WGXC's Kieran Riley speaks with Claudia Nagy, Founder and Director of EAT Co-Op in Catskill, about the founding of EAT, what it does, and food resiliency. And tune in for the debut of The Chosen Family segment previewing interesting local events in August. Mike Amari (local event organizer for Opus 40, Basilica Hudson, and others) and Liam Singer (owner of The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY and also a member of Wave Farm’s Board of Directors) bring you selected highlights from this month’s “Show Paper” in the Chosen Family Zine and point out some of the features in this month's print edition. Plus, tune in the WGXC Congressional Report, with the latest news from the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Congressional Districts. And, Brian Knauer has been painting for almost his entire life, concentrating on oil painting since 1995. He's a tremendous artist and also my friend. He recently moved his primary studio from Brooklyn to the Catskills. He chats with WGXC's Justin Maiman about his daily painting practice and listen to a playlist of tracks that he blasts while he works in his studio.

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.
