The CRC is an educational and research organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey. Their museum and their permanent collection of living, nonreleasable raptors are open to public view on weekdays and Saturdays. CRC is affiliated with UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

No holiday for the wicked -- we'll be live as usual with another edition of Divine Intervention, starring the typical mix of rock, punk, pop, funk, junk...and, of course, Vinyl Vespers, our record-store bargain-bin feature -- if you can identify the image attached to this post, you can extrapolate to determine the artist (no, not a reasonable task). OK, enough of the heavily punctuated claptrap. Just tune in Monday, April 17, 7-9p PT for all the fun your ears can hold.

support kdrt

Please support the operation of KDRT-LP!

It takes quite a few George Washingtons, and maybe some Abe Lincolns to keep this ship afloat! And of course some Harriet Tubmans (can't come soon enough!) would really help!

If you listen to KDRT-LP, either online, or over the air, you know the work we put into providing quality programming, local voices, and educational perspectives you cannot hear anywhere else.

So tune in, especially through April 10 ! We know you have lots of choices in your daily auditory intake, and we heartily thank you for showing some love for KDRT-LP!

Go to kdrt.org/donate and we'll set you up right!

Davisville, April 10, 2017: Watching California, from Davis, for the NY Times

Mon, 04/10/2017 - 9:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Mike McPhate (1).jpg

Mike McPhate lives in Davis, where he writes and assembles stories about California for the online edition of The New York Times. Newsprint is fading as a format, but the Times is no longer just a newspaper. It remains one of the most influential news organizations in the United States, which means McPhate’s work helps to shape the way the country sees and understands California. Today's topics include the job, the “enemy of the people” media criticism from President Trump, how McPhate finds his stories, and why he chose Davis as a base.

dirk Hamilton to appear on KDRT

California raised Dirk Hamilton is our guest this week. I am really looking forward to this episode of Listening Lyrics as we dig into some of the lyrics of his songs. Dirk will appear at the Palms in Winters, CA Saturday April 15, 2017. You ca visit Dirk at www.dirkhamilton.com.

Dirk: “I began playing guitar and singing songs when I was 8 years old. I was writing stories and poems before that. I always thought of the two activities as completely different and separate -- writing was ‘serious’, playing and singing was ‘fun’. Then I discovered Dylan and learned that songs could be just as deep as the best poetry. It was an epiphany! At that moment I knew what I wanted to do with my life.”

At 15, Dirk wrote two more songs for another 45, this one under his own name. Both records were on the IKON label in Sacramento. “These two were stinkers too but after what seemed like a real long time, I began writing good songs and realized I’d done it! I had enjoyed myself into a real songwriter poet!”

Davisville, April 3, 2017: Five Things I’ve Learned About Journalism, Plus a Bonus

Mon, 04/03/2017 - 9:05pm | Bill Buchanan

presscards (1) copy.jpg

Today's program is a KDRT it's-fundraising-week-so-let's-do-something-different kind of show. Several years ago, a friend at UC Davis asked if I’d consider speaking to his class someday about what I’d learned as a reporter and editor during my newspaper days. I’ve never recorded that talk, but today’s show is based on my notes. So if you're interested in one community journalist's take on the trade, tune in. Among other things, you'll hear segments about what many people seem to really want from the media (“Protect me! Expose them!”); the day a Berkeley City Council member did me the favor of pointing out an obvious hole in a story I'd been proud of; and Ray Bradbury’s advice, when he spoke at Freeborn Hall in the early 1980s, about the best place to get advice when you're trying to figure out how to do something you love. As a news person, you get to talk to many people and learn from their experiences; I try to distill a little of that in today's program.
