Hosted by Tom Roe in Acra, with contributions from many WGXC programmers.

In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern visits the historic river town of Coxsackie to chat with Justine Post, who together with her twin sister, Lia, owns Mansion + Reed General Store. Located right in the center of main street — and directly across from Reed Street Bottle Shop — their store opened in 2017 and was then renovated and revamped in 2021. It specializes in sourcing goods from New York state farms and local makers and offers everything from coffee, craft beer, bread, eggs, cheese, ice cream, pasture-raised meats, and plenty more. Recently featured in a Times Union article, "The general store revival: Hudson Valley general stores, a 19th-century mainstay, are once again vibrant community and food hubs," Mansion + Reed General Store consequently has also become an important part of Coxsackie's own downtown revival. Plus, hear new local music from Nelson Esposito Quintana.

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.
