WGXC host Mayuko Fukino interviews Mark Dedea of John Burroughs Natural History Society about their upcoming events in Ulster County. Plus, tune in an interview with WOOC's Andrea Cunliffe on her career in radio and theatre...and how it led her to the Criminal Justice field and "Alternatives to Violence" project. Cunliffe shares her thoughts on her initial Alternatives to Violence project training at Greene Correctional Facility and its impact on her by Marsha Lazarus. Also, VOCAL-NY builds power among low-income people directly impacted by HIV/AIDS, the drug war, mass incarceration, and homelessness. Their campaign against mass incarceration focuses on bills such as Daniel's Law; Repeal Prison Voting Reform; Ending Qualified Immunity; Elderly Parole; and, Challenging Wrongful Convictions. Nick Encalada-Malinowski discusses these issues as well as the ongoing fight over bail with WOOC's Mark Dunlea. www.vocal-ny.org/issues/mass-incarceration/

The "WGXC Afternoon Show" features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan." Tune in for 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. Interview segments from Justin Maiman are often heard on this show, as our movie updates from Jenny Ghetti and Amanda Lees. Interviews by hosts of the "WGXC Afternoon Show" also get played back here occasionally. And Jack Sencabaugh contributes the "Backtracks in Time" segment about local history. 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. The show begins each day with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events. Also tune in for national headlines from the Public News Service on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are also broadcast live here. WGXC is always looking for contributors who have an interesting idea for a recurring segment on either the "WGXC Morning Show" or the "WGXC Afternoon Show." Email your idea to info@wgxc.org.
