Local musician Rick Warren is interviewed by WGXC's Randall Martin. Also, tune in for a conversation with scholar, rhythmanalyst, and music artist DeForrest Brown, Jr., about the upcoming world premiere of his performance "Speakers That Speak To You" at The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performance Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. "Speakers That Speak To You" operates as a musical successor to the ideas in his recent publication "Assembling a Black Counter-Culture" (Primary Information, 2021) and also as a jumping off point for the artist's next album, a project that he anticipates to follow the forthcoming Fall 2023 release of Techxodus with his music label Planet Mu. And also, on April 25, the New York For all Coalition rallied at the Capitol in support of the New York For All Act, which prohibits local law enforcement and state agencies from working with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement – ICE – and Customs and Border Patrols. This WOOC report tunes in Cassie Bocanegra, of the NY Immigration Coalition; the main bill sponsors Assemblymember Karines Reyes; Senator Andrew Gounardes; Richard, a Nigerian with the Immigrant Defense Project; Luis Jiminez with Alianza Agricola; and Rosie Wanger of the Vera Institute of Justice.
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.
