Twang Thang

Twang-Thang-farmstead-image-Yolo

Twang Thang features outlaw country old and new, showcasing the folks who sowed the harder-edged musical seeds for what we today call Americana, as well as the newer artists who continue the tunes and outlaw ethos forward. George Jones, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Lucinda Willimans, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakum, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Billie Jo Shaver ... Americana music didn't just show up one day — it has deep and varied country music roots. Twang Thang explores the originators, the newcomers, and the music that happened along the way!

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

Joy Cohan from Meals on Wheels, on Imagining Yolo Davis, Nov. 10, 2023

Fri, 11/10/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

LOGO IMAGINING YD.jpg

Joy Cohan is the executive director of Meals on Wheels in Yolo County, whose mission is "to nourish and enrich the lives of individuals in Yolo County, with emphasis on those age 60 and older, by providing nutritious meals to active and homebound people, thereby promoting their health, well-being and independence."

On Imagining Yolo Davis, Joy shares her passion for the nonprofit's mission as she explains how the distribution works. Getting five meals a week, some hot some cold, to more than 800 recipients, takes a well-oiled machine supported by many dedicated volunteers. She gives us a peek behind the scene, and helps us understand the need for this truly exceptional organization.

The start of the Putah Creek Council with Carrie Shaw, Imagining Yolo Davis, Nov. 3, 2023

Fri, 11/03/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

LOGO IMAGINING YD.jpg

This week on Imagining Yolo Davis we welcome Carrie Shaw. She and the other founding members of the Putah Creek Council show us what volunteers can achieve. Whether it's helping one individual, one tree, one pet -- or in this case, reviving a creek -- volunteers make a huge difference.

So listen in as Carrie describes the beginning of the council. We close the show with Creedence Clearwater's 1969 hit song "Green River," which is about Putah Creek.
