It's hard to argue that there is much life left in main stream English language short wave service at least in this part of the world. I do miss the romance of radio, but have reluctantly joined the ranks of the podcast/webcast generation.

The one international broadcaster who argued most vehemently for keeping shortwave an option for all. A very sad announcement indeed, because I am generally not a podcast or online listener, believing still in the medium of over-the-air radio (and not necessarily just in the broadcastable nature of spoken word programming, which I do believe in as well). It puts on its head the nature of who is "privileged" in the world - I almost now want to consider the "privileged" to be the Indonesian, Pacific Islander, Andean highlander, or African resident who can still rely on "radio" as radio.
