Jazmin Garcia at KDRT January 2025.JPG

You’ll hear a lot of enthusiasm from today’s guest on Davisville — also love for Yolo County, curiosity for the world around her, the importance of “bringing youth perspectives to the table,” talking up civic engagement, appreciation for friendly neighbors, what she notices as she splits her days between Davis and West Sacramento, and respect for officeholders who will help you regardless of whether you voted for them or not.

And that’s only some of the ground we cover. Meet Jazmin Garcia, a Davis Senior High School junior who lives in West Sacramento and the host of new KDRT program NextGen Talks.

Rain! The Audio Ecotone for Jan. 31, 2025

Thu, 01/30/2025 - 5:30pm | Eddy Owt

falling_rain_drops_on_umbrella.jpg

Rain ... oh, you're a fickle visitor. Sometimes you stay too long; sometimes you don't come at all. In the Davis area, we've gone nearly a month without the wet stuff, much to the chagrin of farmers, gardeners and water managers. That's about to change with this weekend's storms and we'll be doing some celebratory rain dances on the Audio Ecotone to the music of Bessie Smith, Madness, the California Honeydrops, Old 97s, Chyi Yu, the Brangs, Tom Waits and more! Listen live Friday at 3-4 p.m. Pacific on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis or online at kdrt.org. Replays Saturday 6-7 p.m. and Tuesday 7-8 a.m.
