Dan Roberts | 29.04.2004 23:30 | Globalisation | World

A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion recorded from a shortwave radio. 2 files- broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quick download (3.3MB). With times and freqs for listening at home. Free to rebroadcast. Netherlands, Spain, Russia, China, and Cuba.

Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (April 30) is up at the website  http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (3.4MB) (29:00)

This week's show features stories from Radio Netherlands, Spanish National Radio, the Voice of Russia, China Radio International, and Radio Havana Cuba.
From Netherlands- The WTO has ruled against the US over subsidies for cotton growers- but the biggest subsidy for American Farmers is cheap energy. The US Supreme Court is considering the right of the government to hold US citizens indefinitely without charges, possibly the most important cases of human rights during wartime since the Japanese internment in the 1940's.
From Spain- 3 press reviews covering the Parliamentary debate in Spain concerning the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq, the former Prime Minister Aznar's disagreement, and the state of the war on Iraq.
From Russia- A commentary on the deaths of US and British soldiers in Iraq, and the concerns of the US government that the citizens might realize how devastating the invasion has become.
From China- Serious battles have erupted in Thailand and the fighting in Indonesia continues to escalate. The Asian Highway network is moving toward completion, linking Asia to Europe.
From Cuba- A former FBI translator was blocked from speaking to survivors and relatives of the 911 attack, the US government claiming it would be damaging to national security. A viewpoint on the escalation of the fighting in Iraq, a year after Bush claimed victory. Then a Viewpoint on Mexican President Fox's controversial privatization of natural gas, in conflict with the Mexican Constitution.

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 evening at 7pm 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 (96.3fm) now streams this program on Friday at 9:30am (PST)
Also check out LavaLamp Radio (Japan)-  http://www.radiolavalamp.org
streaming the SWR, check out the schedule.
And the Partytown streams are great and informative-  http://www.partytown.com/radio
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!
