With much excitement and intensity (and some anxiety), Teddy has an announcement to make: May 7 marks the Big Day of Giving, a 24-hour celebration and fundraiser for nonprofits making a difference in our community, like KDRT. We’re here for you 24/7, presenting brand new and specialty music, timeless classics, and local news that matters. Now we ask you to show your support for all we do by participating in our Spring FUNdraiser – and when you donate during BDOG through Davis Media Access, our parent organization, your contribution may be boosted with matching funds and more. Ready to jump in? Give by midnight tonight and spread the word! WOOF and THANK YOU!
Did you know that the Davis Senior Center offers a non-contact boxing class for people with Parkinson's disease? It is led by Steve Bonnel, a Davis physical fitness Instructor. Today on Hello Davis!, Community Services Supervisor Maria Lucchesi interviews Steve regarding this program.
For many people with Parkinson's disease, non-contact boxing programs can offer surprisingly broad benefits — physically, mentally, and socially. Programs are usually adapted specifically for Parkinson’s patients and focus on movement, coordination, balance, and conditioning, rather than fighting. Participants say the emotional lift is just as important as the physical benefits.
Today join In the Key of Folk as we glide smoothly into tomorrow's Big Day of Giving and the launch of our spring FUNdraiser!

There's even more, so tune today at 2 p.m. Pacific at KDRT 95.7 FM or stream at KDRT.org. See you then!

There are lots of ways to get to know someone you like, lots of ways to date. What if your outing consisted of you painting pictures together with your friend, partner, perhaps prospective spouse? Call it a paint date.
The Davis Arts Center offers a Paint Date workshop as one of its events this spring, on May 16. It’s a clever idea for getting people to think about taking up a paint brush in front of an easel, plus there’s a social side. What do people paint, when they have an hour to paint something, in the presence of a friend? Are there any stories here?
Today on Davisville we talk with the Paint Date instructor, Roshelle Carlson, sometimes known as Miss Rainbow, and Sam King, executive director of the arts center. We’ll also hear about what else the center is doing this spring, and how it’s doing in this, its 67th year. King says they’ve come back strong from the pandemic, and she explains how they did it.
That's right folks, tune in to Sonic Rehab with DJ Jojo Johanssen on May the Fourth for an EPIC two-song tribute to Star Wars, as well as some house beauts from Blue Six and DJ Gregory plus a track to celebrate Jojo FINALLY reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. There will also be a great prog set to warm things up for a special edition next week.
It should also be mentioned that Jojo may have been a bit indulgent on this one -- 16 tracks over 2 hours! So bring some sonic popcorn, pop those headphones on (or blast those speakers), and get yourself some rehab – some Sonic Rehab! Tune in this Monday, May 4, from 1 to 3 p.m. on KDRT 95.7 FM, or catch it on demand at KDRT.org. Be there!
