Shortwave Radio in War Torn Ukraine

In this episode we will discuss a very real war - Russia’s immoral and unprovoked war of on Ukraine and how an old radio technology is proving useful in keeping access to information and truth alive. So, this will be a “heavy” episode, but the people of Ukraine are going through hell right now and this is my way of shedding some light on the situation.
