Host Lois Richter’s That’s Life new format is strictly interviews. Recurring topics include Davis activities and groups; work and life choices; philosophy and theory; and birding, cooking, art, and other passions. Lois occasionally breaks into music -- from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii -- but mostly we just talk.
If you want to suggestion a topic for discussion or a person to interview, send a text to Lois at 530-902-0209 or leave a message in the comments here.

That's Life for 1:00pm on Mar 14th, 2019Thu, 03/14/2019 - 2:10pm | Lois Richter |
Margaret pus macaron equals businessThu, 03/07/2019 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterHometown gal makes good! And makes good margaron! Margaret Waterhouse is the baker and seller of her dessert specialty -- the Margaron -- and the owner of her own two-year-old company, W. Margaron. The W. is for her surname (Waterhouse) and Margaron is a word she made up -- a merging of Margaret and macaron. |
That's GitaneThu, 02/28/2019 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterGitane is another talk show host here at KDRT. With her weekly program "Heart to Heart" (live Wenzdays at noon), she has been a mainstay of our station since it first opened. Listen today to hear about this facinating French woman and stories of how she came to be here and now. Growing up in French Canada, moving to the States, getting a PhD, being a professional when women were scarce in her field, hosting her own show for years on a commercial station in Florida (where she was known as "Dr G"), living in LOTS of places, and being involved in Davis for many years now. Her first name is Gitane. Her last name is Gitane. Her ONLY name is Gitane! (If I were to try and show the pronunciation, I'd probably write it as zhe-TAHN [the "G" is soft and the name rhymes with "on"].) |
That's Jesse SalinasThu, 02/21/2019 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterYolo County Assessor, Clerk-Recorder, and Registar of Voters. What a mouthful! But that is the offical title of Jesse Salinas, who is with us today to talk about elections. Although we do chat a bit about some of the problems with elections that are in the news from around the US, most of this hour is discussing how we do things in Yolo County (and in California) and why we AVOID all those problems! In addition to explaining how the current system works, Jesse tells us about new lows that will soon go into effect and what will change because of that. Whether you are a new voter and an old hand, here's the straight scoop about the why and how of voting. |

That's Tyler Lee!Thu, 01/24/2019 - 2:43pm | Lois RichterWho's Tyler Lee, you ask? This is a man with a wonderful story. I hope you have as much fun listening to this show as we had making it. |
That's Life for 1:00pm on Jan 17th, 2019Thu, 01/17/2019 - 2:05pm | Lois Richter |
Scott Love On AirThu, 01/10/2019 - 2:05pm | Lois Richter Speaking about the Yolo County Library in general and current programs in specific, Regional Supervisor Scott Love again joins Lois for an hour of talk. Printed books are not the only things at the Library these days. Digital books (that is, files you read on your own computer or tablet) have expanded the range of materials that libraries can offer by cutting down on the expenses associated with physical objects. No more staff time checking things out and in, no more reshelving, no more shipping books across the county, and no having to find more shelf space over the years. AND, since digital "e-books" are rented instead of purchased, the library can have a dozen copies of a very popular new book but then cut back the number of copies as requests for that title wanes.

That's Natural with Mary and LoisThu, 01/03/2019 - 2:05pm | Lois RichterMary Schiedt chats with Lois about birds and other natural topics. A casual, comfortable conversation. Nothing urgent here; just learning a little more each time we talk. |
