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, NHK World Radio Japan, Spanish National Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and Sputnik Radio. From GERMANY- The German government has decided to send troops and war equipment to join in the war in Syria. The British parliament voted to join in airstrikes in Syria, and the bombing raids have begun. A prominent Kurdish lawyer and activist was publicly assassinated in Turkey greatly increasing tensions between Kurds and Turkey. From JAPAN- A Japanese ship is traveling the Pacific and Antarctic oceans to survey micro-plastics. Other Japanese ships have headed to the Antarctic to harvest whales despite protests from Australia, New Zealand, and Sea Shepherd activists. Russia shows photos accusing Turkey of delivering weapons and buying oil from Islamic State militants in Syria. From SPAIN- A report on the political and social climate in Lebanon, where a terrorist attack occurred the day before the Paris attacks. Then a report on global protests before the start of the UN Climate Summit in Paris. From CUBA- More details about climate protests held in 2400 places before the start of the Paris Summit. Then summaries of what Ecuador's President Correa and Bolivia's President Evo Morales said at the opening of the Climate Summit. From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed Nick Dearden, director of the NGO Global Justice Now. They talked about the corporate influence on the Paris Climate Summit, the relationship of austerity measures to climate degradation, and the banning of protests in Paris during the crucial talks.

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!

"We journalists... have to be brave enough to defy those who seek our collusion in selling their latest bloody adventure in someone else's country... That means always challenging the official story, however patriotic that story may appear, however seductive and insidious it is. For propaganda relies on us in the media to aim its deceptions not at a far away country but at you at home... In this age of endless imperial war, the lives of countless men, women and children depend on the truth or their blood is on us... Those whose job it is to keep the record straight ought to be the voice of people, not power." --John Pilger
