Lois Richter’s format for That’s Life is mostly interviews. Recurring topics include Davis activities and groups; work and life choices; philosophy and theory; plus birding, cooking, art, and other passions. Lois occasionally breaks into music — from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii to golden oldies rock 'n' roll — but mostly there is just talk. To suggest a topic for discussion or a person to interview, text Lois or leave a message in the comments here. Lois seldom (but occasionally) updates her other website.

    Replay from January 2019 - That's Tyler Lee!

    Who's Tyler Lee, you ask? He's a very nice young man who Lois met at KDRT when he and another fellow were alphabetizing vinyl records in our library.  Lois, of course, started chatting with Tyler and (not unusually) ended up asking him to come and be on the show.  And he agreed! This is a man with a wonderful story.  I hope you have as much fun listening to this show as we had making it.
