## History

From 2003 to 2020, the show aired in the Sacramento Valley region of California as part of the freeform radio station KDVS, which is broadcast from the University of California at Davis (it was, and still is, one of the station's longest running programs). The show went on hiatus from 2015 to 2016, with edited reruns and occasional new interviews. It was also a part of the lineup at KZFR in Chico, California from 2008 to 2021, and has from time to time aired on other stations in California and Indiana. The show has been available as a podcast since 2005.
