This week author Fallon O'Neill was in the studio to discuss his book, Geist Prelude. An incredible interview about this young man and his journey as an author. Of course we also played some tunes relevant to the conversation.
Join The Folk Brothers - Bill and Peter - when they welcome Bay Area-based string band The Crooked Jades to the KDRT studios. Founded in 1996, The Jades have been on a two decade mission to revitalize old-time string band music for our modern era. The Crooked Jades are currently touring their latest album - "Empathy Moves The Water", their 7th album, but first in a decade - which features a mix of traditional as well as original ballads and tunes. They will also be appearing at The Palms in Winters that same evening (March 1).
You probably don’t spend much time thinking about the government of Yolo County. Even so, the county does things we need them to do—in areas like public health, the environment, the jail and roads—and decides policies that govern the area. So, the work matters. This spring the county is working on its plan to guide the next few years, and they want your ideas and suggestions on what should be in that plan. Today’s guest, county Supervisor Don Saylor, talks about the information they’d like to get, and how they’ll use it.

Ean Kimura & Erick Fierro, both second-year students at UC Davis, are part of the standup comedy scene in Davis. It’s not a big scene—Yelp’s list of 10 top comedy clubs in Davis stops at nine entries, and lists just one location that's actually in town—but we learn more about it on today’s show. We also talk about why Fierro and Kimura enjoy making people laugh, the UC Davis standup comedy club (possibly the same one Hasan Minhaj started), what makes good standup comedy, what happens when you bomb onstage, and more, including the t-shirt cannon bit they presented on the first edition of their KDVS campus radio station show In the Meantime (8 a.m. Mondays).
Divine Intervention strikes this week with more new music—a lot of rock & pop with a hefty sprinkling of jazz and experimental sounds: Toro y Moi, Cloud Seeder, Ben LaMar Gay, Mozes & the Firstborn, Angel Bat Dawid, John Barera & Will Martin, and much more—plus Vinyl Vespers. See the playlist and stream the show via the program page.
