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.
Lois seldom (but occasionally) updates her other website. Check it out at https://BirdingWithLois.global

That's Green Green GREENThu, 07/16/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois RichterAnother colorful music show -- shades of GREEN! that is, green in the song or album title or the performer's name. Searched for "green", "emerald", "grass", and "hills". Got back songs ranging in time from the 1800s, 1940s, the '60s, '70s, and even the 22nd century! Some folk, some country, some jazz, and a bunch of rock. An eclectic mix from Lois' personal collection. Enjoy! |
That's Come And Stay MusicThu, 07/09/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois RichterSongs of homecoming and staying, travelling and returning. From the Civil War, the 1940s, the 1960s, and on up to modern times -- here's another selection of songs from my own collection. Fewer jazz/blues songs in this group; and more country. With (of course!) one by John Denver! This is the other half of my Coming and Going pair of shows. (This time I searched for: come, stay, home, travel, arrival, etcetera.) |
That's Going, Going, Gone MusicThu, 07/02/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois Richter"Okay, Lois; think of a topic for the next show. ... Or maybe a THEME? ... " Now that many folks are NOT coming and going, how about a show featuring music with those words? I looked thru my personal collection and found a great many songs by searching for 'coming', 'going', and similar words . TOO MANY songs, in fact, to fit into just one show. So here is "Going, Going, Gone" -- the first of my pair of Coming and Going shows. Lots of different albums, singers, and styles here -- including Lena Horne, The Beatles, John Denver -- and with song dates ranging thru the Civil War, the 1940s, '60s, '70s, and even some this century! Hope you enjoy this eclectic selection ... with love, Lois. |
That's City Business for NowThu, 06/25/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois RichterBob Bowen has been working for the City of Davis for over 40 years. In addition to his being in charge of Public Relations for the city, he is also a well-known historian of Davis. |
That's Fun At HomeThu, 06/18/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois RichterNow that most of us are staying at home most of the time, a group of friends -- Elizabeth, Lisa, Lois, and Marilee -- got together to chat and share "What We Do For Fun At Home". |
That's Repeating Kim Stanley RobinsonThu, 06/11/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterRepeat: "Kim Stanley Robinson Interview" -- originally aired last year, 10/31/2019 KDRT remains closed to live broadcasting, and the staff works remotely; so uploading new home-made shows is possible. But Lois missed the deadlline this week, and so folks heard this interview of a nationally-famous local author. Lois is still healthy.

That's April Birding AgainThu, 06/04/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterA repeat airing of the April 26th episode "That's Birding in April". Last week, I went and interviewed Mary Scheidt for a brand new "Birding in Summer" episode -- and it was GREAT! Unfortunately, the recording device stopped after a minute and all the rest of the interview was lost. DANG! I'll take another shot at that in a while, but that's why today 's episode is a repeat of the Spring Birding episode. **sigh** |
That's Spring AgainThu, 05/28/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois Richter
A repeat airing of the May 21st episode "That's Spring". I'm slow getting these from-home episodes recorded, edited, and sent to KDRT staff to be broadcast; so today is a repeat. More new programming in the future! Promise!! |
That's SPRING for youThu, 05/21/2020 - 1:00pm | Lois RichterThat's SPRING for you! Today I'm playing songs that have the word SPRING in the title -- or some spring month. This is another group pulled from my own iTunes library. Hope you enjoy these springy melodies! |
That's Repeating BLUE, part 2Thu, 05/14/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois Richter
Repeat: "Blue, part two"! -- originally aired last week, 5/7/2020 KDRT remains closed to live broadcasting, and the staff works remotely; so uploading new home-made shows is possible. But Lois missed the deadlline this week, and so folks heard that BLUE episode again. (Not a bad sound, just not NEW new.). Lois is still healthy.
