From the publisher
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 of Bats, bats, and more bats -- with Corky Quirk (4/5/18)
Corky's back! To talk to us about bats, bats, and more bats! -- primarily the Mexican Free-tail Bat which is so plentiful under the I-80 freeway at the causeway. Size, shape, habit -- all the things that one can know about these insect-devouring friends -- that's what Corky Quirk has for us today. And then there are the mysteries that scientists still haven't learns. The crack in the attached image is less than 2 inches wide.
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.

Starting about 15 into this weeks show, Lois interviewed Mark Blake, the owner of Blake's Heating and Air Conditioning. Lois asks him about how extremely hot weather affects the efficacy of your A/C, how to maintain your system to cost you the least, and operate the best. Listen to learn and enjoy!
