Without doubt, he's always been a very left of center host.  Glenn is correct.  It's been over 5 years, at least, since I've heard the program, and it's pretty much identical to days of old.  One could improve things by rotating some of the reports for certain!   Walt

Not under my radar, but I consider it NOT a SW Report, since as pointed out, clips are not recorded from real SW broadcasts, tho may have been long ago when it started. He has almost the same favorite stations over and over in a rut, as you can see from the program notes for the past month: always Cuba; Sputnik (Never a SW station by any stretch), Japan, Germany, Spain. As long as SW is not really the medium, he could pull in a lot of more exotic outlets. Does not qualify as a DX program.

This one apparently has been flying under my (and possibly your) radar. There is a weekly half hour program called “The Shortwave Report” produced by an organization called Outfar Press based in California. It consists of selected news reports recorded from a shortwave radio. The segments I heard via WSLR, a community station in Sarasota FL, appeared to be recorded off the Internet. Nonetheless, they all were from the same international broadcasters we all recognize as such. Dan Roberts, the host of the program, also provides information about each station, including frequencies and web sites. It claims to have over 100 affiliates — likely all LPFM community stations like WSLR — but no list is provided. He also states that the program is produced “off the grid” using solar power. Here’s the program’s website:
