 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- China condemned the murder of 4 oil field workers in Sudan. China has agreed to another round of talks with representatives of the Dalai Lama. The United Nations General Assembly almost unanimously passed a resolution telling the US to cease its unilateral embargo against Cuba. The World Wildlife Fund released a Living Planet Report, calling on all nations to change the ways they gather and use energy. Many nations, including Iran, condemned the US air attacks in Syria and Pakistan.
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.
The US military attack in Syria came as a great shock to everyone- the reasons and attempted justifications have not been stated by the US- here are two speculations on why the attack was carried out. University students from Amsterdam are in the US to observe election day in Ohio.
From CUBA- A Viewpoint on George Bush's failure to crush Cuba during his reign, and a survey of his friends in the anti-Castro mafia in the US.
From RUSSIA- Russia announced that it is willing to help all countries develop nuclear power, including uranium enrichment for peaceful uses. Members of the South American Common Market, Mercosur, met in Brazil to discuss the global financial crisis and call for major reforms to the international financial system.

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
There are several other streams that work better- 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)

And Radio For Peace International at

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)
