WGXC's Mayuko Fukino speaks with Anne Bloomfield, a field biologist at Hudson Valley Farm Hub in Ulster County, about their American Kestrel habitat management project, which developed strategies to empower hop farmers to incorporate bird-friendly practices. She also shares wisdom on optimism in environmental work, and how we each can bring our knowledge and expertise to the table, overcoming differences to get where we need to go. Plus, an interview with WOOC's Andrea Cunliffe on her career in radio and theatre...and how it led her to the Criminal Justice field and "Alternatives to Violence" project. Cunliffe shares her thoughts on her initial Alternatives to Violence project training at Greene Correctional Facility and its impact on her by Marsha Lazarus. And retired meteorologist Hugh Johnson joins us for our weekly look at climate issues and upcoming regional weather. He spoke with Brea Barthel and Alisha Washington about what a “cutoff low” is and why “graupel” might be in this week’s forecast for some areas.

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. 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. Saturdays the show features weekly episodes of the "I Have Seen Niagara" serial.
