Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (May 15) 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- China has marked the first anniversary of a devastating
earthquake in Sichuan province where nearly 90,000 people died. A report
on restoration in the damaged areas. China has been reelected to the
United Nations Human Rights Council. Nepal's President has ordered the
Parliament to elect a new Prime Minister. Fidel Castro asserted that the
Mexican government covered up the H1N1 flu until after the US President
had visited. The United Nations has condemned the killing of thousands of
civilians in Sri Lanka. The Afghan government maintains that US led forces
killed over 100 civilians in air strikes in Western Afghanistan. The Pakistan
army is stepping up its attacks on Taliban in northwest Pakistan, sending
800,000 refugees fleeing.
>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 [at] rnw.nl or send them a letter to
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The
Netherlands.
An interview with a radio broadcaster from the Swat Valley in Pakistan, who
says that the army attacks are just making support for the militants stronger.
Muslim women in Denmark will be forced to remove their veils to travel on
buses. Purchasing cannabis in parts of the Netherlands is about to get
harder.
>From CUBA- More than 10,000 facilities in Cuba utilize photovoltaic solar
panels for energy. Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay say that abuse by guards
has continued under President Obama. Afghan President Karzai has
renewed his call to end US air strikes in his country, saying that they are not
effective at ending terrorism.
>From RUSSIA- The opposition to the government of Georgia is growing and
demanding early elections. A commentary on the US government dismissing
the US military commander in Afghanistan.
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 <
feed://http://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=o
utFarpress+presents > 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!
