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 NHK Japan, Spanish National Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and Sputnik Radio. From JAPAN- The Japanese government is moving toward an new law that makes conspiring to make a terrorist act or serious crime a legal offense- there are strong protests both inside and outside the diet. Three former executives of TEPCO are to face trial next month for the nuclear devastation at Fukushima 6 years ago. At the UN the first draft of a bill banning all nuclear weapons was unveiled. From SPAIN- Alison Hughes begins with a report on Julian Assange whose investigation was dropped by Swedish prosecutors, while British police say he will be arrested if he leaves the Ecuadorian embassy. Donald Trump sealed a huge arms deal with Saudi Arabia keeping the US military industry busy for years. Robert Fisk commented on the admiration of wealth shared by Trump and the Saudi royals. The European press criticized Trump's statements about Iran. The Independent UK reported that the US and allies recent bombing raids in Syria have killed the highest number of civilians since the campaign against Daesh began. Last week US coalition jets bombed Syrian forces for the third time. From CUBA- In Brazil, a new poll shows that 87% of citizens favor an immediate removal of non-elected President Temer, while ousted President Dilma Rousseff called for a new direct election. Temer says he will not step down even if indicted for corruption as that would be admitting guilt. More than 220 Palestinian prisoners have joined the mass hunger strike which began last month over inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons. Palestinians launched a general strike to protest Trump's visit. From RUSSIA- On his show Going Underground, Afshin Rattansi interviewed legendary documentarian John Pilger on his reaction and insights into the horrid suicide bombing at a pop concert in Manchester England. Pilger compares the attack with the decades of Irish troubles and their root causes, and the subway attack in 2005. He also talks about the arms sales to Saudi Arabia and whether ISIS wanted to influence the upcoming British election.
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!
