The Shortwave Report 02/13/09 Listen Globally!
Posted February 13th, 2009 by outfarpress
Dear Radio Friend, 
            The latest Shortwave Report (February 13) 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)
   (NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version 
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
     This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio 
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
   From CHINA- Chinese President Hu Jintao is on a "Journey of Friendship 
and Cooperation" to Saudi Arabia and four African nations. The Chinese 
Vice-President is touring Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil. 
China is working to combat their worst drought in half a century. Terrible 
bush fires have raged through southern Australia while the north is flooding. 
UN Secretary-General Ban ki Moon spoke out against protectionism as a 
response to the global financial crisis. The US and Iran have expressed a 
willingness to improve bilateral relations. The top UN official in Afghanistan 
says that the answers to Afghanistan's problems are political not military.
   From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave 
broadcasts to North America. The decision is based on their surveys that 
find very few listeners in N America. If you ever listen to RN on shortwave, 
please let them know- by email to letters@xxxxxx or send them a letter to 
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The 
Netherlands. 
    President Obama has sent an envoy, Richard Holbrooke, to Pakistan and 
Afghanistan to develop strategies for decreasing terrorism in the region. The 
protection of whales by groups like the Sea Shepherd have resulted in 
dangerous confrontations this year- many think that a global approach to 
species preservation is becoming more critical in light of climate change.
   From CUBA- At the annual World Social Justice Day, the President of the 
UN general Assembly praised Fidel Castro and Bolivian President Evo 
Morales. Ecuador expelled a US diplomat for interference in internal affairs 
including seizing government computers and vehicles.
   From RUSSIA- A commentary on protectionism and nationalism in light of 
the global financial crisis, a topic covered extensively on international news 
this week. Russia is happy that the White House is open to restoring good 
relations with the Kremlin.
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 < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- < 
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz  now streams this 
program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < 
feed://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=outFar
press+presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts) 
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org > 
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.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!

--"As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the 
infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; 
every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because 
experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel 
my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that 
condemn and refuse the language of my people in America."
--June Jordan (1936-2002)
