Summer has been great for us here at Vi Can Shine! We’ve spent the last two months enjoying the sun and thinking about how to improve the show. With the above in mind and a few comments that we have received, we are going to be making these changes.

PODCAST LENGTH + SCHEDULE
Our Podcast will now be separated into two episodes rather than condensed into one long episode. We’ll release two episodes per month on the first and third Sundays of every month.  The broadcasted radio show will still be 1.5 hour long as normal.

PODCAST LANGUAGE – VIETNAMESE
Moving forward, most of our podcasts will be in Vietnamese or in English with Vietnamese translations.  Our show is broadcasted on air to the Vietnamese community in the Greater Vancouver area first and foremost. We are working with VietBC Radio and their audience consists of people who are looking for Vietnamese language content.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE SHOW?
For most of us here at Vi Can Shine!, English is what we are more comfortable with using when it comes to expressing ourselves. We are currently looking for volunteers for our English language show. We would like to develop engaging content in English for younger generations of Canadians with a Vietnamese background. We hope to release these shows next year or possibly earlier. 

Our English language content will only be released as a podcast. Doing this will also allow us to have more free rein regarding content. 

We hope these new changes will make Vi Can Shine! better! Thank you for sticking with us and having patience as we try to find our stride again!

Cheers!
Mai Huynh – Vi Can Shine! Program Director

It has been a wild year for the team here at Vi Can Shine! It’s hard to believe we are working on our 12th episode and final episode for Season 1.

We have learned a lot as a team and have come a long way from our first episode. The nerves and panic that we experienced when we started have now turned into excitement and confidence. All those long nights of editing, translations, meetings, and reaching out to guests were all worth it! We now are looking forward to a brighter future for the show in Season 2 and onwards. Season 2 will start on July 4th, 2021, and will come with new things! We have changed up the format and streamlined a few things to make things more efficient to allow us to focus on other aspects of the show. We hope you will enjoy the show!

As always, we are always looking to add more members to our team. If you are interested in volunteering with us, let us know! We’d love to have you on our team. You can find more details about volunteering here.
