Heads up: This live recording comes with a few “authentic” technical hiccups (let’s call it character, not static). Luckily, the enthusiasm more than makes up for it—it practically jumps through the speakers.
In the studio with me are Richard Jia and Gray Erby of MyDavisCalifornia, chatting—sometimes loosely, sometimes wildly off-track—about their website and the quirky little town we all love, Davis.
Now, this isn’t your average “local blog where someone posts about their cat and favorite burrito joint.” Nope. MyDavisCalifornia is a full-on content playground: stories, visuals, collaborations, insider tips—the works. Born in 2021 out of sheer enthusiasm (and possibly too much coffee), it’s become the digital buddy you didn’t know you needed for exploring Davis.
Davis only has 65,000 residents, but some of the videos have been viewed well into the millions. How’s that for a statement? (That’s like every resident watching—and then rewatching—about 30 times. Talk about town spirit.)
The brains behind it? Three UC Davis alumni—Richard Jia, Gray Eby, and Brandon McKee—who somehow turned their Aggie pride into a website that makes the rest of us wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
