Today In the Key of Folk does some reminiscing on time recently spent out in the singing peace of nature, with tracks by Rita Hosking, Laurie Lewis, Molly Tuttle, and others. Then DJ Karen moves into a mix of favorites and  a try at comparison (curious?). The hour finishes with a Scandi tune or two. Coming up soon!

Tune today at 2 p.m. Pacific at KDRT 95.7 FM or stream at KDRT.org.  

Davisville, June 1, 2026: In bike town Davis, e-devices have altered traffic safety

Mon, 06/01/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Almost anyone listening today is likely to have an opinion about the topic — namely, how well are bicycles, powered scooters, e-bikes, vehicles and pedestrians co-existing in Davis? In terms of safety, courtesy, observing the rules … and what are the current laws for powered scooters and bikes? Probably not what you think, and the Legislature is looking at changing them.

Two people have been hit and killed while riding bicycles in or near Davis so far in 2026. We likely all have stories of seeing drivers who only slow for a stop sign, powered motorbikes in the bike lane as they zip past cars, or people walking into the street while focused on their screens. Hopefully, we’ve seen people make room for each other on the streets, too.

Today we talk about city statistics, the emergence of e-bikes and e-scooters, the laws so far, what the city is doing, and what individuals can do, with Davis Police Chief Todd Henry, and Ryan Chapman, the city’s director of public works engineering and transportation.

Listening Lyrics, May 29, 2026: With Karl Rasmussen, joyfulness is a Big Sticky Mess

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

When it comes to guests, Karl Rasmussen is definitely on the “A” list. He’s articulate, thoughtful, full of energy, and brings the kind of warmth and enthusiasm that leaves an impression on everyone he meets.

Karl is a true multi-instrumentalist—equally at home on guitar, keyboards, trombone, percussion, and vocals. He’s a driving force in Davis/Sacramento’s own Big Sticky Mess, a band with deep local roots and a sound often described as a joyful blend of early-’70s funk, soul, and rock—full of groove, humor, and heart.

Beyond Big Sticky Mess, Karl has lent his talents to a wide range of Northern California bands and projects, including Boca do Rio, ideateam, and several jazz and funk collaborations. No matter the setting or style, one thing always comes through: Karl loves making music and loves sharing it with others.

Sonny & Miles & more on The Audio Ecotone – May 29, 2026

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 10:03am | Eddy Owt

This week we lost one of the last giants from the "classic" age of jazz. Sonny Rollins passed at the age of 95 on May 25, one day prior to Miles Davis' 100th birthday. Rollins not only helped define the sound of jazz tenor saxophone on such classic albums as Saxophone Colossus, Freedom Suite, and The Bridge, but he also continued to evolve and perform up into his eighties. On this week's show, we highlight some of his classic tracks, pay tribute to Miles' 100th, and spotlight some new music and upcoming shows this weekend. Listen live at 3 p.m. PT on 95.7FM locally or kdrt.org worldwide.

Replays Sunday at 4 p.m. and Thursday 10 a.m.
