It's a post-solstice Compost Heap takeover, as Jess Goddésse fills in for Dug Deep to bring some Divine Intervention cheer to the airwaves. You'll hear a track or two from our Goddess of the Month (Ruth Copeland!), a back-by-popular-demand Vinyl Vespers spin (apologies in advance), and a bevy of Best of 2025 picks (with assists from Nick Saloman and Russ Tolman). Join us at 6 p.m. Pacific, right here on KDRT 95.7 fm + KDRT.org. Stream anytime via the web and the podcast apps. Happy winter! 

Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria evolve to withstand the medicines designed to kill them. About half the time that we use an antibiotic, it's not actually needed or is the wrong one for the job. That misuse is what's driving antibiotic resistance. Resistant infections lead to longer illnesses, hospital stays, higher costs, disabilities, and deaths. Facundo Jorro-Baron tells us about how a group of public hospitals he worked with changed their antibiotic prescription practices. Hear why the fight against antibiotic resistance deals with some resistance of its own. And like most resistance, it too is local.

Despite wind and rain and thunder and lightning and viruses, Santa still delivered his best gift for Boxing Day -- a live (via Zoom) interview with Nicole Laurenne, the dynamic leader of The Darts (U.S.) and femme fatale in her Black Viiolet alter ego. Nicole joined us for a lively discussion of her holiday visit, recent tour high- and lowlights, plans for 2026 and a badass selection of tunes that have influenced and inspired her over the years. And as a bonus gift, we had the World Broadcast Debut of Black Viiolet's cover of the holiday classic You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!  All of this while battling an unfortunate holiday virus. Many, many thanks to Nicole for (literally) sweating this out!
