This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Spanish National Radio, Radio Deutsche-Welle,, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- In Australia, there is an annual event called Vinnie's CEO Sleepout- it is a fundraiser where CEOs spend a night sleeping out with the homeless on the streets of Sydney to raise awareness of social responsibility.
From SPAIN- As a continuation of the May 15th demonstrations in Spain, huge protests against austerity measures were held over the weekend- and people from around the country are heading to Madrid for the 23rd of July. The IMF has urged the Spanish government to be more daring with its labor reforms. Libya continues to report civilians killed by NATO forces and Italy worries about losing the "propaganda war." The US Supreme Court rejected a global warming lawsuit against 5 large power companies, in an attempt to reduce emissions from coal-burning power plants.
From GERMANY- 11 Greenpeace activists face trial in Copenhagen for crashing a Royal banquet at a United Nations Climate Conference. Cyber warfare is escalating around the world and industrial nations are developing new defensive and offensive teams and strategies. Riots have broken out between Protestants and Catholics in Belfast, N Ireland, the worst violence in the region in a decade.
From RUSSIA- As the US moves to reduce troop size in the nearly decade old war on Afghanistan, most experts believe the coalition has failed to achieve its goals- the Taliban has not been defeated, heroin production has vastly increased, Karzai has limited power, unknown numbers of troops and civilians have been killed, and hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent. US involvement in the airstrikes in Libya continues, with bipartisan groups in Congress calling the actions illegal.

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)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from (27 MB) HIGHEST QUALITY
