All you early Saturday morning risers may want to check out our latest sounds. At the recent Davis Music Fest the Americana/Folk music of Misner & Smith were enjoyed at the Odd Fellows Hall. Cuts from their most recent CD can be heard from 7-7:30 am on KDRT and streaming at KDRT.org. For more, go to www.misnerandsmith.com

We bid a fond farewell to Brett and CJ as they move on to ESPN...right? For the time being Le Show will fill the Friday 11am time slot; Rocket and Shortwave Report will cover our Saturday 8-9am time slot. But...we're really hoping the more sporting among us will apply to fill the big shoes that Brett and CJ have left in the studio. If so, please email info@kdrt.org for more information.

Audrey & OrwellAs Music Curator, I'm interested in getting more, high quality music on the station that could be under most radar screens. Recently, we got an email from Audrey & Orwell http://www.facebook.com/audreyandorwell. If you're an early Saturday riser...you're in luck...either way you can check out the sounds. If you have submissions, suggestions...please email info@kdrt.org and let the music play!
