Praise Time with Preacher

Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm
Replays Sunday 7-8am
DJ(s):

Davisville, May 18, 2026: Adding homes in Davis that more young families could afford

Mon, 05/18/2026 - 5:00pm | Bill Buchanan

Anderson, looking north 051426.jpeg

Today on Davisville we talk with two of the five people who recently wrote “A Long-Term Pragmatic Plan for a Livable and Sustainable Davis.” Don’t let the dry title dissuade you — the article is clear, light on jargon, usefully specific, and all about Davis. Their ideas include developing denser homes along transit corridors in Davis, including along Anderson Road (pictured), over several decades.

Alex Achimore, an architect and urban planner, and Richard McCann, an environmental policy consultant, talk about the ideas, methods and reasons behind their approach on today’s program, including what they mean by density — think more along the lines of townhomes, duplexes and stacked flats, not apartment towers.
