WDKX presents a broad local podcast feed built around health, family, and Rochester community life. It does not settle into one narrow interview lane. Instead, it moves across recurring show extensions such as Check Your Health, Parenting Tips with Dr. Glo, and Unwritten. The common thread is care. Check Your Health brings the most explicitly medical and civic focus, with Dr. Sean Nelms appearing as a regular presence who helps connect expert guests to everyday community concerns. Those conversations treat health as practical and shared, not abstract. Menopause becomes information that can help partners understand strain in a relationship. Addiction becomes a conversation about stress, marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, recovery resources, and how to approach someone who may need support. Other episodes point listeners toward cardiac health, colorectal cancer, diabetes, kids' eye care, home care, and teen suicide prevention. The tone is warm, but it can get serious quickly. Parenting Tips with Dr. Glo offers a more direct family-education track. It frames parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and foster parents as the adults children may lean on when life gets uncertain. Episodes return to teen mental health, structure, staying calm, healthy food and exercise habits, and the long influence of mothers, grandmothers, mentors, prayer, and compassion. These are not detached lectures. They are spoken from personal history, research, and a belief that household choices ripple into the next generation. Unwritten widens the emotional range. Andrea's conversation with Kiera Muhammad treats motherhood as creative, messy, sacred, and unfinished, with room for homeschooling logistics, postpartum reassurance, identity, and friendship. WDKX stands out because its advice keeps circling back to local trust. It pairs institutional voices from Rochester medicine and education with personal stories that make the lessons easier to carry home.
Made for: WDKX is for Rochester listeners and families who want health, parenting, and community topics explained in approachable language. It especially suits caregivers, parents, grandparents, and adults looking for practical guidance without clinical distance.
What sets it apart: The feed blends local public-health education with intimate family storytelling, so expert guidance and lived experience sit in the same room. Its Rochester focus gives broad wellness topics a specific community texture.
Welcome to WDKX, where we keep your finger on the pulse of Rochester. Here you'll find a variety of podcasts from show extensions to community interviews and more!
