Voice of West Papua Joe Wally, Erwin Bleskadit, Debra Wally, Sixta Kareni, Terra and Ronny Kareni Voice of West Papua has been on the air for 11 years and is presented by West Papuan activists and community members who voice the aspirations of West Papua's struggle, share songs, interviews, music, and stories. Since the annexation of West Papua by Indonesia on 1 May 1963, more than half a million West Papuans have died and countless have gone missing as a result of a brutal military occupation. Today West Papuans are still experiencing injustice, marginalisation and human rights abuses just because they stand up for themselves. Through our stories, interviews, music, and art, we hope to raise awareness about the plight of West Papua. Papua Merdeka!

Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 085 by Various LibriVox "A regard for decency, even at the cost of success, is but the regard for one's own dignity" was novelist Joseph Conrad's take on fame, a quote from the preface to his autobiography A Personal Record (1912). Other lives chosen by readers to examine in vol. 085 include the Borgias; the Cynocephali; Hermann von Helmholtz; Edgar Allan Poe; John Burroughs; a pre-Revolutionary War magnate named Browne, who built a mansion on the ridge of a hill; women as a social class; and an 1821 rabies victim named Thomas, who exhibited hydrophobia. Political history receives scrutiny in Some Materials and a Possibility; The House Famine; Cracow; The Dutch East India Company; and Across Africa by Air and Rail. The art of Japanning illuminates an ancient craft. Literature, by Irvin Cobb, is welcome humor. And for hungry souls, there are recipes for ice cream and for Army chow! Summary by Sue Anderson.
