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

Laura Legacki from Yolo CASA, on Imagining Yolo-Davis, March 3, 2023

Fri, 03/03/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Laura Legacki discusses the benefits of volunteering within the Yolo CASA organization. Laura, a long-time volunteer and training director at the nonprofit, shares stories about the bond formed with the foster child, and explains what is required of volunteers and the training they receive.

From Yolo CASA: "The heart of our program is the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), a specially trained and supervised community volunteer appointed by the judge. Research shows that just one consistent, stable, and healthy relationship significantly improves adult outcomes for foster children."

Beth Post here: Today I'm fulfilling a long-held dream of sharing a favorite "soundtrack of my life" album on KDRT's Album of the Week.

Thanks, Pieter Pastoor, for letting me cycle in.

We're playing Disc 2: "After Hours" of Chillin' at the Playboy Mansion. This album is the soundtrack to the Post family's annual North Fork of Long Island end-of-summer vacay, and just hearing the needle drop on this thing is like a month of therapy and a week at the spa.
