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

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

STEAC Christmas project, 2021.JPG

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.”

The photo shows food and gifts collected and given away during STEAC’s holiday program in 2021.

Andy Schmidt presents a journey of a playlist, on Listening Lyrics, Nov. 28, 2025

Fri, 11/28/2025 - 5:40pm | Pieter Pastoor

Andy copy.png

This week on Listening Lyrics, Andy Schmidt joined me in the KDRT studio to share a playlist that mirrors his life built on movement, curiosity, and craft.

Andy is a journey all by himself. An accomplished bassist, entrepreneur, avid bicyclist, master handyman, sail maker, kayak builder, storyteller—you name it, he’s probably done it, made it, or fixed it. Stepping into Andy’s world is like walking into a friendly windstorm: You just keep moving, lean into the energy, and enjoy the ride.

His playlist reflects that whirlwind spirit. Each track takes us somewhere new, offering a glimpse into the rhythm and momentum that fuel Andy’s life. If you’d like to see another side of his creativity, check out his custom bicycle basket and frame bags at Lords Luggage.

Listening Lyrics playlist for 11/28/2025

This week on Dashboard Diaries, host RayK gives thanks with a live musical tribute to home, family, bountiful food and, of course, the prevention of grease fires and clogged drains. Joined by a relative or three, Ray will try to fill that quiet void between the parade, dog show, football games and dinner. So pull up a chair and let’s dig in!
