Hello friends,
Some audio productions about shortwave radio and international broadcasting have recently Ā«dropped.Ā» (Now we have to find a way for them to be transmitted on shortwave.)
The Divided Dial series from WNYC Studios’ On the Media has two recent episodes about Ā«the untold story of shortwave radioĀ»
The Documentary Podcast from the BBC World Service discusses Ā«the damage to independent journalism globally by cuts to USAGM and USAID.Ā»
On his new Turn Signal podcast, Patrick Sullivan AC3K interviews Steve Herman W7VOA, Chief National Correspondent for Voice of America about VOA and about about the struggle to resume its operations after the Trump Administration shut down VOA on March 15 (Ā«Bloody SaturdayĀ»).
Ā
On this week’s Shortwave Radiogram, we begin with a report about the European Union providing emergency funding to Prague-based RFE/RL, because of the Trump Administration’s withholding of budget money to that organization. This was reported widely, but I chose a story from Poland’s TVP World because of its brevity — helpful with our MFSK32 mode. (Kari Lake, Trump’s lead for US international broadcasting, told NPR Ā«We welcome it. If Radio Free Europe is important for Europe, they can pay for it.Ā»)
TVP World does a good job of reporting about Poland and Europe, but it seems the BBC believes Poland can use a more independent source of news. BBC will begin its BBC News Polska service — text and video — in June. BBC had a Polish service on radio from 1939 to 2005.
A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 401) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 402, 22-28 May 2025, in MFSK modes as noted:
Ā 1:42Ā MFSK32: Program preview
Ā 2:56Ā MFSK32: EU to provide emergency funds for RFE/RL
