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=outFarpress+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! (maybe a little)

Radio Heritage Interview HCJB Quito, Ecuador
_________________________
A major new interview about the work of the Radio Heritage Foundation can be
heard as audio on demand from HCJB for the DX Partyline program of January
30 2009 at www.hcjb.org.
Host Allen Graham in the Quito studios talks with Radio Heritage Foundation
chairman David Ricquish about how the Pacific wide radio heritage
preservation project got started, its progress, and the importance of making
such an effort to protect and preserve the stories of radio.
Since going live on line some 5 years ago, the website www.radioheritage.net
has received millions of visitors, page views and hits from some 125+
countries, and has become a popular free resource for researchers, students,
people in the broadcasting industry, radio listeners and enthusiasts and
increasingly, genealogists.
In the same period, thousands of original items of radio memorabilia have
been saved from damage or loss, hundreds of original articles and photos
placed on line, some 30 major radio heritage documentaries researched and
broadcast over RNZI, and much more.
Amongst the international board members that help give the Radio Heritage
Foundation its unique global perspective on radio heritage issues are well
known broadcasters Dr Adrian Peterson [Adventist World Radio], Jonathan
Marks [previously with Radio Netherlands] and Martin Hadlow [until recently
with UNESCO].
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific. Visit
www.radioheritage.net to learn more about its current activities and
programs, and to find out how you can get involved.
You can also support the radio heritage programs by donations, materials,
radio memorabilia and ephemera, and your time and goodwill. These are
challenging times financially for all heritage preservation projects, and
your donation will help save our Pacific radio heritage for future
generations.
