WGXC Morning Show: Peter Schoenberger (Audio)

Mar 28, 2023

Mayuko Fujino from her "Beakuency" show, speaks with Peter Schoenberger, an experienced birder and bird photographer in Woodstock, Ulster County. We don’t know in which stage of life we get the call. Peter started birding at the age 43, and his journey with the birds reminds us that life takes a mysterious path and inspires us to let the call guide our way. The interview took place in the Great Vly, a 184-acre wetland located in Saugerties, on the border of Ulster and Greene Counties.

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.
