I am bulking and I usually do 20-30 minutes of cardio after my weights just to keep my fat gain to a minimum. When should I have my PWO shake....right after my weights before cardio or not until after cardio?

Why not do your cardio at a different time?

In the grand scheme of things it is not going to make a huge amount of difference to you - just as long as your workouts are correctly fuelled beforehand and you immediately have a PWO shake after...

But for optimal results you could have a small protein/carb drink (more carbs than protein) that you sip during the last bit of your weights workout and just prior to your cardio and then have a smaller than normal (but still significant) PWO shake afterwards.
 
Why not have half before the cardio and half after the cardio?

Well if I do cardio on my off days, what type of PWO shake should I have after 30 minutes worth of jogging or riding the stationary bike?
Also, I'd be eating a meal 1-1.5 hrs. after my PWO if that makes a difference.

If you felt you needed it then you could have a smaller PWO shake (eg: 0.25-0.33g carbs/pound body weight + 0.12-0.2g protein/pound body weight).

Personally - I don't have a PWO shake after shorter moderate intensity cardio sessions. I just have a good solid food meal.
