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 World Radio Japan, Radio Havana Cuba, Spanish National Radio, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Sputnik Radio. From JAPAN- An update on the thousands left homeless in SW Japan a month after a series of powerful earthquakes. Survivors of the 1945 atomic bombs dropped by the US on Japan are going to ask President Obama to apologize when he visits Hiroshima next week. G7 environment ministers have called for action on tackling global warming and reducing food waste. From CUBA- Several reports on the impeachment process in Brazil- her replacement, Michel Temer, angered many by selecting an all-white male cabinet and describing his neo-liberal plans, and Argentina's new conservative President Macri is the only Latin American head of state to openly support the impeachment process. The father of one of the 43 disappeared Mexican students pled for assistance at the UN Indigenous forum. This Indigenous Forum also spoke to the need for justice in the murder of Honduran environmentalist Berta Caceres. The Palestinian Liberation Organization called on the UN to implement the 1948 resolution giving Palestinians the right to return to their lands. From SPAIN- Alison Hughes reports on the political alliances in Spain that have been achieved to run in the June 26th elections. Podemos and United Left have joined to present an anti-austerity platform to the voters. From GERMANY- Chinese fighter jets buzzed a US Navy reconnaissance jet over the South China Sea. The German government expects to spend over $90 billion supporting refugees in the next five years, while right-wing attacks on refugee shelters escalate in the country. John Kerry visited Saudi Arabia and then went on to Vienna to discuss the war in Syria. The German government has plans to join France in describing the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by Turks in 1915 as genocide. An outgoing UN climate chief warned that the Paris Climate Accord is far from being ratified by nations that agreed to it. John Kerry wants to lift the UN arms embargo on Libya. From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed John Kiriakou, former CIA analyst, about the divide and rule approach of Western powers in the middle east. He also described the international arms market as a goal of the perpetual conflicts.

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
