And in the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment from Julia Joern, a visit with Ray Adamski, proprietor of the Hodge Podge Shop. Located near Catskill Creek right on Main Street in Leeds, his place is just like it sounds. It's a classic mom and pop shop -- only much, much bigger -- that's jam-packed with everything and the kitchen sink: eclectic antiques and collectables, vintage furniture and historic housewares, funky lamps and chandeliers, old records and magazines from bygone eras, you name it. Ray started out working in Hollywood, sourcing period props to fit film scripts. He still works with the local film industry, most notably on Ang Lee's 'Taking Woodstock' (2009), as well as set decorators and stylists. But his shop is truly beloved by everyday hunters and gatherers who enjoy scouring flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores for unique recycled and repurposed finds. And Dawn Brownson, Clermont Town Historian, is interviewed by Rob Gelles, on his "Rob Around the County" segment on Columbia County history. Plus, a conversation from Cheryl K with saxophonist and composer Dan Blake and drummer Jeff Williams. Blake’s new release, Da Fé on Sunnyside Records, is an outgrowth of his own activism and pays tribute to the spiritual leaders and political activists who have offered him hope while adding his own voice to the chorus of those crying out for solutions. Blake’s quartet performs at live at The Falcon March 28.

The 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 Wednesday show calls itself the "Drive-Time Show" and Sunday's is "Li Le, Le Tan."
