Since our launch in April, we've had 35 episodes of stories from and about Việt Nam. As 2015 comes to a close, our four editors, Chris Lê, Quyên Ngô, Trinh Nguyễn, and Giang Nguyễn get together for a retrospective with some of our listeners and favorite segments.

Although Việt Nam is predominantly non-Christian, Christmas (Lễ Giáng Sinh) is considered a major holiday, celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians alike. Holiday decorations, bright lights and nativity scenes with a distinctly Vietnamese motif fill food stalls and tiny shops throughout city streets and villages. Loa’s Jenny Lý is in Sài Gòn with "A Look Inside" how Christmas is celebrated here this time of the year.
Loa went to Yangon, Myanmar, to take “A Look Inside” a study tour on resistance alongside Vietnamese activists.
In "Solitary Envoi", we hear about what happened in the interrogation room when the activists were detained upon returning to Việt Nam.
There’s an arms race brewing between China and Việt Nam, not with conventional weapons but with computer servers and surveillance software. Loa’s Trinh Nguyễn takes "A Look Inside" the cyber war between Hà Nội and Beijing.
In this week’s "Solitary Envoi," Quyên Ngô takes a look at the linguistic choices activists have made in expressing their protest.
