Davis citizens are a mobile bunch, and this means we sometimes have to say good-bye. We offer a fond farewell to DJ AA and Vincent with “Empire Radio,” who have moved on to the Bay Area. Ted and Josh of “The Recollection” are on hiatus at present but rumor has it they plan to return in January. Congratulations to Ted, who welcomed his first son this summer.
The good news here is that change is good, as it opens up new room and opportunities. We have quite a few new shows on KDRT, as well as some old favorites in new spaces. Check the list below to see what's airing on your community radio station, and to see the whole schedule, visit kdrt.org.
- Radha Lewis and the “Helping Phriendly Hour” are now on Sundays from 7-9 pm
- Jesse Drew and his Technocultural Studies students are on Tuesdays from 10:30-11:30 a.m. with “Technocult Radio”
- “Building Ideas” finds Kyle, Gunnar and Mike under one roof Tuesdays from 4-5 pm. Mike writes, “We are three guys with a lot of experience who have come together to discuss people’s concerns and answer questions regarding their homes—topics such as roof leaks, kitchen and bath remodels, dry rot, contracts, etc. We also endeavor to bring people together to discuss ideas, find solutions to problems with a common sense approach…without taking ourselves too seriously.” Tune in for some good advice and lots of banter.
