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.

Davisville, Oct. 23, 2017: For fundraising week, a backstage look at 3 public affairs shows

Mon, 10/23/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

IMG_1009 (1).jpg

It's fundraising week, so I dedicated this week's program to a discussion among three of KDRT's public-affairs program hosts -- Gitane (right), Lois Richter, and yours truly -- on where they (we) get ideas, what makes a good show, and the spirit of community radio, which can range from ramshackle to polished. Lois co-hosts the Davis Garden Show with Don Shor, plus hosts her own program That's Life. Dr. G hosts Heart to Heart -- and among other things tonight, explains why she can't really give advice on air to people in Davis who might otherwise call with their problems. As she says, microphones are better now than they used to be. Even if a guest with a problem were never named, Davis is still small enough that their voice might be recognized.

Our New Antenna Is Up - Your Feedback From Quick Survey Is Requested

Thu, 10/19/2017 - 12:26am | Diane Crumley

FB_IMG_1507179072684.jpg

News flash  - our new antenna is up and running, and now we ask you to let us know how we are sounding.  This short survey will take less than a minute and will give us valuable information about how well the signal is carrying throughout Davis. 

We are very grateful to all the listeners who helped us last year with our first Listener Survey where about 40% reported fair to poor or variable signal reception.  We expect to see an improvement this time around now that the new and improved antenna has been installed, so please take a moment to let us know. 

Thank you!  Link to https://kdrt.org/fall2017survey

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 Listening Lyrics Friday, October 6, 2017 at 4:00PM

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
