WGXC Morning Show: Jessica Pino-Goodspeed, David Bond, Antonio Delgado, Daphne Jordan, Kamal Johnson (Audio)
Today: Tune in for excerpts from Rep. Antonio Delgado, State Senator Daphne Jordan, and Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson, at Johnson's state of the city online event March 17 that was broadcast live on WGXC. Plus, the COVID crisis has prevented many students from attending school in person, resulting in a dramatic drop in participation in school meal programs. WOOC's Mark Dunlea talks with Jessica Pino-Goodspeed of Hunger Solutions New York about next steps for child nutrition programs in New York. Plus, on March 17, community members and researchers responded to NY DEC's release of soil and water analysis surrounding the Norlite hazardous waste incinerator in a letter to DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. The letter rejects DEC's conclusion that the study found no connection between Norlite and contamination in the surrounding community. For more, Dr. David Bond, lead author of the letter, speaks with WOOC's Alexis Goldsmith.
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.
