In the 4 p.m. hour, Jessica Chappe joins show host Kieran Riley to premiere her segment series Recipes for Belonging: Communities rooted in the Hudson Valley Region produced for WGXC. This first segment looks at Kite’s Nest, a center for liberatory education in Hudson, NY. Kite’s Nest’s programming is meant for young people to learn how to bring about personal transformation, social connection, healing, and systemic change through experiential education, the arts, meaningful job training, and civic action as tools for building community power.

In the 5 p.m. hour, Riley is joined by WGXC programmer Brendan Donegan to talk about the latest episode of his segment The Ag Report. This month, Donegan was in conversation with Christian Malsatski of the Cornell Cooperative Extension to find out how hay is made, used, and sold and why it matters at the supermarket.

The "WGXC Afternoon Show" features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan." Tune in for 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. WGXC is always looking for contributors who have an interesting idea for a recurring segment on either the "WGXC Morning Show" or the "WGXC Afternoon Show." Email your idea to info@wgxc.org.
