Classical Excursions

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Get yourself settled and turn off your phone, we're raising the curtain on our latest year-end movie show with Davis film critic Derrick Bang. We talk about the effects of this year's writers’ and actors’ strikes, streaming, some of the best and worst movies of 2023, and films he’s looking forward to — or not — during the next several weeks.

Derrick writes for the Davis Enterprise and his blog Derrick Bang on Film (the photo shows Derrick lurking behind a laptop displaying his blog).

Liane Moody and the many facets of STEAC, on Imagining Yolo Davis, Nov. 17, 2023

Fri, 11/17/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

LOGO IMAGINING YD.jpg

Today we sit down with Liane Moody, the executive director of the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, who explains the three areas -- rent, food and bills -- where this Davis nonprofit helps our neighbors who need short-term assistance. This wonderful organization could not function without its many volunteers.

For example, here's more about its Food Project, whose mission is to help STEAC's food pantry "have a steady, reliable source of non-perishable food year-round by collecting food from community members every other month. While food drives are an invaluable and critical source of food, they provide only about 30 to 40% of our needs, and we often run short between these events."
