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 (January 9) 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- The Premier of China has called for equal access to education for all citizens. China has banned internet search engines that lead to pornographic websites. The US inaugurated the largest embassy on this planet in Bagdad. On Wednesday Israel decided to continue its war on Gaza despite international pressure for a ceasefire. The Lebanese Prime Minister described Israeli actions as "war crimes." An Israeli bombing of a UN run school in Gaza killed 46 and injured over 150. The League of Arab States condemned Israeli actions in Gaza, while the US Ambassador said any ceasefire must be permanent.
From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave broadcasts to North America. The decision is based on their surveys that find very few listeners in N America. If you ever listen to RN on shortwave, please let them know- by email to letters@rnw.nl or send them a letter to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The Netherlands.
Two reports on the Gaza situation- first an Egyptian discusses Israel's call for international troops on the border of Egypt and Palestine. Then an interview with a Hamas supporter on the war. India's Prime Minister accused Pakistani security agencies of involvement in the Mumbai terror attack, seriously raising tension between the nations.
From CUBA- Venezuela announced an "air bridge" to deliver medical supplies and food to the people of Gaza. A Viewpoint on Latin American relations in the year 2008- focusing on the control of their own resources and growing unity among the individual countries.
From RUSSIA- The delivery of Russian gas supplies to Europe has worsened because of a financial dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Then a commentary on international hopes for improved relations with the US under President Obama.
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 http://www.kzyx.org >
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.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from 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! (maybe a little)
