Musicals! On Audio Ecotone, Feb. 14, 2025

Fri, 02/14/2025 - 11:27am | Eddy Owt

fred_and_cyd.jpg

In the 1930s and 1940s, musicals provided a weary world a little bit of respite and reminders of joy to help revive and recharge the spirit. Sadly and incomprehensibly, this is needed again. On this Valentine's Day,  my valentine to you, faithful Audio Ecotone listeners, is a little bit of escapism, with favorite selections from musicals from the 1920s to 1980s as well as a surprise appearance by the Nicholas Brothers! Listen live at 3 p.m. Pacific on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis or online at kdrt.org. The show replays at 6 p.m. on Saturday and 7 a.m. on Tuesday, and is archived for two weeks at https://kdrt.org/program/audio-ecotone.

For more show and music announcements, follow me on Bluesky at @eddy-owt.bsky.social.

Davisville, Feb. 3, 2025: ‘NextGen Talks’ host Jazmin Garcia brims with enthusiasm

Mon, 02/03/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

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.
