Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (May 16) 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 week started off with international concern over the
inability to get aid to the cyclone victims in Myanmar. 60 people died as 8
bombs were set off in the capital city of Rajasthan in India. Response to
Monday's devastating earthquake in the Sichuan province of China was
stalled by collapsed roads and severed communication. Saving lives was the
top priority for the rescue teams. A report from the first rescue teams
arriving near the epicenter. The China Youth Daily had an editorial praising
the government for letting truth run ahead of rumor and avoiding widespread
panic.
>From NETHERLANDS- A commentary on the China earthquake and how it
comes on the heels of terrible winter weather conditions and the
international protests over the state of affairs in Tibet leading up to the
Olympic games. A new study asserts that people in Brazil, India, and Mexico
have the most environmentally sustainable lifestyles- Americans, Canadians
and the French have the worst. Aid agencies warn that N Korea is facing
famine as bad as one ten years ago when a million people starved to death-
and aid is based on political demands.
>From CUBA- There are huge protests against genetically-modified foods at
a UN conference in Bonn Germany. The UN is demanding an investigation
of the murder by Israeli troops of a UN palestinian teacher in Gaza. As Geo
Bush arrived in Israel to help celebrate the 60th anniversary, attacks on
Gaza continued unabated. US troops have turned Mosul, Iraq into a ghost
town according to reporters with the Independent UK. The US military
cancelled a press conference that was intended to present proof that Iranian
weapons were being used in Iraq.
>From RUSSIA- An American reporter, facing fines for not revealing her
sources concerning the Anthrax attacks in the US in 2001, is calling for the
press to stand up for its first Amendment rights.
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 (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)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from or iTunes
(search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at
And Radio For Peace International at
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!

to reduce it or kill it altogether.
