WGXC Morning Show: Ross Lazear, Andy Gonzalez (Audio)
The focus today is on online learning, as education and mental health experts, and students, discuss the problems and solutions. Ross Lazear (LAH-zeer), an instructor in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University of Albany, speaks about the difficulties students have with online learning. He believes that synchronous classes work best for the majority of students, so he can try and reach out to them all in class and talks with WOOC's Alexx Weihrich (WHY-rick). Then we hear from Columbia County mental health experts, and some Catskill students, talking about online learning on the "Drive Time" show March 10. In the second hour, Democratic candidate for the Catskill Board of Trustees Andy Gonzalez joins host Tom Roe in a live conversation about the issues facing the village of Catskill.
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.
