The turn of the year is a natural time to step outside the usual stream of events, and that’s what we do today. We asked three previous guests of Davisville to each offer an observation about Davis as 2026 begins — something they like about the town, or would change, or think is misunderstood or overlooked. Their choices could be serious, light or anything in between.
On today’s program you’ll hear from Tim Keller, who started Inventopia, a business incubator in Davis, who says Davis should plan to be much larger than it is; Sonora Slater, a recent graduate of UC Davis and former editor of the campus news publication, the California Aggie, about young adults moving from Davis to midtown Sacramento; and Andy Jones, a former poet laureate of Davis, an academic technologist, and a UC Davis lecturer in writing and other subjects, who first appeared on Davisville more than 15 years ago. He talks up downtown's quirky public art.
We interviewed each separately by Zoom. Each has seen Davis from different perspectives, and we hope this audio snapshot offers some homegrown food for thought.
(The music between the segments comes from the Byrds' 1968 record, The Notorious Byrd Brothers)
