Tune in for an interview with Hudson Valley-based musician Christopher Tignor, who performs May 5 at The Avalon Lounge in Catskill with Earthen Sea and Connor Armbruster. Also hear about how climate groups, teachers, students, faith leaders, and labor rallied on Saturday, April 28 outside the NYS United Teachers Annual Representative Assembly in Albany, calling on the union leadership to follow through on the numerous resolutions passed by teachers at the local, state and national level to divest the teachers’ pension funds from fossil fuels. We hear from retired arts teacher Mary Finneran; Schenectady High School Student Andy Ramnauth ; retired school staffperson and labor representative Candace Liden; and Alycia Bacon of Mothers out front.

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.
