[edit] World of Radio
World Of Radio debuted in 1980 on WUOT-FM in Knoxville, Tennessee and went to shortwave two years later. The program consists of Hauser reading news headlines about happenings in radio around the world, in a characteristic monotone voice. The program primarily focuses on shortwave radio, but also includes coverage of all aspects of the broadcast spectrum. Most items are contributed by listeners to the program or by various DX publications.[citation needed]
[edit] Mundo Radial
Hauser also produced a Spanish language version of WOR called Mundo Radial, which ran from January 2002 until November 2007.[5]
[edit] Review of International Broadcasting
Glenn Hauser established the Review of International Broadcasting in February 1977.[6] The magazine had 154 issues featuring columns such as "Listener Insights on Programming," "Radio Equipment Forum," "DX Listening Digest," "The Media Mind," and "Satellite Watch."[6] Contributors included David Newkirk, Loren Cox, and Juan Carlos Codina.[6] The magazine also integrated columns from the BBC, John Norfolk, and Alan Roe.[6] The magazine was issued monthly in the 1970s and 1980s, later decreasing to four times and then two times a year before ceasing publication in October 1997.[6] The DX Listening digest went online starting in 1999.[6]
[edit] Religious views
Hauser is a political liberal and agnostic, which occasionally puts him at odds with the fundamentalist-dominated American shortwave scene that carries his program.
