Episode notes

Short wave will be used to broadcast news into russia and ukraine. It sounds like reports of the death of radio are greatly exaggerated. We're learning that now, if i want to communicate to people in other parts of the world, especially in times of conflict, as we have now, then i would do that through the short wave - which cannot be stopped.

The BBC is bringing back shortwave radio broadcasts to counter censorship and disinformation in Russia and Ukraine. Professor D.W. Stupples explains.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Noel King.
