Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Alex Volzer joins David Abramson on Hello Davis! for a conversation about the health of Yolo County’s creeks, environmental challenges, and the future of climate restoration in our region.

Alex has completed his undergraduate studies and is currently pursuing a doctorate in human geography. The devastating wildfires in Lake County and Paradise helped shape his belief that environmental protection and economic development must go hand in hand. He advocates for sustainable solutions that reduce pollution, protect natural resources, and involve communities in open, democratic decision-making.

John Murrieta, a life beyond the accident, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 25, 2026

Fri, 09/25/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_6177.jpeg

John Murrieta shares his story today on Listening Lyrics, and we’ll use some of his own song selections to help tell it along the way.

Life can change in a moment—but that moment is never the whole story. A snowboarding accident changed the course of John’s life, but what followed is a story of adapting, moving forward, and building a life far larger than the wheelchair he uses.

And a quick heads-up—we had a hiccup at the beginning of the recording. Hang in there. In a funny way, it becomes the perfect prelude to John’s story: things happen. What matters is what you do next.

So, let’s meet John.
