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 we just talk.
If you want 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 personal website. Check it out at: https://gotouring.com/

That's Juli PattenThu, 02/27/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterToday Lois is away, so guest host Beth Post interviews Juli Patten -- a Pastoral Intern at Davis Lutheran Church. Having been thru the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley (California), she is in Davis for a year to complete her study for ordained ministry. Since Juli is originally from Hawaii, she and Beth have LOTS to talk about! Juli is a retired school teacher, a mother, and a newlywed. Beth is the host of the internationally popular KDRT show "Na Mele O Hawai'i" and is sitting for Lois while she is getting retinal surgery. (Which, by the way, was successful and is being recovered from quite well.) |
That's Rocky Mountain HighThu, 02/20/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterA few of you were around in the 70s and 80s and knew John Denver. For you, here are some of his early songs. Some other listeners have never even HEARD of John Denver! For you, here is an introduction to one of the most influential singers of his time. I've included some history of John as well as some of his music. Today's songs are from his famous "Rocky Mountain High" album. (The CD was published by RCA, from recording of the 1972 album by BMG Music.) |
That's Genealogy in 2020Thu, 02/13/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterToday "Genealogy" means the same as "Family History". That is, discovering who your ancestors are, where they lived, and (hopefully) find stories to flesh out the bare bones of the past. Today Lois Richter and Sue Torguson suggest how to get started, where and how to organize your data, some resource ideas, and they share personal stories from their own explorations of years gone by. Featured are the local Davis Genealogy Club and the worldwide place to share your work FamilySearch.org/tree/ as well as regional and topical groups and clubs. |
That's Sweet Honey in the RockThu, 02/06/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterToday Lois begins with reminiscing about her former bookstore "(Davis Wo-Men's Books), the 1970s, being the Davis distributor of women's music (music made by and for women), the feminist movement, and groups that got started near here then. |
That's Davis Winter BirdingThu, 01/30/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterFresh off her wildly successful presentations at the UCD Arboretum -- "Birds: The Inside Scoop" and "Birds: Out and About" -- Lois was inspired to share some of the same info with you, her radio friends. |
That's Reba McEntireThu, 01/23/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterReba McEntire ... LOTS of Reba McEntire ... "Reba McEntire's Greatest Hits" and "Reba -- Greatest Hits, Volume Two" (both from1993). |
That's Margie Adam's Most Recent MusicThu, 01/16/2020 - 2:10pm | Lois RichterDo you know the music of Margie Adam? She is one of my favorite musicians! Singer -- songwriter -- pianist -- activist -- feminist ... the list keeps growing. Did you know that she lived in Davis in the 1970s? I had the pleasure of meeting her then, carrying her very first album in my store (Davis Wo/men's Book), and watching her career take off. She moved from Davis to the Bay Area long ago and toured for many years before changing gears in 2015 to do integrative counseling. Today' program featured pieces from her final two albums -- "Avalon" and "Portal" -- interspersed with remembrances. This is 'part 3' of this series.
