Resist! The Audio Ecotone for Feb. 7, 2025

We've managed -- barely --  to make it through another week of the kakistocracy. However, there have been a few gimmers of light in these dark days. Thousands turned out across the country in the first of what will likely be many acts of protest against the undemocratic and unconsititional usurptation of power by this administration and the courts (at least those that have not yet been co-opted) have begun to hit back at the overreach. We here at The Audio Ecotone HQ are doing our small part in providing a soundtrack for the Days of Resistance, with selections this week from Billy Bragg, Nina Simone, the Bug Club, Danny Elfman, Les Breastfeeders and more. We'll also be highlighting tracks from two compliations released today benefitting Los Angeles fire relief. You will want to jump on these quickly, especially as the Good Music compilation is only available on February 7th!

Listen live at 3:00 pm Pacific on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis or online at kdrt.org. Replays Saturday 6:00-7:00 pm and Tuesdays 7:00-8:00 am.

First Show

Get Ready to Sip and Spill with Taste Talk & Whine! Staring February 18, 2025

Get your glasses ready, folks, because a brand new radio show is about to drop, and it's serving up a delicious blend of conversation, culture, and, of course, wine (the w-h-i-n-e kind!).  Join your hosts, the dynamic duo Nicole and Tree, as they uncork the latest trends in the industry, explore fascinating stories, and maybe even let out a little whine about the daily grind.

"Taste Talk & Whine" isn't just your average wine show.  Nicole and Tree are passionate about more than just the grape; they're digging into the stories behind the wines we drink, the culture that shapes our palates, and the occasional frustrations that pair perfectly with a good Syrah.  Think of it as your weekly dose of relatable chatter, insightful discussions, and, yes, plenty of opportunities to discover your new favorite vino.

Rain! The Audio Ecotone for Jan. 31, 2025

Rain ... oh, you're a fickle visitor. Sometimes you stay too long; sometimes you don't come at all. In the Davis area, we've gone nearly a month without the wet stuff, much to the chagrin of farmers, gardeners and water managers.

Listen live Friday at 3-4 p.m. Pacific on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis or online at kdrt.org. Replays Saturday 6-7 p.m. and Tuesday 7-8 a.m.
