From CHINA- Two stories about the military tension between the Koreas, with China attempting to arrange a meeting with members of the six-party talks. Russian President Medvedev has warned that the failure of the US and Russia to reach a deal on missile defense will lead to an arms race. Venezuela is experiencing the worst floods on 40 years.

From NETHERLANDS- In Italy, students protesting educational cuts have brought major cities to a virtual standstill. A review of the impact on database security caused by the Wikileaks release of diplomatic documents- future releases will cover banking and the pharmaceutical industries.
From CUBA- Bradley Manning who leaked military documents to Wikileaks is facing increased demonization in the US. The government of Ecuador is inviting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to visit and give details of US spying in Latin America. A lawsuit against British Petroleum has been filed in Ecuador for violating the rights of nature. Amnesty International and 18 other aid organizations are demanding that Israel unconditionally lift the blockade on Gaza.
From RUSSIA- South Korea and the US will hold yet another military exercise in the Yellow Sea before the end of the year. Students in London and other cities in the UK clashed with police on Tuesday for the third time in three weeks to protest skyrocketing educational fees.
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 evening at 6:30pm (PST) 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)
Check out the amazing streams at
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)
