Good morning. My name is Autumn Labbé-Renault. I’m a UUCD member and executive director of the non-profit organization Davis Media Access, home of KDRT 95.7 FM, our community’s low-power radio station. I’ve been asked to share a bit about my involvement in starting and sustaining KDRT, or as I like to call it, “the little radio station that could.”

Wed, 06/10/2009 - 2:56pm | Autumn Labbe-RenaultOn the June 10, 2009 episode of "Speakeasy," I interview Sakura Saunders of the Prometheus Radio Project about recent legislative and judicial developments favoring Low-power FM radio. Sakura was one of the original members of the KDRT Working Group abnd helped launch the station in 2004. Listen at http://kdrt.org/station/archives/363
Low-power radio stations saved by D.C. Circuit Court ruling
Fri, 06/05/2009 - 11:32pm | Autumn Labbe-RenaultSharing this press release from our friends at Prometheus Radio Project. This is really poignant because our own battle to save KDRT from commercial encroachment played a role in helping the FCC and courts to understand the strength and community support of LPFMs. Michael Couzens, the attorney mentioned here, represented KDRT as well.

Sun, 03/08/2009 - 3:47pm | Autumn Labbe-RenaultThe scene was Friday afternoon, and my daughter was helping set up for the Joe Craven/Aesthetic Cling concert at the Davis Odd Fellows Hall. Rowan was on her way out to recycle an empty pizza box when Joe said, "young lady, don't throw that out!" Good kid that she is, she said, "I'm not, I'm going to recycle it!" Says Joe, "no, don't do that, I might just play it later."
A good time was had by all!

Dear Eclectic Dinosaur,
Love the programs, as always. I am a big fan of all your shows. I listen
over the magic of the web all the way from Maybrook, NY. Keep putting out
those sounds that bring back great memories for all.
Old but cool,
Thomas Leahey
