This week, I’m spinning songs that do a little product placement of their own—tunes that name-drop everything from cars to Coca-Cola.

And between the music, we’ll turn back the clock with some classic radio commercials from days gone by.

Great songs, vintage ads, and a few surprising facts along the way. It’s music, memories, and marketing—all rolled into one hour on Listening Lyrics.

Campus meets downtown with Alex Bustos on Hello Davis! – Sept. 9, 2026

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:30pm | Pieter Pastoor

Alex Bustos.jpeg

Alexander Bustos is an intern with the Downtown Davis Business Association and a full-time UC Davis student beginning his junior year.

In this conversation on Hello Davis!, Brett Lee talks with Alexander about his new role with the DDBA and what he hopes to accomplish during his internship. But the discussion goes well beyond the job itself.

What becomes especially interesting is Alexander’s perspective on the relationship between UC Davis students and the city they call home during their college years—how students experience downtown, how connected they feel to the broader Davis community, and what might bring the campus and the city closer together.

It’s a fascinating look at Davis through the eyes of a student who is now getting to know the city from an entirely different point of view.
