The transparent cobalt blue waters of Lake Tahoe are almost as pure as distilled water. However, over the past 50 years the lake has lost about one-third of its clarity. Meet Chris Joseph from Keep Tahoe Blue and learn about the many threats to the blueness of the lake and what we can do to keep it pristine and clear. Explore some of the clearest and bluest lakes around the world from New Zealand to Siberia. Then travel to Lake Tahoe to kayak in Emerald Bay, hike through Desolation Wilderness, meet a fish called Tessie, and help preserve the natural wonder of this sparkling azure Lake of the Sky. |

There are more than 600 college radio stations in the United States and they play a critical role in giving airtime to emerging musicians and local broadcasters. Patrick Figueroa, sports director at KDVS 90.3 FM at the University of California Davis shares how the campus radio station teaches students broadcast production skills and provides its audience with diverse, noncommercial, and freeform radio. We then travel to Argentina — home of one of the oldest university radio station in the world, the highest and lowest points in the Southern Hemisphere, soccer legends Messi and Maradona, and a national sport called duck. |

Statistics is used in fantasy leagues and sports betting to predict the outcome of a game. Chris Harden shares how he combines his love of sports, statistics, and computer science in his job as a sports data scientist at ESPN. Then visit the state of Connecticut, home to the oldest newspaper in the country, the first American dictionary, Mark Twain, hot lobster rolls, and a pizza called apizza! |

59. Beneath the Roots (Part 2)Mon, 10/31/2022 - 3:45pm | RohanThis year California had over 6000 wildfires that burned 300,000 acres across the state. Triggered by rising temperatures, drought, logging, and unattended campfires, these fires caused large-scale deforestation. In the second episode of a two-part series on reforestation, we hear about efforts to replenish California's urban and rural forests that have their roots right here in Davis. Erin Donley Marineau shares how Tree Davis enhances and expands our community's tree canopy. Jimi Scheid from the State of California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection tells us about L.A. Moran Reforestation Center's 100-year journey in replenishing our state's forests. |
58. Crossover with Carmichael DaveMon, 10/17/2022 - 8:22pm | RohanSports talk radio involves discussion of sporting events, and frequently features enthusiastic debate and analysis by both hosts and callers. Listeners tend to build a routine and connect on an emotional level with radio talk show hosts. My morning routine during school days is to tune in to KHTK SacTownSports 1140 AM and listen to The Carmichael Dave Show as I eat my breakfast. There are over 700 FM/AM radio stations in the United States that just cover sports. Dave and I talk about how he got into sports broadcasting, his thoughts on the future of sports talk radio, and how this season is going to go for the Sacramento Kings. |
