In our first episode of the 2018 season and coinciding with Loa’s third year anniversary, we feature our newest reporter Thúy Vi Cao. In this week's Vietnamism, she explores the meaning of “black” in Black April and examines all that colors our understanding of victory, tragedy, and trauma.

In Solitary Envoi, we re-visit a reading and interpretation of Tổ Quốc Gọi Tên, a poem about one’s love for the motherland. This segment is produced by Quyên Ngô and originally aired on our very first episode.
