Dierdre Wolownick, author of "The Sharp End of Life", shares her stories and introduces us to her son, Alex Honnold, who not only taught her to climb but is also the central figure in the recent award-winnig movie "Free Solo". This show will give you a feel for what modern climbing is like and help you know more about this fascinating woman. Dierdre climbed Yosemite's El Capitan when she was over 60; and is still going strong.

Davis is updating its General Plan, which is meant to guide Davis’ physical development as a community through 2050. The update is a classic, easy-to-overlook civic project that works better when more people know about it and add their ideas about what they want for Davis.
The Davis Community Action Network, a local nonprofit, has spent the last couple of years meeting with people in Davis and Yolo County to learn more about what they would like to see happen in Davis, particularly in the areas of housing and climate. The group summarized its work in “From Voice to Vision: Community Insights for Davis’ General Plan Update,” released a year ago. The housing question has been refreshed by the City Council’s decision last month to place the proposed 1,800-home Village Farms development on the June 2026 ballot.
Today we talk about what the report says with Judy Ennis, executive director of the network, and Jonathan London, a member of its board. |
