In the 4 p.m. hour, Tom Roe is joined over Zoom by composer and Guggenheim Fellow Ellen Fullman to talk about the upcoming installation and performance of her work "Elemental View," a work in six movements for her Long String Instrument and The Living Earth Show, at the EMPAC Concert Hall. The installation typically inhabits an industrial-sized space with 136 strings, precisely tuned and configured for this multi-movement piece. Fullman bows the instrument lengthwise with her fingertips while walking, playing multiple strings at once. To produce percussive sounds, Fullman designed and fabricated the box bow, shovelette, and shoveler, which play three, six, or nine strings at once. Also performing the work will be Travis Andrew and Andy Meyerson.

Joining Tom Roe over Zoom during the 5 p.m. hour are Rachael Elliott and Thomas Kozumplik of EK Duo, a bassoon and percussion duo, to talk about their upcoming show at Time & Space Limited in Hudson, NY on Monday, October 16th.

The "WGXC Afternoon Show" features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan." Tune in for 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. WGXC is always looking for contributors who have an interesting idea for a recurring segment on either the "WGXC Morning Show" or the "WGXC Afternoon Show." Email your idea to info@wgxc.org.
