NEW PODCAST!!!- feed://www.outfarpress.com/podcast.xml (128kb Highest Quality)
This week's show features stories from Spanish National Radio, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Sputnik Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK World Radio Japan.
From SPAIN- SNR no longer produces news in English but podcasts feature stories. Here is one on the Academy Award given to Laura Poitras and Glen Greenwald for the documentary film on Edward Snowden called "Citizenfour."
From GERMANY- The highest Spanish court ruled that the Catalonian secessionist vote was illegal. French President Hollande promised stiffer penalties for hate speech, in light of increasing anti-semitism. France deployed an aircraft carrier and 21 combat jets to the Persian Gulf, while Russia offered an updated missile system to Iran. Two reports on the attempted ceasefire in eastern Ukraine.
From RUSSIA- British Parliamentarian George Galloway is making a documentary film on the financial riches former Prime Minister Tony Blair has accumulated since retiring to private life. Galloway says that it is true for many politicians leaving government positions.
From CUBA- In Acapulco Mexico citizens protesting the disappeared 43 students were beaten and taken away. Ecuadoran President Correa announced he will cut his salary and those of other high-ranking government officials to help finance more medical professionals and programs to reduce maternal mortality. An Israeli peace group published the numbers of new illegal buildings in east Jerusalem. A Manhattan jury leveled a $600 million settlement against the Palestinian Authority and the PLO for Americans killed in Israel. Iran says that good progress was made in nuclear negotiations in Geneva.
From JAPAN- An update on the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which the US and China refuse to ratify or sign. Amnesty International called on world leaders to review their response to armed conflict to better protect civilians. Greece was given an extension of its bailout from the EU. The Japanese nuclear regulatory commission demanded a thorough investigation of the latest leaks of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean from the devastated Fukushima nuclear power plants.

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)
