Today’s Davisville involves Davis, food, the invention of new food products, and potentially good news for the environment, depending on how this idea develops.

The topic is sweet proteins, a sugar alternative probably new to most of us, and Oobli, a Davis company using these proteins to create sweet teas and chocolates that just went on the market. Our guest is the company’s co-founder and chief technology officer, Jason Ryder. He also teaches at UC Berkeley, where he earned a PhD in chemical engineering.

'Is It Alive? Tracks' brings out its annual Halloween show

Dead Tracks.

It's Alive! It’s Alive! It’s Alive! Tracks.

Live Tracks That Head Off Into the Snow and Inexplicably Vanish.

It’s difficult to come up with a proper title for this week’s Live Tracks, the KDRT program nearly as old as that derelict house in the woods that has been empty for decades but where a faint light sometimes flickers in the attic window after midnight.

Songs, skits, Vincent Price recordings, atmospheric sounds ... as host Jim says, it’s one heck of a Halloween program. “Turn out the lights and grab a recreational beverage. A lava lamp is sweet, also.”
