Replay of The Folk Brothers from Feb. 2, 2022: Remembering Norma Waterson (1939-2012)

Mon, 02/16/2026 - 11:00am | Jim Buchanan

OIP.jfDVQS_A7JfG8hI-h3XFRwHaHa.jpeg

The Watersons -- Norma, her sister Lal, brother Mike, cousin John Harrison, and (later) Norma's husband Martin Carthy -- defined the English trad-folk revival of the 1960s. In the '90s, Norma Martin and their daughter Eliza Carthy, morphed into Waterson:Carthy. Even in ill health, Norma was recording until a few years ago. Her contributions to -- and influence on -- English folk music cannot be overstated.

Hello Davis! This week it's the Davis Downtown Business Association, Feb. 11, 2026

Wed, 02/11/2026 - 6:20pm | Pieter Pastoor

This week on the program, Brett Lee — executive director of the Davis Downtown Business Association — sits down with Kevin Wan, owner of Sophia’s Thai Bar & Kitchen.

Their conversation explores the unique challenges facing restaurants in Davis, from rising costs to shifting customer expectations, and how local businesses are adapting to the changing appetites of the public.

It’s an insightful and thoughtful look at one restaurant’s journey — and in many ways, reflects the broader story of doing business in our community.
