In the Key of Folk

In the Key of Folk with Karen Leyse offers music that will keep you humming or dancing along — perhaps both! The focus is on traditional and current folk music, Americana, and bluegrass, with Celtic, Nordic, and Spanish infusions — wherever Karen's travels and interests take her. In addition, the music of contra dance, an American Folk tradition that came with English and other settlers, will often be threaded through the hour. Don’t know it? Check it out.

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Sutter-Davis&YIIN (2).jpg

On Tuesday's Episode 11, we'll find out what it's like to run our community's largest health care provider in a conversation with Rachael McKinney, CEO of Sutter Davis Hospital. We'll also chat with David Lichtenhan, of Yolo Interfaith Immigration Network (YIIN), which recently launched the ApoYolo Project to support immigrant families in Yolo County during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We hear about the large-scale daily communication network that Sutter Davis Hospital is involved with, their infectious disease preparation timeline, and their ongoing adaptations to keep all safe and still be available to the community via their tele-medicine program and other resources available on their website.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 10: Talking with Yolo County Housing and Empower Yolo - April 17, 2020

Fri, 04/17/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Yolo-Co-Housing-Empower-Yolo.jpg

We've been shining a light this week on the ways our region is helping some of the most vulnerable of our residents. On Tuesday 4/14  we talked about food insecurity and mental health. Today we’re talking about public housing, and domestic violence. Not light topics, but still extremely important to address right now. While sheltering in place is hard on everyone, there are some situations it disproportionately exacerbates. My guests on Friday's show are Lisa Baker, CEO of Yolo County Housing, and Bridgette Guerra, Legal Advocate at Empower Yolo.

Davisville, April 13, 2020: Davis stores and restaurants cope with the pandemic

Mon, 04/13/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

temporarily closed 041120.jpg

Today I talk with Davis Enterprise retail business columnist Wendy Weitzel about how local restaurants and retailers are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss stories of struggle, creativity, and most of all uncertainty, plus thoughts about how retail might change even after the stay-at-home public health orders are lifted. She has written her Comings & Goings column for nearly 20 years and normally posts a new column every other week, but is writing weekly during the pandemic.

Tue, 04/07/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Episode-7-April-7 (2).jpg

For Episode 7, guests include Victor Lagunes, President of the Davis Teacher's Association, and Jesse Loren, Winters City Councilmember. We hear about how Davis teachers have been working hard behind-the-scenes as the Davis Joint Unified School District ramps up to launch online instruction next week, and also discuss the recent narrow passage of Measure G.

From Councilmember Loren, we hear how our neighbors to the west in Winters are faring as their small businesses, restaurants, wineries/breweries adapt to the shelter-in-place directive.  Several wonderful creative partnerships have evolved such as Yolo Food Bank getting delivery  support from the experienced Yolobus drivers, and a new "pick up" partnership between Steady Eddy's coffee and Turkcovich Family Winery, to name a few. 

Tune in live at noon on Tuesdays and Fridays at KDRT 95.7FM or here on kdrt.org, and catch replays Tuesdays and Fridays at 5 pm. and Sundays at noon.
