ABOUT US

KDRT 95.7 FM is grassroots radio from Davis, CA, airing an eclectic mix of music and public-affairs programming. A project of nonprofit Davis Media Access, KDRT streams worldwide via KDRT.org.

Join Eddy Owt as he explores the rich genre diversity, cross-breeding, and hybridizing in the back waters and tributaries of the past 100 years of music: rock, jazz, pop, r&b, soul, country, ska, electronica, J-Pop/C-Pop/K-Pop, afrobeat, and much more.

"We have a tropical situation where there are thousands of 'species' of music around and they're all constantly cross-breeding and hybridizing. It's very exciting, but you can't keep up with it easily." -- Brian Eno

Twang Thang

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!

My Voice, My Story. Alex Bustos, Life With A Stutter. - November 6, 2026

Sat, 11/07/2026 - 9:40am | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_6275.jpeg

Alexander Bustos is an intern with the Downtown Davis Business Association and a full-time UC Davis student beginning in his junior year.

In this episode of Listening Lyrics I’m joined by Alex Bustos, who has lived much of his life with a stutter. We’re going to talk about what that experience has been like — the challenges, the reactions from others, the confidence it takes, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

This is really a conversation about much more than speech. It’s about being heard, being understood, and living life on your own terms. Since this show is “Listening Lyrics” we know that music often says things we sometimes struggle to put into words, so a few songs will be played as well (see playlist below)

45. Chasing Zero: Working to Eliminate Medical Harm from Boston

Fri, 11/06/2026 - 5:30pm | Dr. Shaikh

Mapping Healthcare Episode 45.png

The Hippocratic Oath pledges to "First, do no harm". But is Zero Harm in healthcare a realistic destination, or is it an unachievable stretch goal that might actually do more harm than good? In this episode of Mapping Healthcare, we explore whether healthcare systems can truly eliminate preventable medical errors or if Zero Harm is an aspirational vision. We trace the evolution of patient safety from individual blame to the Swiss Cheese Model and High-Reliability Organizations. The episode covers just culture, systems safety, proactive risk management, and how healthcare teams balance perfection with everyday reality.
