OUR PROGRAMS

Classical Excursions

Greg LaTraille

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 Friday 11am-1pm

Davisville, Oct. 9, 2017: Equifax might have screwed up, but you can do better

Mon, 10/09/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

cybercrime.jpg

Yahoo, Equifax … the major data breaches just keep on coming. Protecting your identity and information seems hopeless, but you can significantly improve your odds. Today we talk with Dewight Kramer, assistant chief information security officer for UC Davis, for context, practical ideas, the value of telling Congress about the reforms you want to see, and not falling prey to FUD -- fear, uncertainty, doubt.

Moody Slough visits KDRT

Moody Slough (Pronounced Moody Slooooo) is an acoustic-based project of original tunes. Joe Sanders appreciates more and more the sound of an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the simplicity it brings while writing a song. Over the years, music has always been his main focus.  When writting his music he didn't see these songs as the beginnings of a project. “Moody Slough” is just the name that he slapped on that project once I figured out that it could really be a project. Joe's ultimate dream is to one day be able to pay his rent and bills through playing music. 

For those outside the listening area this KDRT is streamed "live" at www.kdrt.org
