In the Key of Folk

In the Key of Folk with Karen Leyse offers music that will keep you humming or dancing along — perhaps both! The focus is on traditional and current folk music, Americana, and bluegrass, with Celtic, Nordic, and Spanish infusions — wherever Karen's travels and interests take her. In addition, the music of contra dance, an American Folk tradition that came with English and other settlers, will often be threaded through the hour. Don’t know it? Check it out.

Davisville, May 18, 2026: Adding homes in Davis that more young families could afford

Mon, 05/18/2026 - 5:00pm | Bill Buchanan

Anderson, looking north 051426.jpeg

Today on Davisville we talk with two of the five people who recently wrote “A Long-Term Pragmatic Plan for a Livable and Sustainable Davis.” Don’t let the dry title dissuade you — the article is clear, light on jargon, usefully specific, and all about Davis. Their ideas include developing denser homes along transit corridors in Davis, including along Anderson Road (pictured), over several decades.

Alex Achimore, an architect and urban planner, and Richard McCann, an environmental policy consultant, talk about the ideas, methods and reasons behind their approach on today’s program, including what they mean by density — think more along the lines of townhomes, duplexes and stacked flats, not apartment towers.

After an incredible week-plus of fundraising, DJ Jojo Johanssen returns on Sonic Rehab to the format he never departed from, bringing you an eclectic assortment of tasty goodies. Watch for a mellow start with music from Röyksopp and Peter Frampton, some amazing '80s one-hitters not one-hitters, plus a barn-burner of a finish to get you geared up for another week. If the last half hour doesn't get your blood moving, you might need to check in to the mortuary. YIKES! Check out the amazing wildness this Monday, May 18, from 1-3 p.m. on KDRT 95.7fm or  kdrt.org. You can also listen back to this and other shows broadcast from the last two weeks on kdrt.org.
