Tune in for an interview with Don Krapf, Democratic candidate for Columbia County Sheriff, will discuss his campaign with WGXC's Randall Martin. And, Daniel Smith, who teaches at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, speaks about what the history of public health and medicine can teach us about the current coronavirus. He also shared his own personal experience of having his family infected with breakthrough COVID-19 (getting COVID-19 although fully vaccinated) and possible ways forward. Plus, in the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern visits with Marilla (Mars) Abrahamsen, founder of the Phoenix Web Collective, and volunteer, Helena Kaminski. Originally started as a pop-up in Prattsville, it is now housed in a storefront on Main Street in Hunter. A resource for the community, the Phoenix Web Collective is part free market, part creative space for artists and others. As a free store, it offers a range of useful locally-donated items, including clothing, back-to-school supplies, toys, home goods, small appliances, electronics, books, and more. The Phoenix Web Collective is also a place for hands-on DIY workshops and educational and skill-sharing events.

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 produced the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment each week. The "WGXC Congressional Report" also airs here. 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. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are broadcast live here.
