Dear Radio Friend,

quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- An update on the earthquake in China, including aftershocks
that destroyed 420,000 homes and dangerous lakes that were formed in the
shifting mountains. International aid workers have been finally allowed to
help in the cyclone ravaged country of Myanmar. Russia says it will take
counter measures in response to US plans to install a third missile defense
site in Europe. Chinese and Taiwanese leaders had a historical meeting in
Beijing, vowing to work to ease tensions across the straits. Nepal has
officially become a federal democratic republic, ending a 240 year
monarchy.
>From NETHERLANDS- An interview with Paul Watson, a founder of
Greenpeace and the Sea Shepherd, talking about direct political action. A
press report on the development of an ultraviolet method of ridding hospitals
of Superbugs, also known as MRSAs. A press report on a crackdown on
squatters in the Netherlands.
>From CUBA- More protesting Palestinians were wounded this week, and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu arrived to investigate killings from 2006. Striking
teachers are back on the streets of Oaxaca and in Mexico City. A Chilean
judge has ordered the arrest of over one hundred secret police for crimes
committed during the reign of Augusto Pinochet. New figures show a
dramatic increase in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder among American
troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
>From RUSSIA- A former US National Security advisor says that the Bush
administration is provoking Iran into developing nuclear weapons. A
commentary on US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates statements that
Guantanamo Bay prison cannot be closed. The US Congress has agreed to
fund public relations campaigns to boost the US image abroad.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available
at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the
last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just
want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower
sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-
speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow
connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will
play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime,
iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- Freak Radio Santa Cruz
now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from or iTunes
(search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at
And Radio For Peace International at
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am
still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into
this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting
this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so
through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!
