In the limelight

Khmu, Hmong and Lao Loum volunteers working together to learn the craft (recording).

Khamsy Philavong, a head of Xieng Zone (sub-district), is riding his Tok-Tok (tractor) to work at the station. He's been gaining popularity among listeners, especially female ones.

Khamdy (a dean of secondary school) and his co-host, Ms Yongphet (Taidam villager), are reading newspaper on-air.

Bounmy (from Lao Disabled People) and Kayua Lo (Hmong volunteer, sec student) are practising interview skills while curious crowd are watching through the window.

Nhialy Vang, a Hmong village chief, one of the most senior persons working in the station, is hosting his morning show without any assistance from a technician. He walks or sometimes rides a bycicle to work. He normally prepares a script (hand-written) himself and brings his own music collection to play (with his own cassette player!).
