Praise Time with Preacher

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

Live Tuesday 4-5pm
Replays Sunday 7-8am

Album of the Week, Sep. 27, 2023: Rising Sun Melodies by Ola Belle Reed

Thu, 09/28/2023 - 9:00am | kdrtradio

Today's Album of the Week compiles performances recorded in the 1970s by Ola Belle Reed. It's called Rising Sun Melodies.

From Smithsonian Folkways: "Ola Belle Reed was a trailblazing force for women in bluegrass music, an Appalachian woman of hard-earned talent and generous ways who delivered honest music sung from the heart. Her songs 'I've Endured,' 'High on the Mountain,' 'My Epitaph,' and many others forge real-life experiences into music steeled with determination, family tradition, and commanding presence.

"[These] classic tracks ... remind us why the light of Ola Belle's music shines brightly to this day."

Sara opens autumn with ‘Lux Prima’ on The Awesome Patrol Show

Sat, 09/23/2023 - 2:41pm | kdrtradio

“I love the fall,” says Sara TAPS, host of The Awesome Patrol Show. “It inspires the best playlists from me, and I love being able to witness nature’s physical transition of the colors, of the leaves turning, because it means we’re almost done with another year and hopefully we’ve changed a little bit too -- and so maybe our landscape is looking a little more colorful, or maybe we’ve simplified and gone monochrome and we’re just like totally in this favorite hue of whatever we want to be, and be doing.”

Sara starts this week’s program with “Nox Lumina” from Lux Prima (the picture shows the album cover) by Karen O and Danger Mouse, “one of my favorite records, and from there, we’ll ride a roller-coaster of sound.”

‘He’s just a kid, but God can he play the piano’

Wed, 09/20/2023 - 8:54am | kdrtradio

Chico Hamilton Quintet, Aaron Diehl.png

3rd Streaming presents 20th and 21st century classical, jazz, and motion picture music, and DJ Gary Chew has songs from all of the genres on this week’s show.

He starts with songs from two musicians from different eras who were born this time of year —  “I Want to Be Happy,” by the Chico Hamilton Quintet, recorded in 1955, followed by “Blue Nude” by Aaron Diehl, released in 2013. (The photo shows covers from their respective records.)

Hamilton would have turned 102 on Sept. 20, Gary says. Diehl was born on Sept. 22, 1985. “He’s just a kid, only 38 years old,” Gary says, “but God can he play the piano.”

Davisville, Sept. 18, 2023: How to reduce all that conflict we're feeling (repeat from 2021)

Mon, 09/18/2023 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Arrows of conflict.jpg

This program first aired on Feb. 1, 2021

I recorded this soon after Joe Biden became president. The U.S. had just endured a bitterly contested election, and the conflicts that tear at the country showed no signs of going away -- then or now. To do more than separate into groups and shout at each other, we need to do a better job of addressing and resolving conflicts. On this edition of Davisville Kara Hunter, executive director of the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center, talks about how to handle conflict, wherever we find it.

She believes the quantity of conflict might not have increased in recent years, but our exposure to it has. Also, people might have become more comfortable sharing their disdain, disappointment and disillusionment.

A Constant Grin beckons you to dive head-first into the mischief

Mon, 09/18/2023 - 9:19am | kdrtradio

Each week on A Constant Grin, DJ Chris Mussen delivers indie rock — serious indie — plus Dada show descriptions, like the sentence on this week’s playlist: “Sweet blood bribing my reckless tuxedo egg enemies all winter.”

Chris says A Constant Grin, which has been part of KDRT for years, “is a home-recorded 30-minute maelstrom of mischievous miscellaneous music that can be heard every Friday at 2 p.m.,” plus via repeats and streaming. The current program starts with “Egg in a Frame,” by Palm, from its 2015 release Trading Basics (pictured).

Silver Nine Volt Heart for Sept. 14, 2023, starts with the great Link Wray

Thu, 09/14/2023 - 6:10pm | Rodriguez

Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 9.53.09 AM.png

In today's Silver Nine Volt Heart you will hear the sounds of Link Wray, The Wailers, Nashville Honeymoon, and much more.

Wray's performance of "Apache" opens the show. Wray (1927-2005; photo shows cover of his The Pathway Sessions album) is in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, which says "If there is one musician with an overriding influence over all rock guitarists – from 1960s British rock to 1970s punk to 1980s hardcore to 1990s grunge – that musician is Link Wray. Every young rebel who has donned a leather jacket and slashed away at an electric guitar with loud, distorted abandon owes [him] a significant debt."

And once that song wraps up, well, DJ Rodriguez is only getting started.
