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.!

Dashboard Diaries — Oct. 22, 2026

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK replaces his wiper blades and tops up the washer fluid in celebration of the season’s first rain. Not much to do about the bald tires ‘til payday... but don’t worry, we’ll be cruising under hydroplane speed and we’ve got The Human Beinz, Boz Scaggs, Leon Russell, The Mavericks, and a whole bunch of other music loaded up for good juju. So let’s tempt fate this Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org.

Dashboard Diaries – Sept. 17, 2026

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK is in a pensive mood. We’re going to forego the Ozzy and Def Leppard and do some navel-gazing with the likes of Nick Drake, Alison Krauss, Marshall Krenshaw, Beck, Boz Scaggs, and a bunch of other artists you haven’t thought about in decades. Tune it to KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org Thursday 3-5 p.m. and I promise to keep you amused and/or entertained for a couple of hours.

Dashboard Diaries -- Aug. 27, 2026

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK takes the roadster for a late summer spin on winding roads just to catch a breeze and hear the tires. Of course, we have just the playlist for the occasion that includes Creedence, Joe Cocker, UB40, Tower of Power, the Kinks, Robert Palmer… and a nod to the national treasure that was Dolly Parton. So grab a road soda and let’s get this thing sideways! Thursday, 3-5 p.m. PDT at 95.7 FM and KDRT.org  

Dashboard Diaries -- Aug. 20, 2026

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK takes a directionless ride through meandering streets and alleys, destination unknown. We’ve got the CD changer packed with almost three dozen tunes, ranging from Sting to Curtis Mayfield, Sly to Chuck Prophet, Steely Dan to Steve Earle and a bunch of stuff you probably never heard of. So get the heck in and we’ll get go get lost. Thursday, 3-5 p.m. PDT at 95.7 FM and KDRT.org
