IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Praise Time with Preacher

Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm
Replays Thursday 11pm-Friday 12am, Sunday 7-8am

Davisville, Oct. 30, 2023: Oobli, part of Davis food-tech evolution, sees sweet future in sweet proteins

Mon, 10/30/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Oobli sign, Cousteau Place, Davis.JPG

Today’s Davisville involves Davis, food, the invention of new food products, and potentially good news for the environment, depending on how this idea develops.

The topic is sweet proteins, a sugar alternative probably new to most of us, and Oobli, a Davis company using these proteins to create sweet teas and chocolates that just went on the market. Our guest is the company’s co-founder and chief technology officer, Jason Ryder. He also teaches at UC Berkeley, where he earned a PhD in chemical engineering.

'Is It Alive? Tracks' brings out its annual Halloween show

Fri, 10/27/2023 - 8:51am | kdrtradio

Jack at the door.png

Dead Tracks.

It's Alive! It’s Alive! It’s Alive! Tracks.

Live Tracks That Head Off Into the Snow and Inexplicably Vanish.

It’s difficult to come up with a proper title for this week’s Live Tracks, the KDRT program nearly as old as that derelict house in the woods that has been empty for decades but where a faint light sometimes flickers in the attic window after midnight.

Songs, skits, Vincent Price recordings, atmospheric sounds ... as host Jim says, it’s one heck of a Halloween program. “Turn out the lights and grab a recreational beverage. A lava lamp is sweet, also.”
