This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio Netherlands, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- China will begin restricting the export of rare earth minerals next year. The US is charging the Chinese government with giving excess subsidies for its renewable energy products. Iranian planes are being refused fuel at some European airports. The US military has assembled 120 people to counteract the upcoming Wikileaks publication of 400,000 Iraq war documents.
From NETHERLANDS- The Netherlands new center-right government wants to ban tourists from using cannabis at Dutch coffeehouses.
From GERMANY- The British government has announced the biggest spending cuts since WW2, and there are threats of mass protests like in France. Meanwhile the protests in France have become quite violent and effective, and they are still supported by the majority of French citizens.
From CUBA- A Viewpoint on the presence of youth in the escalating protests taking over France- is this the beginning of a season of mass demonstration like the summer of 1968? The US government presents the deadly drone strikes in Pakistan as accurately targeted and effective- but data proves otherwise. The Obama administration will offer a $2 billion loan to Pakistan in the form of attack helicopters and other weapons- the UN has been asking the entire world to jointly send $2 billion for flood relief to Pakistan, but less than a third of that money has been raised.
From RUSSIA- A commentary on the CNN story that Ossama bin Laden is alive and well in Pakistan.

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 evening at 6:30pm (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)

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)
