"Davis Garden Show"

Don Shor & Lois Richter co-host, Thursdays@Noon

Don Shor and Lois Richter talk about gardening every Thursday at Noon on the low-power FM station, KDRT (K-dirt). This series is also known as Gardening West of the Causeway -- the location of Davis, California, in relation to Sacramento -- because it grew out of a local television series by that name. (The DCTV series, usually cablecasted Mondays at 9:00 pm, has Lois Richter as host with Don Shor as expert guest.)

"Davis Garden Show" provides plant tips and patter from a dynamite duo.

"That's Life" — interviews by Lois Richter (newest at top)

15 December 2005 thru 27 January 2006: These shows cannot be podcast because they were all commercial music - - mostly Hawaiian and oldies.

8 December 2005: Dr. Mark Helmus, an optometrist in Davis, answers all Lois' questions about eyes. What are the various opt---professionals? Why can some people see better near and others better far? What is dyslexia? Astigmatism? Can any of those things be fixed? What diseases of the eye are common? Can they be prevented? How does our eye change as we age? What techniques to help us see better or longer are being researched now? This hour-long interview is packed full of interesting information - - and a few laughs.

1 December 2005: Birding expert Mary Schiedt tells up about participating in the "Christmas Bird Count" (CBC), a national research project which has gone on for over 100 years. The Yolo Audubon Society is seeking volunteers to help with its one-day event to count all the birds in a particular area - - the same area is counted each year so that researchers will have good comparison data. Our 'count circle' is near Winters, and dozens of Davis residents turn out to help. Other CBCs in Northern California happen on other days.

24 November 2005 = station closed for Thanksgiving (prior show repeated)

17 November 2005 = short intro, then repeat of 13 October 2005 [Guest cancelled at the last minute.]

10 November 2005: Birding in Davis in the winter is my favorite sport! Setting up a feeding station for our winter visitors is easy - - and so rewarding. Did you know some birds migrate up-and-down instead of north-and-south? It's true! Lois shares some tips for attracting wintering birds to the backyard, and tell us what we might expect to see there. She also describe how to get to nearby locations where we can see the swans, geese, ibis, and many other shorebirds and waterfowl that 'winter' here in Yolo County.

27 October 2005: Lois interviews Sarah Cohen, an actor/performer who graduated from UCDavis. She and Lois met during the California Governor's Recall Election where they both worked at the same polling place. Sarah is now performing her one-woman show, "Shakeaspeare on Request", at the Davis Art Center and the Palms Playhouse.

13 October 2005: Lois interviews Autumn Labbe-Renault, organizers of the "LPFM Radio Roundup" hosted October 8-9 by KDRT (101.5 FM) in Davis, California. [This is only the interview portion of the show, because we do not have licensing for Internet distribution of this commercial music ~~ lots of Hawaiian drumming and singing.]

26 May 2005, my first show of current series! — This recording includes the tail end of the preceding timeslot with Don Shor. (Unfortunaltely, the station was not regularly capturing shows at that time, so this is a poor quality recording captured off a noisy radio.)
