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. Also, WGXC's Mayuko Fujino speaks with Laura Cannamela, a birder and artist based in Columbia County, from her "Beaukency" radio show. Cannamela's handcrafted paper reliefs are informed by many sources, including Genji Monogatari, a novel from 11th century Japan, and natural elements such as topographic maps and waterfalls. Cannamela shares her inspirations, and how birding has led her to more environmentally friendly art practice. Her art show A Thousand Layers is on view through July 22, 2023 at The Hammond Museum in North Salem, New York. Plus, from the Master Gardeners of Columbia-Greene Cornell Cooperative Extension podcast "Nature Calls," a discussion of Merlin (Tools of the Trade with Joan Satterlee), a bird identification app developed by Cornell University. Plus, retired meteorologist Hugh Johnson spoke with WOOC's Alisha Washington and Brea Barthel about all this rain, lightning safety, and "air you can wear" in this week's weather report. And the WGXC Congressional Report tracks the news from the past week from the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Congressional Districts.

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.
