In honor of Women's History Month, Rensselaer County Historian Kathy Sheehan spoke with WOOC's Melissa Bromley about some of the remarkable women who've lived in the county. And, touring around the capital region is a COVID-19 Tribute, a mural titled "Still Life, With Gratitude" by Rachel Baxter and paired with a poem by D-Colin with support from United Way. WOOC's Sina Basila Hickey visited the mural on location in Troy, NY before it continued its travels around the region until April 3. Plus, from people’s shopping habits to their attendance at political protests, private companies and governments are increasingly using surveillance technologies to track individuals and their data, often without the consent or knowledge of the person being watched and followed. WOOC's Natalie Meltzer speaks with Bonnie Fan, a member of coveillance, a collective which uses art, technology, and design to empower people to notice and counter surveillance in their daily lives.
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.
