ABOUT US

KDRT 95.7 FM is grassroots radio from Davis, CA, airing an eclectic mix of music and public-affairs programming. A project of nonprofit Davis Media Access, KDRT streams worldwide via KDRT.org.

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Replays Sunday 9-11am

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

ad-04-13-2021.jpg

In this episode Ned and Clyde "celebrate" their 55th pandemic show produced from home in their typical upbeat, humorous, and slightly irreverent style. Additionally, they continue their highlighting of women musicians for Women's History Month (extended) and honor the passing of Davis' good cheer ambassador Cathy Speck. In his Davis Enterprise column of Sunday, April 11, 2021 Bob Dunning wrote a beautiful tribute to Cathy Speck, which said, in part, "Put simply, Cathy Speck is one of the greatest human beings God ever put on this Earth. She taught us love and compassion and true friendship". Ned and Clyde provide a tribute to end their show, and add that Cathy taught them strength and courage, as she spent her life promoting understanding, love, and acceptance, while working tirelessly for those who were discriminated against for being different.
