Davisville, Oct. 2, 2023: Meat is changing, and UC Davis is helping it to happen

Mon, 10/02/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

At a very simple level, we’re talking today about hamburgers, although the subject goes much deeper than that. Today’s show concerns food, taste, the environment, commerce, questions of how to feed the world — and it’s directly a Davis story, because the University of California at Davis is a national leader in this area of research, and their work is attracting food tech startups to the region. The subject is cultivated meat, or meat substitutes that barely exist beyond the lab for now, but should come eventually to a store or menu near you.

Our guests today are Denneal Jamison-McClung and Kara E. Leong. Kara is the executive director of the UC Davis Cultivated Meat Consortium; Denneal is the director of the UC Davis Biotechnology Program, and co-founded the consortium. They can help us understand what’s happening and why it matters.

Album of the Week, Sep. 27, 2023: Rising Sun Melodies by Ola Belle Reed

Today's Album of the Week compiles performances recorded in the 1970s by Ola Belle Reed. It's called Rising Sun Melodies.

From Smithsonian Folkways: "Ola Belle Reed was a trailblazing force for women in bluegrass music, an Appalachian woman of hard-earned talent and generous ways who delivered honest music sung from the heart. Her songs 'I've Endured,' 'High on the Mountain,' 'My Epitaph,' and many others forge real-life experiences into music steeled with determination, family tradition, and commanding presence.

"[These] classic tracks ... remind us why the light of Ola Belle's music shines brightly to this day."

Sara opens autumn with ‘Lux Prima’ on The Awesome Patrol Show

“I love the fall,” says Sara TAPS, host of The Awesome Patrol Show. “It inspires the best playlists from me, and I love being able to witness nature’s physical transition of the colors, of the leaves turning, because it means we’re almost done with another year and hopefully we’ve changed a little bit too -- and so maybe our landscape is looking a little more colorful, or maybe we’ve simplified and gone monochrome and we’re just like totally in this favorite hue of whatever we want to be, and be doing.”

Sara starts this week’s program with “Nox Lumina” from Lux Prima (the picture shows the album cover) by Karen O and Danger Mouse, “one of my favorite records, and from there, we’ll ride a roller-coaster of sound.”

‘He’s just a kid, but God can he play the piano’

Wed, 09/20/2023 - 8:54am | kdrtradio

Chico Hamilton Quintet, Aaron Diehl.png

3rd Streaming presents 20th and 21st century classical, jazz, and motion picture music, and DJ Gary Chew has songs from all of the genres on this week’s show.

He starts with songs from two musicians from different eras who were born this time of year — “I Want to Be Happy,” by the Chico Hamilton Quintet, recorded in 1955, followed by “Blue Nude” by Aaron Diehl, released in 2013. (The photo shows covers from their respective records.)

Hamilton would have turned 102 on Sept. 20, Gary says. Diehl was born on Sept. 22, 1985. “He’s just a kid, only 38 years old,” Gary says, “but God can he play the piano.”
