Davisville, Sept. 8, 2025: We talk with Benjy Egel, food editor for Abridged, a major new source of regional news

Mon, 09/08/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Benjy Egel, Abridged senior food editor.jpg

Greater Sacramento will gain a promising new source of news and information when Abridged, part of Sacramento public TV station KVIE, officially debuts on Sept. 16. Benjy Egel (pictured), who grew up in Davis and formerly wrote about food for the Sacramento Bee, is Abridged’s senior food editor, and he describes the new journalism project today on Davisville.

The venture employs several journalists who, like Egel, have already worked in this region. We learn how Abridged will work and what it will write about (generally no crime, or politics that aren’t local). Its main product will be a written newsletter, plus video, free to all. The name plays off the idea of building bridges through information, Tower bridge, and writing succinctly. He says Abridged already has enough money for the first three years despite the Trump administration's cuts to public media.

Because Benjy knows Davis, we also took this opportunity near the end of the show to get his thoughts on the city's places to eat.

'Eyes of the Storm' photos by Paul McCartney, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 5, 2025

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

P1964-12-22_DS.jpg

Nearly 60 years after the Beatles performed their final concert at Candlestick Park, Beatlemania is back in the Bay in the form of "Eyes of the Storm" at the de Young, an exhibit of more than 250 personal photographs by Paul McCartney. Images of screaming crowds and paparazzi show the magnitude of the group’s fame and the cultural change they represented.

In this hour, I play the music of artists mentioned in this photo display -- music the Beatles enjoyed in the early 1960s.

Go back in time. Listen in.
