On Implosion this week, host Nick Saloman says he's including “an odd holiday tune or two in a fine mix of music from the Ventures, Merry Clayton (pictured), Dave Mason, and more.”
This promises to be another fun show. Find it today (Wednesday, Dec. 20) at 5 p.m. Pacific time, and stream it anytime after then.
The latest Na Mele o Hawai'i features an in-studio visit with Bay Area musician, composer, and cultural practitioner Pili Moreno (shown here with program host Beth Post). Pili shared his new album and brought some awesome vinyl to spin, sharing music that inspired him to learn slack key guitar as well as 'ōlelo Hawai'i!
Tonight at 6pm pst on the Electric Compost Heap, host Dug Deep will be spinning a couple of tunes by Ozomatli, who will be playing in Davis on Sunday, December 17th! We will also be spinning a few seasonal tunes, but NOT A LOT, and none of the same songs you hear every year! Oh, and this evening's show is being made possible by the color coral! You'll just have to tune in to KDRT.org to find out!
Tune in to IMPLOSION at 5p Pacific! Hear host Nick Saloman share stories and songs from the likes of the Soulmates, the Strangers, the Masters Apprentices, and more — only on KDRT!
Please tune in at 6p sharp for Divine Intervention. We'll hear a spot of music from Shane MacGowan (RIP) plus tons of new tunes, including the latest release from Anton Barbeau, who'll help us celebrate our fall fundraiser at the Melon Ball tonight!
Oh, yes, it is nearly time once again for IMPLOSION! Listen up at 5p Pacific for psychedelic sounds with the one and only Nick Saloman of the Bevis Frond. Tune in to hear the Outskirts, Captain Beefheart, the Redcaps, and more. Visit KDRT.org/donate to support this and other fine programming!!
Today on the Dinner Bell Roundup at 4 pm, Dug Deep & Jess Goddèsse saddle up to serve a truckload of swank, swingin' countrified sounds for you and your hounds. Eat your fill then pay your bill at KDRT.org/donate. :-)
Tonight at 6pm DJ Dug Deep will be joined by Jess Goddèsse as they combine their respective radio shows into a magnum opus, the Divine Electric Compost Intervention! Why would they attempt such a massive undertaking, I hear you ask? Well, it's fundraising time around the old community radio station, and we will be imploring listeners to make a donation and keep KDRT alive and well. You can donate a little sumpin sumpin yourself by going to KDRT.org. Should be a lot of fun and a lot of great music, so don't miss it!

For this week's show, Silver Nine Volt Heart host Rodriguez interviewed Jeff Sanford about his recent Cartoon Jazz Orchestra album, Playland at the Beach. This was as fun as it sounds!
Wildly creative cartoon soundtracks, heard on anything from the classic cartoons of the '40s and '50s with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck to today's Anime, deliver an adventurous mash-up of classical, jazz, pop, folk, and everything in between. This music has a new home with Jeff Sanford's Cartoon Jazz Orchestra, a group of gifted, serious musicians who enjoy playing this zany, challenging music that swings like crazy.
Playland at the Beach was released by the Little Village Foundation, a California arts nonprofit that seeks to increase cross-cultural understanding by recording and producing underground artists whose music has not yet been discovered outside their community.
