The Folk Brothers for April 19, 2023: 'Stolen From God'

English singer-songwriter Reg Meuross spent four years researching historical documents pertaining to Britain's slave trade of the 17th and 18th centuries. Although slave owning was outlawed, this didn't stop the wealthy -- particularly in Meuross's native southwest England -- from amassing tremendous amounts of profit, power, and influence through transporting slaves from Africa to the American colonies, with the explicit assistance of the British government and navy. The result of Meuross's efforts is a song-cycle of stories, Stolen From God, about unsung slaves caught up in the Transatlantic trade.

Timeout Radio_Cover(1400).jpg

Team Davis, college radio, foods that fuel the teenage athlete, chatbots, sports -- Rohan Baxi, a student at Da Vinci High in Davis, has produced shows on a range of subjects so far in 2023, with a style and approach that has already won him awards. He began his program in 2020, and you can find all 69 shows he has created so far at Timeout Radio.

Here's how he describes his latest episode:

"If you pass by UC Davis’ Toomey Field on spring weekends you’ll see a team of athletes engrossed in practicing their sprints, jumps, and throws. They are the track and field members of Team Davis, the Special Olympics team for Yolo County. Hear how Special Olympics started as a backyard summer camp and grew into a global movement that changed attitudes about ability and inclusion.

Davisville, April 17, 2023: You might not know this, but spiders are not out to get you

Mon, 04/17/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Emma Jochim and a coastal dune endemic trapdoor spider.jpeg

Emma Jochim, a PhD candidate in entomology at UC Davis, has a particular interest in trapdoor spiders, plus a knack for explaining arachnids in ways that make them seem less creepy to the public. She used those skills at a recent Bohart Museum of Entomology open house, and uses them again on today’s Davisville when we talk about spider myths. For example: Many people think poisonous brown recluse spiders exist in California, and they don’t. Nor do you ingest several spiders in your sleep each year.

Communicating accurate information to the public isn’t easy, and our conversation about that includes a post by a UC Riverside arachnologist frustrated by beliefs "solidly based on erroneous general consensus.”
