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

Davisville, Sept. 25, 2017: Trying to steer away from the ditch

Mon, 09/25/2017 - 9:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Davis City Hall Sept 2017.jpg

Davis is headed for a ditch, financially, but doesn’t have to land there. Dan Carson, chair of the city’s Finance and Budget Commission, is one of several people in town who are trying to engage the rest of us in helping Davis make a few course corrections now, before we start going over the edge. Today on Davisville we talk about the problem, what caused it, what we can do about it, the forecast that describes what’s coming, and why most people in Davis aren’t paying attention. At least, not yet.
