 WSKG Radio adds 2 new programs in September!
weekend schedule changes
 NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t
Tell Me! airs Saturday mornings at 11, beginning Saturday,
September 6th.
For a wacky
and whip-smart approach to the week's news and newsmakers,
listen no further
than Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me!, the oddly
informative news quiz from NPR. During each fast-paced, irreverent
show, host Peter Sagal leads what might be characterized as the
news Olympics. Callers, panelists, and guests compete by answering
questions about the week's events, identifying impersonations,
filling in the blanks at lightening speed, sniffing out fake
news items, and deciphering limericks. Listeners vie for a chance
to win the most coveted prize in radio: having official judge
and scorekeeper Carl Kasell record the outgoing message on their
home answering machine. Many listeners have requested the program
over the last couple of years and WSKG is proud to present it
as part of our revamped weekend schedule.
 Out of Bounds with Tish Pearlman airs Sunday mornings
at 11:30, beginning Sunday, September 7th.
Out of Bounds was created, and is produced and hosted by Tish
Pearlman, a broadcast journalist originally from California and
now based in Ithaca, NY. The show features interviews with visionaries:
people living, working and thinking outside the mainstream. The
program takes on such diverse subjects as racism, breast cancer,
how to inspire young people, current social and political issues,
voting, lesbian and gay concerns, classical and popular music,
theatre, science, journalism, food, communication, and more.
The mission
of Out of Bounds is to move beyond the disrespectful ranting
and meanness
of current popular radio and to forge understanding
among people of diverse backgrounds. The subject matter serves
to redefine the “mainstream” and traditional boundaries,
while also enlightening, educating and inspiring listeners about
issues and concerns common to us all.

Tuesday,
September 2nd LIVE at 1:00 PM (rebroadcast at 7:00 PM)
Edward A. Dougherty is one of today’s most prolific poets
and an associate professor at Corning Community College. He gets
together with Bill Jaker to read “poetry of witness” from
his newest books, “The Luminous House”, “Pilgrimage
to a Gingko Tree” and “Part Darkness Part Breath”.
We'll also share poems sent in by listeners to WSKG.Radio@Gmail.com (please include your poem in the body of the message, not as
an attachment).
Tuesday, September 16th
Henry Nicols of Cooperstown was an unlikely representative of
people with AIDS. A Hemophiliac whose medical condition never
kept him away from a boy’s normal adventures, Henry’s
crusade for understanding people who were HIV+ began as an Eagle
Scout community project and carried him to national prominence.
His death in a vehicular accident at age 26 ended a life marked
with tragedy but also filled with youthful verve. Hank
Nicols has now written about his extraordinary son and his family in “Henry
for President”.
To join in the conversation on OFF THE PAGE call during the live
1:00 PM broadcast to 888/359-9754 or send an e-mail to WSKG.Radio@Gmail.com.
 Consolidation -- the
Perennial Question, September 29th & 30th
Public officials, business leaders, academic experts and members
of the public provide background and vision on the question of
government consolidation in Broome County.
Introductory
reports on MORNING EDITION and ALL THINGS CONSIDERED on Monday
and Tuesday, September 29th and 30th will give background
for a one-hour live interactive discussion on Tuesday
9/30 at 7:00 PM, hosted by WSKG's Bill Jaker.
