WGXC Morning Show: Garrett McCarey, Hugh Johnson (Audio)

Jan 28, 2022

Garrett McCarey is passionate about eels. He spoke with WOOC's Sina Basila Hickey about the experience of eel sampling in the Poestenkill and about the wind turbine project that is putting their migratory safety at risk. And meteorologist Hugh Johnson gives us a weekly weather update which includes learning about how snow is formed. Cathy Silber and Caelan McPherson break it down to get a proper weather lesson.

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 produces the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment every Thursday. 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. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. 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.
