WGXC's Rob Gelles speaks with Jennifer Allard and Elizabeth Sheffer-Winig about the connection between the town of New Lebanon and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt in the June edition of "Rob Around the County." And, the Low Embodied Carbon Concrete Leadership Act claims that it will require state agencies to factor climate impact into concrete purchases. Barbara Heinzen of the Clean Air Coalition of Greater Ravena and Coeymans explains that the bill opens the door to waste incineration and promotes carbon capture technology. The Governor has not said whether he will sign the bill. Plus, Eileen Venn has been part of the Capital Region's chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction since 2008 when she and her husband bought an HVACC company called Mechanical Testing Inc. Sally Becker from WOOC spoke with Venn about her career, barriers for women in construction, and more.

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.
