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

MaryLou Anderson aka M.L. Edson ...Thu, 03/23/2017 - 2:05pm | Lois RichterOn this episode of "That’s Life" hosted by Lois Richter, we meet MaryLou Anderson, a local artist and writer with whom Lois became acquainted at the Davis Art Center. They met while Lois was admiring MaryLou’s glasswork and got to talking; and here they continue their conversation with us on KDRT. Lois and MaryLou cover a lot of ground — from MaryLou’s pen name (M.L. Edson) to the chemical properties of dichroic glass — there is a lot to learn. |
Mike Pesola and Lois on "Ministry"Thu, 03/16/2017 - 2:05pm | Lois RichterMike Pesola, former KDRT host and owner of Bedrock Construction, is also a religious man. Upon occasion, his church has called him to minster to the congregation by preaching a sermon. On today's show, Lois and Mike discuss what 'ministry' means to each of them and how they prepare to speak. Although their styles of speaking are different (one planned ahead, the other inspired in the moment) and their organiizations (Baptist church and Quaker meeting) have different structures; both agree that sharing one's inspiration with others is both important and challenging. Mike observed that the very best form of ministry is LIVING YOUR LIFE in the manner you feel you should. Lois agrees that actions often speak louder than words. How do you express your spirituality? What form does your 'ministry' take?

swinging again!Thu, 01/19/2017 - 2:05pm | Lois RichterToday I played more swing music from the 30s and 40s. My dear husband had digitized many old records onto CDs -- so that my Mom could listen to them even tho she had lost much of her vision and couldn't operate a record player any more. We ended up with 4 CDs, but none of the standard info about the songs. (So I can't tell you title, artist, or even album/single.) So let's just enjoy the music ... |
