Alex Volzer Joins Davis Abramson to Discuss Climate restoration in Yolo County- September 23, 2026

Thu, 10/01/2026 - 10:45am | Pieter Pastoor

Alex Volzer joins David Abramson on Hello Davis! for a conversation about the health of Yolo County’s creeks, environmental challenges, and the future of climate restoration in our region.

Alex has completed his undergraduate studies and is currently pursuing a doctorate in human geography. The devastating wildfires in Lake County and Paradise helped shape his belief that environmental protection and economic development must go hand in hand. He advocates for sustainable solutions that reduce pollution, protect natural resources, and involve communities in open, democratic decision-making.

John Murrieta, a life beyond the accident, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 25, 2026

Fri, 09/25/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

John Murrieta shares his story today on Listening Lyrics, and we’ll use some of his own song selections to help tell it along the way.

Life can change in a moment—but that moment is never the whole story. A snowboarding accident changed the course of John’s life, but what followed is a story of adapting, moving forward, and building a life far larger than the wheelchair he uses.

And a quick heads-up—we had a hiccup at the beginning of the recording. Hang in there. In a funny way, it becomes the perfect prelude to John’s story: things happen. What matters is what you do next.

So, let’s meet John.

Davisville, Sept. 21, 2026: Superfreak tells his story

Mon, 09/21/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Imagine that you’re a child of 5 or 6, in a family with two younger siblings, your mom, and your dad. It’s the early 1970s. Your family quits the family home and steady employment in the United States to drive a van across Europe through countries including Morocco, Yugoslavia, Iran and Afghanistan, eventually deep into India. The goal is to be free. Uninhibited. Not square. 

Your mom has an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Your dad is paraplegic, the result of contracting polio when he was 13. You encounter gurus, groups with colorful names, and “fast-friends” along the way. You live through some scary moments, and some happy ones.

How’d this work out?

This week on Davisville we talk with Caleb Dardick, the onetime child who lived this trip and wrote about it in his new book, “The Adventures of Superfreak: My Childhood on the Hippie Trail.” He’ll talk about it on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. in the main Davis library with Rachel Howard, a Davis author who's also part of today's program.

Thu, 09/17/2026 - 12:05pm | RayK

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.
