A hint of techno, on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 5, 2025

Fri, 12/05/2025 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

This week on the show, we’re stirring things up with a playlist that carries just a hint of techno. Not a full dive into the club scene—more like the perfect recipe where a pinch of something unexpected transforms the whole dish. A subtle pulse here, a shimmering synth there… just enough to wake up your senses without stealing the spotlight.

So settle in, get comfortable, and let these rhythms sneak up on you in the best possible way. It’s a little familiar, a little futuristic, and absolutely worth the ride. Enjoy the mix.

Davisville, Dec. 1, 2025: The silver lining is the public’s response

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

It’s been a strange year for food relief, marked most recently by the sporadic suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aid during the federal government shutdown this fall. Today on Davisville we talk with two people deeply involved in different areas of Davis food relief: Liane Moody, executive director of the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, and Max Morgan from the Davis Night Market. They talk about what they’ve seen this year, the growing demand for food assistance, underlying causes, and short- and long-term ideas that could reduce the problem.

We talk about prospects for 2026. “The skeptic in me says, oh, this is going to keep getting worse,” Morgan says. “The one big optimistic point, which Liane [talks] about too, is the way the community has stepped up support as things have hit a whole another nadir. It’s really impressive.”
