Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (November 30) is up at the website
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- The European Left, or E.L., is a group of 29 political parties from around Europe- they are opposed to the US Missile Defense system and US military bases in their countries. China says that the 3 Gorges project has made cleaner energy available and improved the environment. The Chinese and French Presidents held talks in Beijing this week, agreeing to work together to combat climate change.
From NETHERLANDS- As the French president Sarkozy visited China, violent riots broke out in the suburbs of Paris. Kevin Rudd became the new Prime Minister of Australia in a landslide election, signaling a serious shift from the conservative policies of John Howard. In Canada, there have been large demonstrations and heated debate over the police use of tasers or stun guns, following several recent deaths.
From CUBA- Many Palestinian organizations reject the Annapolis Conference on the Middle East, saying the US is attempting to undermine Palestinian resistance. With a referendum due this Sunday, Venezuela president Chavez warned that there is a US plot to create chaos in his country, requiring military intervention.
From RUSSIA- A commentary on the Western media's view of Russia- is it an estranged partner or is Putin crushing democracy and reviving the Soviet Union?
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 afternoon at 4:30pm (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 and Monday at 5:30pm(PST)
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)
