Davisville, Aug. 15, 2022: The Davis night sky can be magical in the summer

Mon, 08/15/2022 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

The night sky is one of the best parts of Davis during summer and early fall. Hot days yield to mild evenings that make it easy to spend time outdoors after sunset, and a bright moon on the horizon can feel elemental, inviting thoughts about subjects that go far beyond the daily routine.

On today’s program Vinita Domier from the Davis Astronomy Club talks about the attractions of the night sky. With the James Webb space telescope, humans can now see farther in space than ever. We also we hear from stargazers at two recent nighttime events where the club's members brought out their telescopes: one event in the Explorit Science Center parking lot, and the other at a Yolo Basin Foundation benefit held one Saturday night deep in the Yolo Bypass.

A play-by-play announcer provides a running commentary of a live sports broadcast. The best play-by-play announcers work to develop a voice, pace, and style that their audience recognizes as soon as they hear them. They have a deep understanding of their sport, are skilled entertainers, build interest in the play and the athletes, and create storylines that grip their listeners' interest. Down the causeway from Davis, the professional soccer team Sacramento Republic FC plays in the USL Championship. Their motto is Urbs Indomita (The Indomitable City) which is also the motto of the city of Sacramento. Meet Rob McAllister, Sacramento Republic FC's play-by-play announcer, and hear about his broadcasting career, the Republic's current season, and their magical U.S. Open Cup run.

Favorite songs and the power they evoke, on Listening Lyrics, Aug. 12, 2022

Fri, 08/12/2022 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Asking someone to select their top 20 songs is difficult, and picking just one is impossible. But that's what we have today: one favorite song from each of several people, along with the reasons it's their favorite. I left the genres open.

Music is a mystery that touches us on so many levels at so many different times. It can make us happy, sad, or melancholy. Or maybe we're drawn to the music itself, or to the lyrics; or for many of us a song offers a look back in time that allows us to relive a past moment.

On today's show, we play songs chosen by Karin Pastoor Husebosch, Carol Hess, Rod Rodriguez, Preacher, Ed Branam, John Caroll, Jeanne Pastoor, and me, Pieter Pastoor. Listen to the stories and be moved by the power of music.
