That's Life

Lois Richter’s format for That’s Life is mostly interviews. Recurring topics include Davis activities and groups; work and life choices; philosophy and theory; plus birding, cooking, art, and other passions. Lois occasionally breaks into music — from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii to golden oldies rock 'n' roll — but mostly there is just talk.

To suggest a topic for discussion or a person to interview, text Lois or leave a message in the comments here.

Laura Legacki from Yolo CASA, on Imagining Yolo-Davis, March 3, 2023

Fri, 03/03/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Laura Legacki discusses the benefits of volunteering within the Yolo CASA organization. Laura, a long-time volunteer and training director at the nonprofit, shares stories about the bond formed with the foster child, and explains what is required of volunteers and the training they receive.

From Yolo CASA: "The heart of our program is the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), a specially trained and supervised community volunteer appointed by the judge. Research shows that just one consistent, stable, and healthy relationship significantly improves adult outcomes for foster children."

Beth Post here: Today I'm fulfilling a long-held dream of sharing a favorite "soundtrack of my life" album on KDRT's Album of the Week.

Thanks, Pieter Pastoor, for letting me cycle in.

We're playing Disc 2: "After Hours" of Chillin' at the Playboy Mansion. This album is the soundtrack to the Post family's annual North Fork of Long Island end-of-summer vacay, and just hearing the needle drop on this thing is like a month of therapy and a week at the spa.
