This morning hear new music from regionally-based performers such as Jaded Azurites, Wet Tuna, and Fred Lonberg-Holm. Plus, the campaign to shut down the Norlite hazardous waste incinerator intensified on April 30 when several hundred people rallied at the Governor's Mansion to call on Kathy Hochul to shut down the facility. WOOC's Mark Dunlea was there to hear from Alexis Goldsmith of Lights Out Norlite; Poet D. Colin; Tasheca Medina of Equality for Troy; and Kriti Sharma of the RPI Sunrise Movement. And Rob Gelles runs down this month in 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.
