Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (June 6) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast
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- First a roundup of news about last month's earthquake, which
has now claimed nearly 70,000 lives. China is upset over the annual US
State Department report on the development of human rights and
democracy. The IAEA is meeting to examine Iran's nuclear development
status and allegations that Syria had been working on a nuclear reactor.
>From NETHERLANDS- Oxfam released a report on the global food crisis,
calling for more monetary aid and agricultural assistance. A new wind
turbine park 10 km off the coast of Holland will provide 2 percent of Dutch
electricity. A Radio Netherlands reporter has returned from cyclone-
devastated Myanmar and describes the efficiency of aid distribution and the
status of the refugees.
>From CUBA- The United Nations Childrens Fund has praised the 111
nations that created a treaty banning cluster bombs. A Viewpoint on the
recent meeting in Colombia of the Organization of American States. The
Israeli government has announced another round of settlement construction
in the occupied territories. Tens of thousands of Iraqis protested ongoing
talks between the US military and the Iraqi government they installed.
Australia has ended combat operations in Iraq and a group wants former
Prime Minister Howard charged with war crimes.
>From RUSSIA- A report was released alleging that the US has secret
prisons on Naval ships mostly floating in the Indian Ocean. Czech citizens
and politicians are holding hunger strikes in protest of plans to install
components of the US anti-ballistic missile system in their country.
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!
