In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern visits Susan Baldaserini and Shai Kessler, the couple behind Reed Street Bottle Shop in Coxsackie. They founded their shop five years ago backed by a belief in sourcing wine, spirits, and ciders from small, independent, and regional producers, including some rare and hard-to-find bottles. Baldaserini also launched Pilothouse Paper, a tiny stationery and gift shop that is also located on Reed Street (the historic district's main street). Since opening both businesses, they have played a key part in this Hudson River town's retail revival. Plus, tune in for excerpts of the Town of Catskill Dec. 29 public hearing about cannabis.

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. Julia Joern produces the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment every Thursday. 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. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. 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.
