WGXC-90.7 FM
WGXC Afternoon Show: Caroline Preziosi
90.7-FM in NY's Upper Hudson Valley and wgxc.org/listen everywhere
http://www.wgxc.org/
Hosted by Kieran Riley (Monday), Pastor Kim Singletary (1st, 3rd Tuesday), Randall Martin (2nd, 4th Tuesday), Tom DePietro and Selha Graham (Thursday), and a rotating collection of hosts (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday)
Gregory Whitehead is in conversation with Wave Farm Radio Arts Writing Fellow Caroline Preziosi, live from WGXC's Catskill Studio. The Arts Writing Fellow is a critic and/or curator who will produce an essay about selected Wave Farm artists-in-residence work, including artist interviews. In this newly established Fellowship opportunity, Preziosi will consider the work of past residents whose projects implicate questions of climate change and human responsibility through intimate studies of biodiverse habitats, weather forecasting, insects, and machines. Preziosi's essay will explore possibilities of transmission as translation–between image and sound, between human and non-human language—in order to create bridges between ourselves and our precarious environment.
Caroline Preziosi is a writer, artist, and educator in Baltimore, MD and Callicoon, NY. She works in language, photography, sound, and installation. She has a BA in Writing from Johns Hopkins University, an MFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and serves as a board member with ENGN Civic Creative Center, a 501(c)3 educational non-profit in NY.
Tune in “WGXC Afternoon Show” for local news; interviews with community leaders and personalities; reports on cultural issues; a rundown of public meetings, local, and regional events; with weather updates and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC. The show begins each day with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events.
The "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run with Saturday’s emphasis being on radio art and art on the radio and Sunday’s show is called "Li Le, Li Tan," which focuses on promoting Haitian language, music, arts, and culture.
Segments featured on the show include "Better Weather” on weekdays produced by the Catskill Makers Syndicate, "Las Brujas Bilingues" produced by Arielle and Gloria, "Food Segment" by Tepper B.T., "The Ag Report" by Brendan Donegan, and "Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley” hosted by Jean Thomas and Tim Kennelty, and produced by the Master Gardeners of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Greene and Columbia counties with science-based information about gardening and all things nature in New York's Hudson Valley. Also featured are the segments "Specific Objects: Talks on Art in the Catskills" hosted by Miriam Atkin, "Cool Katts: Some cat-tastic and meow-mazing music" by DJs Electro Kitty and Meow Meow Kitty, "The Conduction Series," and the quarterly "Shaker Show" produced by Shaker Museum.
Tune in for previews of upcoming interesting events in the Hudson Valley with "The Month Ahead with Chosen Family Zine" from Mike Amari, an event organizer for Opus 40, Basilica, and others; and Liam Singer; the owner of The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY and a member of Wave Farm's Board of Directors. And for previews of agriculture-related events, tune in "The Month Ahead at Cornell Cooperative Extension with Deven Connolly."
Also featured are movie updates from Jenny Ghetti and Amanda Lees from their show "Dim The Lights" as well as interviews by hosts of the "WGXC Morning Show," Justin Maiman from his "Ginger Radio Hour," and other WGXC shows.
Philip Grant and Tom Roe bring you the weekly "WGXC Congressional Report," with reports about the representatives and candidates of New York's 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Congressional Districts on Mondays, and Tom Roe also cuts up local and national news with songs and sounds for the show.
Some reports come from our partner station, WOOC-LP in Troy, out of The Sanctuary for Independent Media. 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.
