Nash Holos Unveils New Look, New Programs For 2012

Shortwave America business partner and close friend, Paulette Demchuck MacQuarrie, has re-designed her website and brings us new programming for 2012.

You can hear Nash Holos "Sundays at 6 pm on AM1320 CHMB Vancouver. The program also streams live at the CHMB website. The podcast is available at iTunes and audio archives on the Playlist page.

The international edition of Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio can be heard weekends on PCJ Radio and the shortwave broadcast on WRMI Radio Miami International airs the second week of the month on Fridays at 0200UTC (Thursdays 6 pm PST)." - Nash Holos Website Quote

For your convenience and ease of access to Paulette's new shows for 2012, Shortwave America is listing the newest shows with their respective content lists so all of the fans, followers, and listeners here can see the high quality of Paulette's work. What makes Nash Holos such a joy to listen to is the upbeat, positive, and educational experience Paulette presents. Nash Holos is really a welcome break from the bad news and destruction we hear about on so many stations around the world. This is a show that allows a person to relax and enjoy the light - hearted aspects of culture and people that has been largely lost in today's anxiety ridden world.

Paulette credits the support she finds in her husband, the folks at CHMB Radio, her Nash Holos reporters / contributors, Keith Perron, and most of all, her listeners for what Nash Holos has become and the greater potentials it still has yet to achieve.

Shortwave America Broadcast Schedule

The final details of the deal between Shortwave America and The Look 24-7 have been sealed and now a permanent schedule is in place. You can hear the new, improved, commercial edition of Shortwave America 8 hours a week at The Look 24-7 on Fridays and Saturdays 9 pm PT/12 am ET (Saturday/Sunday) - 1 am PT/4 am ET Saturday/Sunday. That translates to 0400UTC to 0900UTC.

There are many ways to listen: The listening link gives the audience a choice of their favorite media players, Smart Phone listening, and podcasts to name a few. Unfortunately, due to Copyright Law on an international basis, podcasts will not contain any of the music featured on the show. This DOES NOT stop you from recording with your choice of many available electronic media recording software found on the internet.

Shortwave America would like to thank Julia "Jules" Sherred, Orev Deniker, the many sponsors and donors who make The Look 24-7 happen. Chris Freitas, PCJ Media and PCJ Radio as a collective for their continuing support and partnership, Paulette MacQuarrie, WRMI Radio Miami International, and the thousands of loyal readers / fans / followers and listeners.

A standard disclaimer has to be published just for legal reasons:

Shortwave America is a family - friendly production and at any time where or when even a momentary departure from family and community standards occurs, it must be noted that: The views and opinions expressed during the Shortwave America Show are the views and opinions of the Founder / Chief - Editor and Chief Producer and of any guests appearing on the show. They do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of The Look 24/7, its parent company/companies, nor any of its affiliates or sponsors. Listener discretion is advised.

A few questions for the audience should be answered at this time. Shortwave America will remain available as a podcast at radio4all.net as well as the podcast version at The Look 24-7. This will allow for greater access to everyone who is interested. Shortwave America will indeed sound different because actual breaks must be taken to allow for station identification, listener / audience convenience, and to allow the show host to perform small, behind the scenes tasks. 

Because the show is now 4 hours in length, you will hear a range of music in-between talk segments. The music will be familiar, but also interesting due to the mix of music being presented as chosen by the show host. Listeners can now make requests! Yes, Shortwave America TAKES REQUESTS! Don't be shy!

What will the show segments be? That answer depends on the specific topics at hand for each show. We can't give it all away here and now, so tune in to The Look 24-7 and enjoy the fun! Whether you're an insomniac, night owl, third shift worker, or a resident of a distant country across the time zones just waking up and starting your day, this show is for you!
