Esta semana, Las Brujas dedican este segmento a todas las hermosas rubias y rubios que existen! Con música de Blondie y del álbum Blonde de Frank Ocean. Plus, tune in for the WGXC Congressional Report. And the Farm Bill is a comprehensive package of legislation passed once every five years that has a direct impact on agriculture, food systems, and consumers. It is the single largest piece of legislation that Congress deals with. The Farm Bill covers programs ranging from crop insurance for farmers, subsidies for commodities, and conservation measures, as well as healthy food access for low-income families. It is where the funding for SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, comes from. WOOC's Mark Dunlea was joined by Emily Ledyard of Feeding New York State, which represents that state’s ten food banks, to talk about anti-hunger measures in the bill.

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.
