That's Life

  Heidi Pidcoke. A Quaker, psychotherapist, teacher, and ... In all, a very interesting person.  

  What's related to what?  It's complicated. Producing the KDRT radio progam "Jazz After Dark", our own Don Shor knows a lot about jazz and its roots.  Also about some of the spin-offs that have happened over time.  But after talking to him today Lois came away a little dizzy.  It seems that each individual jazz player/ singer/ artist can add whatever flavor they want to their improv in the middle...

  Today on That's Life:  KDRT's Preacher One of our great producers here at KDRT is Preacher.  He gives the world his "Praise Time with Preacher" every week (Tu@4pm, Sun@7am).  Featuring gospel music in the broadest sense -- that is, songs that inspire and uplift -- his show is well worth podcasting so you can hear those sweet sounds anytime at all! Although Preacher is a long-time radio host, thi...

  History!  It's all HISTORY !!  (Family history, that is.)  Lisa Henderson is a dynamo!  She is always very busy, yet never too busy to help if help is needed.  Lois and Lisa have worked together on many genealogy activities -- Davis Genealogy Club presentations (and now zoom meetings), the DGC website, the International German Genealogy Conference (IGGC) in 2019, and other events. We have also s...

[Broadcast 10/19 & 10/26/2023.]   Kevin Hall managed the volunteer team taking the 2020 US Census in our area.  Here's the inside scoop on how it got done. In addition to census-work, Kevin is a budding author and will [soon?] publish his book under the name " Kevin Ross Hall " -- because it turns out "Kevin Hall", "Kevin Ross", and "K.R. Hall" are already in professional use.  We talked about his...

[Broadcast 10/5/2023 and 10/12/2023.] Grace Garden is a wonderful community resource created by neighbors to help neighbors.  The garden is located at the Davis United Methodist Church at 1610 Anderson Road and is run by many, many volunteers.  Starting in 2009 with a weedy back yard, this garden has blossomed and grown into a  thriving year-round place to feed not only the body but also the mind...

[Broadcast on 9/7/2023, 9/14/2023, 9/21/2023.]   Sara Jolena is a Quaker, a  spiritual person, a speaker, a leader, and she's witchie. What is eco-spiritualism?  What does history have to do with climate change? How are you and I connected?   Today Sara and Lois talk about all those things and more.  Sara lives in New York but travels to many places to speak and inspire. This month, she is leading...

On 19 March, we replayed a recent interview with Sue Torgeson about GENEALOGY -- aka Family History.  Today "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 res...
