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.

Thu, 09/09/2021 - 12:00pm | Don Shor

pothos-400x518-from-ad.jpg

Today's topics:

Tomato problems this year
Water needed for growing food is more than water needed to just grow foliage
Almond trees
Nematodes -- what are they and what to do if you have them
House plants that are, and are not, easy to grow
Don recommends for new gardeners: Golden pothos (and relatives), Easy ZZ, and Snakeplant (Sanserveria)
Growing trees indoors
Ficus benjamina = flexible about lighting, but fussy when you move it.
Is it too late to plant tomatos? Pepper? Pumpkins? YES, those get planted in the spring to be HARVESTED in the fall.
Now is the time to start planning (and planting) your winter garden! (More details next show.)

The Folk Brothers for Sept. 8, 2021: Folk musicians strike back

Wed, 09/08/2021 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

Unknown.jpeg

Many Folk/Americana musicians -- like those featured on today's show -- have never shied away from calling out hypocrisy and injustice. Jackson Brown has long championed the anti-war movement. Iris DeMent (pictured here) advocates for women's rights. And Jason Isbell has challenged the intolerance and ignorance of many country music fans: recently he has advocated for proof of vaccinations to attend his live perfromances. Also on today's show, new music from Spiers and Boden, Adam Holmes, The Faux Paws, and a 50-year-old classic track from Lindisfarne.

Davisville, Sept. 6, 2021: Latest effort to reduce homelessness in Davis is taking shape on H Street

Mon, 09/06/2021 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Pauls Place illustration.png

A firm number is hard to come by, but there are probably at least 200 homeless people in Davis. Paul's Place is the latest resource to help them get off the street. It will offer tiny apartments, transitional housing, and services, and it replaces an old, former house where Davis Community Meals and Housing has been offering help for more than 20 years.

On today's Davisville, DCMH Executive Director Bill Pride talks about Paul's Place, why it's named for his dad, the current state of homelessness in town, the effect of the pandemic, and a few insights he's learned over the years while seeking to help the homeless in Davis.

Masks, personas and music, on Listening Lyrics

Fri, 09/03/2021 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

mask. n.jpg

Covid started and we ended up wearing masks. I really never owned a mask before but now I have a box of them in the house and many more in my car. So of course I had to do a show on masks -- not only the type I have in my box, but the masks we wear to present ourselves to the world or to hide behind.

Great songs will take us on the musical journey of masks.

Davis Garden Show, Sept. 2, 2021, butterflies and hanging baskets

Thu, 09/02/2021 - 12:00pm | Don Shor

KDRT_DGS_MilkWeed_HangingBaskets.png

Many, many questions this time! (Some carried over to the next show.)

Gardening for butterflies,

hanging baskets for coastal zones,

time to plant brassicas (cabbage-family) and a winter garden,

persimmon trees struggling to establish,

tomatoes that didn't do well, and more.

That's Life with David Hosley

Thu, 09/02/2021 - 11:00am | Lois Richter

KDRT_Hosley-composite-trimmed.png

David Hosley had led a very full life. Lois could have interviewed him about many many different things and filled up a show -- his long media career (starting at age 12!), being a renowned investigative reporter, teaching at various colleges and universities, UC administration, managing LOTS of radio and tv stations, producing six documentaries, training journalists in ethics, heading non-profits, talking about the history of migration into California and the challenges of life in the San Joaquin valley, and sharing thoughts on community, economy, social assumptions, and why people work after retirement. As I say, we COULD have filled up an hour on any of those. Instead, because we met working together on a project of the Davis Genealogy Club, we started with family history and went from there.

So how do I know all those other things about David Hosley? We actually touch on them all during this show! Jam-packed and fully loaded, this episode is definitely a keeper.

The Capeman is a musical play with music by Paul Simon, and book and lyrics by Simon and Derek Walcott, based on the life of convicted murderer Salvador Agrón. The play opened at the Marquis Theatre in 1998 to poor reviews and ran for 68 performances. A blend of doo-wop, gospel, and Latin music, it received Tony Award nominations for Best Original Score, Best Orchestrations and Best Scenic Design. Renoly Santiago received a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Featured Performer in a Musical. Ednita Nazario won the Theater World Award for her performance.

The Folk Brothers for Sept. 1, 2021: Musical happenings at Ruhstaller Farm

Wed, 09/01/2021 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

cravens.png

In the first half of the show, we featured new music from Watchhouse, I See Hawks In LA, Big Red Machine and Dean Owens, as well as a classic track from The Young Tradition. The morality tale "Lyke Wake Dirge" is the subject of the most recent episode of the innovative podcast "Old Tunes Fresh Takes."

Then we spoke with Joe and Pamela Gregg Craven about their efforts to help (re)foster community through the musical events they have been organizing at Ruhstaller, a new hop farm in Dixon. Currently the Cravens are bringing music to Ruhstaller on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays -- see the farm's upcoming events.
