The Shortwave Report 3/28 Listen Globally! : AZ IMC

Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (March 28) 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- Venezuelan President Chavez has won a dispute with Exxon over nationalizing oil reserves. Several stories in a row expressing China's view on the demonstrations and riots in Tibet- China asserts that the Western media is distorting facts and using images from events in Nepal- also they believe that politicizing the Olympics is wrong and should be avoided.
From NETHERLANDS- In reaction to the Tibetan riots, numerous European politicians are calling for various levels of boycotting the Beijing Olympic games- here is an interview with the leader of Tibet's Parliament in exile.
From CUBA- An enormous block of ice has broken off the ice shelf in the Antarctic, a rapid change due to global warming. A world perspective on the increase in food prices, the result of a "perfect storm" of factors including increased petroleum prices and crop disasters. Some see a link between the US air bases in Ecuador and the attack on Colombian rebels which occurred there.
from RUSSIA- Russia believes that the US has initiated Kosovo's independence to weaken Russia's global influence and to create another international hotspot. An opinion about the role of NATO as a stabilizing factor for Europe and the world. An opinion on the US war on Iraq as the US military death toll reached 4000.

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 (PST) 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 and Monday at 5:30pm(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)

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! (maybe a little)
