Davisville, Dec. 11, 2017: Retirements in 2018 will bring changes to the Davis Enterprise

Mon, 12/11/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bruce Gallaudet Dec 2017.jpg

When Bruce Gallaudet announced he was retiring as sports editor of the Davis Enterprise, I took the occasion to ask him to come on the show. He has had an eclectic career, and knows more stories than we could ever get to. Halfway through the interview he said his wife, Debbie Davis, has also decided to retire from the Enterprise on March 2, and that’s major news in Davis—she has been editor of the paper since taking over from Bruce in the early 1980s. Today's interview ended up in two halves. The first part is about sports, why it can produce such good journalism, and the large personalities it attracts. The second part is about changes in community journalism, the state of the Enterprise, the plan he and Debbie have to move to the San Francisco Peninsula after they retire, and more.

Misner and Smith

KDRT will broadcast direct and live from Armadillo Music in Davis, CA, for 2nd Friday ArtAbout on December 8th. This month will be a real treat as one of the favorite duos in California perform. Soaring vocal harmonies and story-filled, poetic songwriting, Misner & Smith's sound harkens back to the bedrock of modern American rock and folk. Paying tribute to strong influences like Simon & Garfunkel, The Band, and Buffalo Springfield, they invent a sound all their own, seducing listeners with music that captures longing and belonging in the same moment. Their partnership in music is a search for meaning. The songs yearn for connection, ache for understanding, relish in mystery, and rejoice in creation. In a world that often feels to be crumbling down around us, they dig deep and find hope in simple things, in the beauty that surrounds us all.

Misner & Smith's latest release is Headwaters, a collection of covers. Please join us December 8th for the live broadcast from Armadillo, or if you're outside the listening area, please listen online at kdrt.org.

One Foundation: Curating Around Reggae

Wed, 11/29/2017 - 1:54pm | B. Hold

One Foundation, Wednesdays 4-5pm on KDRT

November 17, 2017

As Cam and I have been getting ready to start our program, One Foundation, people have been asking us, "So is this a reggae show?" Our answer: No and Yes.

No, in the sense that we'll be playing a wide variety of musical styles from around the globe, especially from the Caribbean, Latin America, and the diasporas of those regions throughout the world. Reggae might be the majority of what we play, but you could say we're "hardly strictly reggae."

Album of the Week for 11/29/2017 is "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen

Do you like loney? Do you like spare?

Join me as we listen to an album of what were recorded as demos at home by Bruce on a 4 track. It's just acoustic guitar, harmonica, and Bruce singing about the evil in this world. It is the perfect mid-winter album, but I'm doing it early because, well, it's getting dark far too early every day. And at least one person dies in almost every song; eleven in the opening track!

We'll be listening to a reissued vinyl that was released specifically for Record Store Day a couple of years ago that I picked-up at Armadillo. I look forward to you joining me.

Davisville, Nov. 27, 2017: Meet Anne Hance, if you don’t know her already

Mon, 11/27/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Anne Hance.jpg

If you’re interested in Davis, then Anne Hance is someone you should know, or at least know about. A zoologist by training, she grew up in England during World War II, came to Davis in 1968, co-founded and helped lead the Explorit Science Center for a third of a century … and those details are just part of the story. We talk about those topics, and much more, on today’s program.
