WOOC's Dave Publow recently sat down with Dr. David Carpenter, Director of the Institute of Health and the Environment at SUNY Albany, to talk about how the DEC is handling testing for PFAS, dioxins, furans, heavy metals and other contaminants in the community around Norlite. The Cuomo Administration's delays in testing blood samples in a timely manner may serve to cover up detecting actual contamination, but will not halt its effects. And hear about guitarist Les Paul and his pirate radio history. The WGXC Morning Show is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC. The Catskill Makers Syndicate produce the "Better Weather" for the show. Rob Gelles produces the Columbia County history segment "Rob Around The County" and "This Month in History" for the show. Some reports come from our partner station, WOOC-LP in Troy, out of The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Tom Roe also cuts up local and national news with songs and sounds for the show. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC.
