Today's featured guest is West Sacramento City Councilmember Martha Guerrero, who was elected in 2018 after having previously served on the city’s Planning Commission. She is running for mayor in the current election cycle.  We'll talk about the impacts of COVID-19 on West Sac, community resiliency, and economic recovery.  I reached out to her because she’s been a leading source for information about West Sacramento on the COVID-19 Yolo Response Facebook Page.

As Los Angeles County’s Legislative Representative in Sacramento, she has dedicated over 19 years in public service covering legislative strategy and advocacy, public administration, strategic planning, and legislative and budget analysis. Also a licensed clinical social worker, Martha has received a Commendation by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for her legislative leadership and dedication to foster children.

Tue, 08/04/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Vets-Memorial-Theater-BW (3).jpg

We’re doing a deep dive into local theatre arts today, and we’ll hear how one longtime community venue is working to survive and remain vital during the pandemic, and ready for whatever comes next.  My guest today is Joseph Fletcher, who is nearing his one year anniversary as the Theatre Manager for the City of Davis at the Veterans Memorial Theatre.  Joseph talks about a variety of projects that can be done during the pandemic including physical updates to the space and its equipment and increasing its capacity to provide tech support.  He also shares some of his visions for increasing the use of the space by community organizations and new creative partnerships, and recreating an original vision for the theatre as a "community hub".

Davisville, Aug. 3, 2020: Lake Berryessa is just part of a much larger, older story

Mon, 08/03/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

20200320-IMG_6274.jpg

The new book “Exploring the Berryessa Region / A Geology, Nature, and History Tour” makes clear that there’s much more to see and explore in the area west/northwest of Davis than the Lake Berryessa reservoir--from stunning views and the Hubcap Ranch, to the region’s cultural heritage and the features that make it a hot spot of biological diversity. On today’s Davisville we talk with co-author Marc Hoshovsky, a retired naturalist in Davis, about what’s up there, plus how and when to see it.

The name “katgrüvs” captures her innate feel for “grüv” and pocket, a trait steeped in years of playing in jazz, funk, and rock ensembles. A graduate from the University of California, Davis in Mechanical Engineering, she aspires to marry her lifelong passion for music with creative engineering.

DJ Rodriguez speaks with band member James Morgan on this week's special edition of Silver Nine Volt Heart. Stream here to listen to this episode https://kdrt.org/audio/sons-soul-revivers-featured-silver-nine-volt-hear...

“We definitely used the Pilgrim Jubilees as a blueprint for how the traditional gospel quartet sound should be,” explains James regarding their latest album. “We got a chance to see those guys (Jubilees) in 1977, and long story short, they blew us away."

KDRT Summer 2020 Update: Whether from Home Remotely or Live from Our Studio, Many Weekly Shows Are Back!

Mon, 07/27/2020 - 6:24pm | Diane Crumley

KDRT-fb-cover-banner-on-air (2).jpg

Starting mid-July, we’ve been able to bring back a number of KDRT programmers into the studio. This is accomplished with widely staggered air shifts and rigorous cleaning protocol. All shows can be heard live on KDRT 95.7 FM, and also streamed live at https://kdrt.org, where you can also find a schedule, program highlights, DJ contact info, or listen or download archived programs.

Here are some highlights:

• Sara TAPS is back with “The Awesome Patrol Show” Wednesdays 1-2 pm, highlighting the best of indie label music.

• “At Night I Fly” is an eight-part series with incarcerated poet Spoon Jackson about his life and poetry. In this series, Jackson dives into the complicated nature of being locked up and yet still growing. Producer Matthew Schneeman then dives into the same themes but on the outside -- connecting the two worlds. Jackson is in Solano State Prison. Show airs Sundays at noon.
