The Camphill Media Group interview WGXC's Jared Widjeskog, host of "The Sugar Shack Jukebox" at noon Fridays on 90.7-FM, on their "Live By Life" segment. Jared Widjeskog was born and raised in Stuyvesant in Columbia County and from an early age, he has had a passion for music and DJing (something he does in his spare time). He has worked for CoArc and is now with Camphill Hudson. Widjeskog is a family man and hosts a music show on WGXC called "The Sugar Shack Jukebox." Check out this interview, which is a life story of Jared Widjeskog. Interview by Kelly McCaughan, Matthew Harrington, Rachel Shulman, and Michael Hoy. This interview airs around 4:15 p.m.
Joining Tom Roe in the Acra studio during the 5 o'clock hour is Otto Ohle, an artist based in Catskill who recently opened Nonchalant, an art space in Cairo, NY.
Plus, the "WGXC Congressional Report" tracks recent news, votes, speeches, fundraising, and more from representatives and candidates in the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Congressional Districts.
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.
