Thursday Nov 22nd, 2007 4:50 PM
A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a
shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files-
broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China,
Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia.
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (November 23) 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)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- The EU and some developing nations will participate in a
global climate change association to fight against natural disaster. ASEAN,
the Association of SouthEast Asian Nations, had its charter signed- it is a
rules-based legal entity for the region like the EU. China's lunar orbiter had
made 158 orbits around the moon by Tuesday afternoon. Tony Blair as
international envoy announced 4 projects to aid Palestine. Venezuelan
President Chavez visited Iran and expressed support for Iran's right to
develop nuclear energy.
>From NETHERLANDS- An analysis of the French strike which is a reaction
to President Sarkosy's plans to overhaul France's labor market, not just
change a few pension plans. 50 countries and organizations have been
invited to Middle East peace talks in Maryland next week- an analysis of the
chances for success at the conference.
>From CUBA- US government contracts for work in Iraq and Afghanistan
have more than doubled since 2004, with KBR getting almost half of the
money. A UN panel released a dire report on the progress of climate
change- next month there will be a conference in Bali to replace the Kyoto
Protocol with a Global Climate Change Treaty. The British newspaper The
Independent reported on the pollution levels produced by a US energy firm
that has strong support and ties to the Republican party. Plans to remove
land mines are being held up due to a lack of funding from first-world
nations.
>From RUSSIA- Russia and the US have agreed on plans to scrap large
amounts of weapons grade plutonium. In Kuwait, Colin Powell said that the
US population would not accept military intervention in Iran, since nuclear
weapon production is years away in Iran. Canada is rejecting some US
military personnel seeking refuge from what they consider an illegal war.
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 (PST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am and Monday at 5:30pm(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
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!
