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.

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Lois occasionally breaks into music — from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii to golden oldies rock 'n' roll — but mostly there is just talk.

Tue, 01/09/2018 - 9:45am | Bill Buchanan

1111 h st 01 rendering jpeg.jpg

Homelessness is a top concern for Davis business owners and downtown residents. To the mix of ideas for addressing the problem, you can add a new idea that already has a location, design and backers – Paul’s Place, a combination of micro-apartments, transitional housing and services. It would replace the current resource center and transitional housing operated by Davis Community Meals and Housing at 1111 H St. Martha Teeter, president of Davis Opportunity Village, and Bill Pride, executive director of DCMH, talk about the project on today’s Davisville. Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak is the designer. A fund-raising campaign to raise the cost through private donations is in the works.

Davisville, Dec. 11, 2017: Retirements in 2018 will bring changes to the Davis Enterprise

Mon, 12/11/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bruce Gallaudet Dec 2017.jpg

When Bruce Gallaudet announced he was retiring as sports editor of the Davis Enterprise, I took the occasion to ask him to come on the show. He has had an eclectic career, and knows more stories than we could ever get to. Halfway through the interview he said his wife, Debbie Davis, has also decided to retire from the Enterprise on March 2, and that’s major news in Davis—she has been editor of the paper since taking over from Bruce in the early 1980s. Today's interview ended up in two halves. The first part is about sports, why it can produce such good journalism, and the large personalities it attracts. The second part is about changes in community journalism, the state of the Enterprise, the plan he and Debbie have to move to the San Francisco Peninsula after they retire, and more.
