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, Radio Havana Cuba, Sputnik Radio, and Spanish National Radio. From JAPAN- Robots were finally able to film melted nuclear fuel debris at Fukushima, while they hope to have a removal plan by September, though decommissioning the reactor could take up to 40 years. Japan is going to hold an international nuclear disarmament conference this year. The chief of the IMF said that the organization could be based in China in a decade. From CUBA- Venezuelan President Maduro says Mexico and Colombia are working with the CIA to overthrow his government. Pastors For Peace are working against the resurgence of hostile US policies against Cuba. Argentina has experienced a severe widening of the gap between the economic classes since the election of President Macri. From RUSSIA- George Galloway interviewed Brazilian commentator Orlando Da Rocha Hill. They discussed the widespread corruption scandals in Brazil that most recently saw former President Lula da Silva receive a ten year prison sentence. This after ousting President Dilma Rousseff. He talks about the right-wing project of taking over the country and the failure of neo-liberalism. From SPAIN- Earlier in the week, Alison Hughes reported on the deadly confrontations at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. This month Israel approved the construction of 1800 Israeli homes in east Jerusalem. Muslims were blocked from the mosque and here is a report from the website Electronic Intifada. Then a Patrick Cockburn report in the Independent about the civilian deaths in the fight for Mosul in Iraq.

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!

"Privatization is a neoliberal and imperialist plan. Health can't be privatized because it is a fundamental human right, nor can education, water, electricity and other public services. They can't be surrendered to private capital that denies the people from their rights." - Hugo Chavez
