NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl- http://npaper-wehaa.com/boulder-weekly/2015/03/26/#?article=2478097
This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, Sputnik Radio, and NHK World Radio Japan. From GERMANY- Turkish police attacked citizens protesting the shutdown of the opposition newspaper. Several stories about the refugee crisis in Europe- Turkey agreed to return refugees in exchange for several concessions with the EU including cash. The UN Refugee Agency says the deal contravenes international law. Meanwhile more than 13,000 refugees remain stranded along the Greek/ Macedonian border as all the Balkan routes to the EU have been shut down. The political deadlock in Spain continues after the Socialist party failed to form a coalition. From CUBA- As President Obama prepares to visit Cuba, an editorial in a Cuban newspaper points out the importance of the US lifting its economic blockade and abandoning Guantanamo Bay. Venezuelan President Maduro has called for a national march this weekend against Obama's recent executive decree that Venezuela is a threat to US national security. The UN says Israel is demolishing Palestinian buildings constructed with international aid at an alarming rate. A barrage of US drone strikes killed more than 150 people in Somalia. The White House will for the first time release the death toll from US drone strikes since 2009. From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed John Kiriakou, former analyst for the CIA and investigator for the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. John revealed the CIA torture program on ABC television and the NYT and was sent to federal prison for 2 years. He talks about the hypocrisy of administration leaks, the incremental devolution of civil liberties in the US, and the controversy over the San Bernardino iPhone. From JAPAN- A court has ordered the shutdown of 2 of the 4 nuclear power plants that were restarted in Japan. NHK produced a 4 part series on the 5th anniversary of the devastating Fukushima nuclear meltdown- this one is about problems decommissioning the reactors. Vietnam opened a major port facility in the South China Sea for US aircraft carriers and submarines. As it started its largest ever military exercise with the US, South Korea said it would respond without mercy if North Korea carries out its threats.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line - 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. 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 < http://www.kzyx.org >
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!
