WGXC Morning Show: Deven Connolly, WGXC Congressional Report, Wreckless Eric (Audio)

Jul 25, 2023

Deven Connolly, Cornell Cooperative Extension for Columbia and Greene Counties Communications Manager, returns with his monthly segment covering the CCE events and activities planned for the month ahead. Plus, tune in the WGXC Congressional Report, with news from the past week for the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Congressional Districts. And, the recent announcement that Dr. Cornel West will seek the Green Party nomination for President has generated a lot of media attention. And push back from Democratic Party leaders who argue that it will detract from the need to defeat Donald Trump. Peter LaVenia, co-chair of the Green Party of NYS, talks with WOOC's Mark Dunlea about the Green's plans for 2024. And tune in for new music from Catskill's Wreckless Eric.

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.
