If he has the internet infrastructure to support it maybe you can get

I m sure Gilles Letourneau would be happy to do a forum, he does the
sw show on you tube and co hosts the International radio report with
Sheldon. It might be fun to hear some people who are overseas who cant
normally come in person.

Easy Antennas for SWLs Who Want to Become HF Hams – Skip Arey

The Shortwave Shindig in Exile – David Goren
From a secret location, David’s annual freeform celebration of the
medium. This time it shapes up like this:
0100 – Shortwave-related music videos, a look at the recent Brooklyn
Pirate Radio Sound Map update, and a review of radio-related bits and
bobs from the past year.
0200 – Live on WRMI! (frequencies TBA) - with music, Meet the
Archivist w/ Thomas Witherspoon and other special features.
0300 – A Replay of “Shortwaves/Long Distance” - the 2017 two-hour
broadcast featuring the top submissions to NASWA’s and Wave Farm’s
call for shortwave-related music and sound compositions.

QRP General Coverage Transceivers: Bridge Between Transmitting and
Listening – Thomas Witherspoon
We've seen an amazing array of full-featured general-coverage QRP
transceivers hit the market in the past few years--during the doldrums
of the solar cycle, no less. These rigs provide SWLs and even DXers a
means to easily escape RFI and to experiment with portable listening
posts. We'll take a look at a number of QRP general-coverage
transceivers I consider to be truly worthy, with a particular focus on
the innovative Icom IC-705.
2000 UTC / 1500 EST / 1200 PST / 2100 CET / 0700 (Sun.) AEDT
Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood…er, Basement – Dan Robinson
Premium Receivers In A Time of Plummeting Shortwave
With All India Radio GOS in English all but gone from shortwave and
Brazil shifting to DRM,
among other depressing developments, Dan takes a look at the used
receiver market in 2021, including premium receivers, and discusses
the Japanese Buyee site.
2300 UTC / 1800 EST / 1500 PST / 0000 (Sun.) CET / 1000 (Sun.) AEDT
The Addictive Quality of Curiosity - Mark Fahey, Live from Freemans
Reach, Australia
This building in the sleepy rural village of Freemans Reach in
southeast Australia rarely needs heating. 18 receivers running
24x7x365 provide continuous coverage from 1kHz to 12.8GHz. Can the
quest for knowledge ever be satisfied? This presentation is a live
dive into the presenter’s Sisyphean obsession to monitor the world’s
culture.
