At 4:15 p.m. tune in the latest Chosen Family segment previewing interesting local events in August. Mike Amari (local event organizer for Opus 40, Basilica Hudson, and others) and Liam Singer (owner of The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY and also a member of Wave Farm’s Board of Directors) are interviewed about this month’s “Show Paper” in the Chosen Family Zine and point out some of the features in this month's print edition.

In the 5 p.m. hour, we are pleased to present Blood Moon Project's "Oblique Subduction," the most recent composition for Radio Amnion: Sonic Transmissions of Care in Oceanic Space, which is a multi-year sound art project for the waters of Earth, organized by artist Jol Thoms.

Oblique Subduction by Blood Moon Project is a poly-temporal serenade to the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). There the 'Explorer', 'Gorda' and 'Juan de Fuca' plates converge and are thrust beneath the North American plate into Earth’s mantle. Blood Moon Project dropped into tectonic time to sit with 7700 years in the life of colossal movements and processes of the CSZ. They've compressed their human response into 7 minutes - a minute per millenia. At intervals that mirror the rate of their movements, the three artists each take on one voice for each of the three tectonic plates and reflect single tones back into the abyssal plain, one at a time. The three geo-human tones gradually converge to make chords that slowly push and grow into new chords, disintegrating, harmonizing, and at points tremoring into quakes and eruptions.

"Awe-struck by this primordial zone, we're honoured to have the opportunity to offer it an expression of our wonder. The first broadcast will be to the waters of the Celtic Sea at Cornwall - while the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment Telescope surfaces for renewal work - and once it and the Radio Amnion Sonic Platform are reinstalled in 2025 it will be broadcast again into the Cascadia Basin and to the Subduction Zone".

Radio Amnion commissions and relays new compositions by contemporary artists more than 2kms deep with/in the Pacific Ocean. During each full moon, far beyond human perception, the abyssal waters of Cascadia Basin resonate with the deep frequencies and voices of invited artists. All transmissions are relayed in the sea through a submerged neutrino telescope experiment’s calibration system and available at radioamnion.net during the three days of each full moon. Beginning February 2023, Wave Farm Radio and WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears will also broadcast each new composition.

Radio Amnion was initiated by artist and researcher Jol Thoms in 2019, submerged into the Ocean in 2020, and came to operation in June of 2021—all due to a remarkable invitation from Prof. Elisa Resconi of the SFB1258. Radio Amnion is a partnership with the SFB1258 Neutrino and Dark Matter Group at the Technical University of Munich and in collaboration with Ocean Networks Canada at University of Victoria, British Columbia, CA.

Also, Las Brujas dedicate their segment to all the beautiful blondes out there! Featuring music from Blondie and Frank Ocean's album Blonde. Esta semana, Las Brujas dedican este segmento a todas las hermosas rubias y rubios que existen! Con música de Blondie y del álbum Blonde de Frank Ocean. Plus, tune in for the WGXC Congressional Report.

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.
