WGXC Afternoon Show: Robert and Johanna Titus, Aaron Parks (Audio)

Feb 24, 2023

Robert and Johanna Titus are collectively known as "The Catskills Geologist" and have been writing, conducting research, and walking the trails of the Catskill Mountains for decades. As they put the finishing touches on a book that links the Hudson River School of Art with its Ice Age origins, WGXC's Justin Maiman chats with them about all the innovative and engaging ways they've taught generations about the rocks and plants around the Hudson Valley. Also, Cheryl K has an interview with Dutchess County resident, pianist and composer Aaron Parks. Parks will perform at the Hudson Jazz Festival 2023 on Sat., Feb. 25, with vocalist Samantha Rise.

The 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."
