NEW PODCAST!!!- feed://www.outfarpress.com/podcast.xml (128kb Highest Quality)
This week's show features stories from Spanish National Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, the Voice of Russia, NHK World Radio Japan, and Radio Deutsche-Welle
From SPAIN- Spanish lawmakers approved the abdication of the King Juan Carlos despite strong public protests to end the monarchy. Sunni rebels are taking over portions of Shiite ruled Iraq. A US-led coalition airstrike killed 5 US troops in Afghanistan.
From CUBA- NATO has begun war games near the Russian border as the tension in Ukraine continue to rise.
From RUSSIA- A retired Russian General comments on the strategies being used by NATO in the current confrontation. He also addresses whether NATO represents the European members or is a shield for US military actions.
From JAPAN- The new Ukrainian President Poroshenko says he will spend more money on war to end the war in the east. The Israeli parliament has elected a hardline legislator to replace Simon Perez as president. Vietnamese fishermen say another Chinese ship rammed their boat in the Gulf of Tonkin. A group of academics in Japan have voiced opposition to establishing the nation's right to collective self-defense. Farmers in the Fukushima prefecture have resumed rice planting in only 2 percent of available fields despite government permission.
From GERMANY- The former Army Chief of Egypt has been sworn in as president in an election boycotted by half the population, while 20 prominent activists were jailed for 15 years. The missing abducted schoolgirls in Nigeria have not been released. French far-right figure Jean Marie Le Pen was caught making anti-semitic remarks sparking a public dispute. Ukraine refused an attempted EU negotiation with Russia over gas prices. Then a postcard from a German born in the 70s about what D-Day means to him.

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)

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."
