Continuing Troy Prep High School Media Club's interview series, Kaitlyn and Tayleese from WOOC have a conversation with Thomas Kearney of the Capital Region's Release Aging People in Prison Campaign - also known as RAPP. Plus, 380-plus groups have sent a petition to the Army Corps of Engineers (i.e., Biden) demanding they stop issuing permits for fossil fuel projects as being contrary to the public interest. Kassie Siegel, Director of the Climate Law Institute of the Center for Biological Diversity, discusses with WOOC's Mark Dunlea the petition as well as the Oct. 11-15 People vs. Fossil Fuels direct actions in DC.

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. Julia Joern produced the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment each week. The "WGXC Congressional Report" also airs here. 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. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are broadcast live here.
