IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Davisville, Nov. 3, 2025: Yolo Local news and information project takes another step forward

Mon, 11/03/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Yolo Local sticker at Davis Media Access office, October 2025.jpeg

Yolo Local, an emerging Davis Media Access project to create a new place for local information and news -- with the goal of countering the decline of local news outlets -- has wrapped up several months of conversations and research to learn more about what people in Yolo County want and need. This fall the project published a report with insights and ideas, and early next year they'll start using this work to define what Yolo Local will be and how it will function. It'll probably include a website. Other ideas include producing information in Spanish, and a "backbone" that news outlets might use to work together and share resources.

Today we get an update with Autumn Labbe-Renault, DMA’s executive director, about how this work in progress is coming together.
