This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, the Voice of Russia, and Spanish National Radio.

From GERMANY- Russian authorities have arrested and held Greenpeace activists protesting oil development in the Arctic, specifically the Barren Sea. An interview with Greenpeace spokespeople.
From CUBA- Ecuador is insisting that US oil company Chevron compensate the country and its residents for oil development damage. Bolivian President Morales called President Obama's UN address "cynical." Washington has rejected a Brazilian proposal to prohibit espionage activities..
From RUSSIA- First, sections of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's address to the UN. A quarter of the deaths from US drone strikes in Pakistan are civilians- the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has a naming project to bring this to public awareness.

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.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via http://www.kzyx.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)
