Dashboard Diaries – Oct. 29, 2026

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK takes a ride to the spooky side of town to try to score some candy. And the music? We’ve got some tricks, and we’ve got some treats, but not a dud in the bunch. So climb in... we’ll have you back by curfew… maybe.

Tune in Thursday, 3-5 p.m. on KDRT.org or listen to the podcast anytime. Next week, Dashboard Diaries moves to Wednesdays at 3 p.m.!

Sonic Rehab party time this Monday, Oct. 26, 2026

Get ready for some eclectic party time music on the next Sonic Rehab! DJJJ has a couple more versions of "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters after playing the orginal version last week, some anime music from Yoshimasa Terui, and even some country for the first time! And of course, plenty more, including a section of music he loved hearing on the radio but seemed to only be played very late at night. Intrigued? Then tune in this Monday from 1-3 p.m. PDT on KDRT 95.7 FM or stream live on kdrt.org.

If you can't listen live (booooooo!) or want to listen again (yaaaaaaay!), you can check it out in the kdrt.org archives for up to 2 weeks after broadcast. d(-_-)b

So let’s tempt fate this Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org.
