In the Key of Folk, May 28, 2025

Sometimes things just need to be repeated and amplified. With that in mind, today on In the Key of Folk, I'll be playing more tracks from the recently released album by I'm With Her, along with other new releases. Included are tracks from albums by C. Daniel Boling (featuring Tom Paxton),  Dee Robinson, Lee Hunter and the Gatherers, and a new single by Lisa Bastoni. I also plan tracks by Kora Feder and Justin Farren, who will be playing in Sacramento this week, and Evie Ladin.  So join in at 2 p.m. today at KDRT 95.7 FM | KDRT.org

That's Life -- Understanding our Water and Soils - 27 May 2025

That's Life -- brought to you by our Water and Soil!

Soils and water and other things are fodder for this episode.  Lois is talking to guest Don Shor (of Davis Garden Show fame!) -- about so many things that we won't try to list them all here.

Understanding our water -- where it comes from , where it goes, how it's used, and by whom -- is vital to knowing what to expect in the future.  Understanding how our soils were formed and how the various soil typesinteract with that water is the basis for many of our gardening and farming decisions. 

That's a Blog ??!??

Lois' Blog is resuming !!!!   DJs, hosts, and programmers are being asked to post in their KDRT blog (and on other social media) every time we make a new show.    Since mine are recorded at home, I can tell you exactly what was/will be on the show this week.  So keep an eye out for announcements from me here again.

As of spring 2025, "That's Life" broadcasts at noon on Tuesdays and re-plays at 5:00 pm on Wenzdays.

You can also hear the show  on your podcast app.  (Use the RSS/Podcast link on the show's program page.)
