IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

A hint of techno, on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 5, 2025

Fri, 12/05/2025 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

94675327-EC83-4C11-B9E2-731E896ADBEE.png

This week on the show, we’re stirring things up with a playlist that carries just a hint of techno. Not a full dive into the club scene—more like the perfect recipe where a pinch of something unexpected transforms the whole dish. A subtle pulse here, a shimmering synth there… just enough to wake up your senses without stealing the spotlight.

So settle in, get comfortable, and let these rhythms sneak up on you in the best possible way. It’s a little familiar, a little futuristic, and absolutely worth the ride. Enjoy the mix.

Davisville, Dec. 1, 2025: The silver lining is the public’s response

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

STEAC Christmas project, 2021.JPG

It’s been a strange year for food relief, marked most recently by the sporadic suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aid during the federal government shutdown this fall. Today on Davisville we talk with two people deeply involved in different areas of Davis food relief: Liane Moody, executive director of the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, and Max Morgan from the Davis Night Market. They talk about what they’ve seen this year, the growing demand for food assistance, underlying causes, and short- and long-term ideas that could reduce the problem.

We talk about prospects for 2026. “The skeptic in me says, oh, this is going to keep getting worse,” Morgan says. “The one big optimistic point, which Liane [talks] about too, is the way the community has stepped up support as things have hit a whole another nadir. It’s really impressive.”

The photo shows food and gifts collected and given away during STEAC’s holiday program in 2021.

Andy Schmidt presents a journey of a playlist, on Listening Lyrics, Nov. 28, 2025

Fri, 11/28/2025 - 5:40pm | Pieter Pastoor

Andy copy.png

This week on Listening Lyrics, Andy Schmidt joined me in the KDRT studio to share a playlist that mirrors his life built on movement, curiosity, and craft.

Andy is a journey all by himself. An accomplished bassist, entrepreneur, avid bicyclist, master handyman, sail maker, kayak builder, storyteller—you name it, he’s probably done it, made it, or fixed it. Stepping into Andy’s world is like walking into a friendly windstorm: You just keep moving, lean into the energy, and enjoy the ride.

His playlist reflects that whirlwind spirit. Each track takes us somewhere new, offering a glimpse into the rhythm and momentum that fuel Andy’s life. If you’d like to see another side of his creativity, check out his custom bicycle basket and frame bags at Lords Luggage.
