COVID-19 Community Report Episode 27: A Visit with Rev. Beth Banks from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis

Tue, 07/07/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-Rev-Beth-Banks-UUCD-BLM (2).jpg

I've interviewed nearly 50 people since I started this show in March. I've had two goals: provide important local and regional public health news, and weave together a narrative about how the pandemic is affecting people across Yolo County.

Ministers are called to provide pastoral care to others and even in the best of times, it's a heavy emotional lift. These are not the best of times, and I want to hear firsthand how one local church is coping. This week, I speak with Rev. Elizabeth "Beth" Banks, the senior minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis. We'll chat about the decision to close the church campus and remain closed at this time; the joys and challenges of church life on Zoom; the intersection of COVID-19 and social and political unrest, and how her faith views this moment in time. PC: Rev. Banks with Uniting for Racial Justice members, UU Church of Davis.

Davisville, July 6, 2020: Bang’s new books help bring once-popular crime jazz out of the shadows

Mon, 07/06/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Derrick Bang's crime spy jazz books.jpg

You’ve heard songs from this genre—if you’ve watched enough TV or old movies, you could probably hum at least a few (think Dragnet, Shaft or Mission: Impossible). But although crime and spy jazz produced iconic melodies, says Davis writer Derrick Bang, these days the style is largely dormant. Bang has written two new books, “Crime and Spy Jazz on Screen” (they cover 1950-70 and 1971-present), to help bring the music out of the shadows. On today's show we define crime jazz, talk about the way it draws your attention, sample two of its popular songs, and learn the value of a killer opening theme—and why the style faded. The movie Easy Rider was a factor, as was the growing number of commercials on TV.

Niall Woods "Nylophone" visits Listening Lyrics. Aired July 3, 2020

Thu, 07/02/2020 - 10:55am | Pieter Pastoor

Nylophone.jpg

Niall Woods (AKA Nylophone), who hails from Wicklow, Ireland, painstakingly tweaks his songs on a modest recording set-up at home before passing them on to a pro to have live drums mixed in and a few bells and whistles added. You can hear the influence of '60s artists such as The Beach Boys and Del Shannon in the neatly arranged bittersweet tunes that always clock in under 4 minutes, but more modern influences make the final result sound more akin to Ariel Pink. Nylophone's music typically features trickling guitar parts and layers of synth with catchy melancholic vocals on top. Bright melodies are contrasted with darker themes, or vice versa. Nylophone can also be found on Spotify and Facebook.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 26: Speaking with Dr. Koen Van Rompay - Virologist and Humanitarian - June 30, 2020

Tue, 06/30/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

koen.jpg

You can know someone for a while, and still not understand their depth and brilliance, or their contributions to the world.

I had the pleasure today of interviewing Dr. Koen Van Rompay, whom I first met many years ago when he attended a meeting of Soroptimist International of Davis to talk about his work with Sahaya International. Over time I learned about his groundbreaking work helping to develop and test the anti-viral drug Tenofovir, used in the prevention and treatment of HIV. He is a virologist at the California National Primate Research Center at UC Davis, with expertise in nonhuman primate models of viral infections, and is currently working toward a vaccine for coronavirus.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 25: Wherein I Turn the Tables - June 23, 2020

Tue, 06/23/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guests-Lois-and-Don-from KDRT (3).jpg

I got to turn the tables on some wonderful folks today, all while learning about the impacts of COVID-19 on their community involvement and professional work.

Guests Lois Richter and Don Shor are very familiar with speaking on the radio as the co-hosts of the "Davis Garden Show," which they've produced together for 15 years (Live on KDRT Thursdays at Noon PST). Today, they reversed their roles from "host to guest" and spoke about how they've been spending their time and creating their shows during the last 100 days of Shelter in Place (they are some of the KDRT hosts who have incorporated a variety of tools in order to record their shows from home). Don is also the owner of Redwood Barn Nursery, and talked about his experiences there.

Davisville, June 22, 2020: UC Davis’ top grad appreciates the power of a good story

Mon, 06/22/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Jumana_Esau_books_300.jpg

Each year, UC Davis chooses a graduating senior to receive its University Medal—effectively, the top student from a class that includes many thousands of accomplished students. Today we talk with 2020 medalist Jumana Esau, who grew up in the Bay Area and Jordan, about the award, why she studies climate fiction, the value of her English degree, her work for refugees, the practical power of a good story, and what she’ll take with her from Davis when she leaves.
