Times Union reporter Roger Hannigan Gilson is live in the WGXC Hudson studio, interviewed by Tom Roe. Gilson, who covers the Hudson Valley for the Times Union, is making regular Thursday morning appearances on WGXC to update listeners on the stories he is covering. And tune in the latest 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) are interviewed about this month’s “Show Paper” in the Chosen Family Zine and point out some of the features in this month's print edition.

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.
