The Big Poppies in the studio, recorded Nov 2nd, 2018

Fri, 11/02/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

big poppies.jpg

This was EPIC.  The Big Poppies are one of northern California's favorite bands and were in the studio with us. (In the studio 2/3rd of the Big Poppies, Chris Preston and Max Van Dyke). Their music is contagious with a heavy influence of blues, rock and throw in a bit of funk. Their stage presence is electrifying. If that is not enough, all of the band members are spot on talented musicians. Influences include the likes of Vance Joy, Alabama Shakes, Gary Clark Jr., The Black Keys, Daft Punk, just to name a few. On this show we will focus in on their new CD release

Davisville, Oct. 29, 2018: This killer's story challenges law that says a 15-year-old should never be tried as an adult

Mon, 10/29/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Marsh hearing 2018.jpg

Daniel Marsh was a few weeks short of 16 when he murdered Mary Northup’s father Oliver “Chip” Northup Jr., and Chip's wife Claudia Maupin, in their Davis home in 2013. As Lauren Keene has written in the Davis Enterprise, "the brutality of [the killings] stunned seasoned law enforcement as well as the community at large." Marsh was convicted as an adult in 2014, but after voters approved a change in state law in 2016, Marsh won a Yolo court hearing that asked if he should now be transferred to the juvenile justice system. The transfer -- rejected by the court last week -- could have meant he’d be released at 25. On today’s program Mary Northup talks about the hearing, listening to Marsh in court, the change in California law that will soon forbid 15-year-olds from being tried as adults, and balancing rehabilitation against protecting the public.

The band offers a full rich sound that has a wonderful depth.

Davisville, Oct. 15, 2018: There’s plenty of conflict out there. How do we reduce it?

Mon, 10/15/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Kara Hunter.jpg

American life is full of conflict – political, social, economic, all types. Today’s guest is Kara Hunter, executive director of the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center, who knows a lot about the subject. We discuss the center, what it does in Davis, who uses it, the results they get, and also about conflict overall – including how she’d advise the Senate if she were given the task of resolving their conflicts in the wake of the Supreme Court Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.  “The first thing I’d ask all of them to do is stop talking,” she says, “and start listening to one another.”
