90. Gear Up for Bike Racing

2024/02/27

On July 4th each year, packs of super-fast bicycles speed through downtown streets in the Davis Criterium. Hear how road racing got its start in 1868 in Paris to become a global sport that draws millions of spectators around the world. Heidi Verbeeck and Ray Spore, race team directors for the Davis Bike Club, tell us how their community of riders trains to stay physically and mentally fit. Then visit South Africa — home to the largest individually timed cycle race in the world, three capital cities, white rhinos, and blue wildebeest — and hear the story of its emergence from decades of racial segregation.

89. A Brief History of Soccer

2024/02/13

The sport known as soccer in the United States is called football in England. But the word soccer is actually British in origin. British historian and UC Berkeley history professor James Vernon tells us how the game was shaped by colonialism and capitalism to became the most popular sport in the world, the reason for its delayed entry into the United States, and why soccer fan culture can get so intense. Then explore the country of Uruguay — home to the first FIFA World Cup, the world's longest national anthem, a seriously loaded Chivito sandwich, and a day of the month dedicated to eating Gnocchi.

88. Birding for Beginners

2024/01/30

Birding is the hobby of observing birds in their natural habitats. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in the popularity of birding and with it grew a booming birding ecotourism industry. This interest in avian adventures could raise more awareness about biodiversity conservation and help preserve endangered species and bird habitats. Zane Pickus and Bart Wickel from Yolo Audubon Society tell us about how beginners can get into birding and how to learn more about our feathered friends. Then travel to Ecuador, the closest country to space in the world, home to 1,600 species of birds, and a city where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere.

87. GOOOOOOOL!

2024/01/16

The enthusiastic and prolonged goal call that goes on for a few seconds whenever a player scores is a fun part of watching soccer, especially if you’re watching Spanish or Portuguese-language commentators. Find out how play-by-play broadcasters develop their unique styles, build gripping storylines, and hold their audience's interest. Will Wyman, play-by-play announcer for UC Davis soccer on ESPN+ tells us about his path to sports broadcasting. Then visit Portugal—the oldest country in the world, and home to 500 miles of surfing coastline, piri piri sauce, and the first explorer to circle the earth.

86. Into the Urban Wild

2023/12/25

Walking in quiet urban settings with shade and greenery improves mood and reduces stress. Hear about the seven principles of Leave No Trace and how we can protect our urban nature preserves. Felicia Wang, restoration biologist at the 130-acre Cache Creek Nature Preserve, tells us how it was restored from a gravel mine, why native plants and cultural burns help our local ecology, and how you can sign up for their internships and public education programs. Then travel to Arizona, the Grand Canyon State — home to the largest urban preserve in the country, sky islands, towering 100-year-old saguaro cacti, and a remote area where mules still deliver mail.

85. Youth Soccer Scores

2023/12/12

The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) was a grassroots movement that got its start in California 60 years ago. Hear how it helped overcome lack of awareness and even prejudice about soccer in the United States, how it grew from 125 players into one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the country, and why orange slices were first passed out to players. Sam Conselman, longtime soccer player and Davis AYSO's registrar tells us how the organization gives kids a chance to experience the beautiful game of soccer. Then visit Torrance, the birthplace of AYSO, home to the 2nd largest Japanese population in the country, and check out its Pacific shoreline and 43-acre Madrona Marsh.

84. UC Davis Football 2023 Season Recap

2023/11/28

UC Davis football color analyst Scott Gordon returns to the show to recap a rollercoaster 2023 season which saw the Aggies finish with a 7-4 record (5-3 in the Big Sky Conference), but not good enough for an FCS Playoff bid. We discuss the controversy of the Ags not being selected in the 24-team playoff field by the FCS committee over certain teams for the second year in a row. We also look ahead to next season, with key offensive players Lan Larison and Miles Hastings leading the charge, and how the Aggies can start off faster in 2024.

83. Running on Empty

2023/11/07

Soccer demands a lot from your body. Hear about soccer pre-game routines such as the FIFA 11+ Dynamic Warmup which is easy to learn, takes only 20 minutes, and increases motor control and strength. Drs. Tammy Ng and Jake Petersen share ways to eat and hydrate for peak game day performance, how to handle eating for early morning practices when your stomach is still trying to wake up, and why athletes shouldn't wait until they are thirsty to drink water. Then visit Zurich, the Swiss city that is home to the FIFA Museum, Albert Einstein's alma mater, 1200 public drinking fountains, and the largest techno street party in Europe.

82. Zombie Apocalypse

2023/10/24

Zombies have been quite the phenomenon for decades. Find out why people are so fascinated with these ghoulish walking corpses and how their origin goes back to Creole traditions and religious customs brought to Haiti by enslaved people from West Africa. Maria Contreras Tebutt from the Bike Campaign tells us about the zombie apocalypse that rolls into Davis over Halloween weekend — the Zombie Bike Parade. Then travel to Haiti, the land of the mountains and home to the legend of the zombie, vodou, rhinoceros iguana, and djon-djon.

81. Why Pickleball is a Smash Hit

2023/10/10

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States. It does not involve any actual pickles and the goal is to hit a lightweight perforated ball back and forth with paddles over a low net, avoid "the kitchen", hit a "flapjack" when needed, and not get "pickled". Hear how pickleball got its start during a lazy summer 60 years ago, how it got its quirky name, and what led to its rapid spread over the last few years. Then visit the state of Washington, the birthplace of pickleball — and home to geoduck (which is not a duck), Hoopfest, gourmet coffee, volcanic peaks and glaciers, whales, and a legendary music scene.
