NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl-
http://npaper-wehaa.com/boulder-weekly/2015/03/26/#?article=2478097
This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, Radio Havana Cuba, Spanish National Radio, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Sputnik Radio.
From JAPAN- The Japanese Foreign Minister says that world leaders should visit the cities hit by US atomic bombs to increase the push to disarmament and non-proliferation. Americans were polled to see their attitude toward Japan and about the use of atomic bombs in 1945. 90 Japanese political leaders joined a protest against the relocation of a US military base within the Okinawa prefecture. US Defense Secretary Carter says the US is opening a new phase of its military shift toward the Asia Pacific region.
From CUBA- A US official said that the State Department is expected to recommend that Cuba be removed from the list of states that sponsor terrorism. Venezuelan President Maduro said the Summit of the Americas will mark a new era in Latin American/US ties- he is also expected to hand President Obama 9 million Venezuelan signatures demanding the repeal of his Executive Order against the country. Mexican political parties are beginning their campaigns for June 7th elections while the country is undergoing social and political crises. The Zapatista group in Mexico is questioning the effectiveness of marches and elections in correcting the current social catastrophes.
From SPAIN- The Spanish government has been arresting political activists and anarchists and charging them with terrorism, under newly defined laws intended to cease political opposition.
From GERMANY- Greece told the IMF that it will make its payments on its debt, and Greece still wants reparations from Germany for the Nazi occupation. Several stories on the meetings between Greece and Russia which may lead to a new gas pipeline to Europe through Greece, despite EU sanctions against Russia over Ukraine. A number of Gulf countries are pushing for a UN resolution on the fighting in Yemen while the US has increased weapons to the Saudi led attacks- Iran denies backing the Houthi rebels. Ukraine President Poroshenko has suggested a referendum on the decentralization of power in the country. Egypt has begun a retrial of former President Mubarak and his sons for diverting public funds. The French far-right National Front Party has undergone a complete split in leadership.
From RUSSIA- The Russian government says that NATO plans to deploy forces in Romania. Greece and Russia are experiencing a "New Spring" in relations. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is stalling over US food practices and the lack of regulations.

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.
TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
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)
