An emotive article about how Hmong refugees use older technologies to connect with one another and find their place in the world. There are also interesting parallels to modern day social networks, complete with scammers and the drubbing of others. "The shows weren’t the traditional kinds you’d find by tuning to an AM or FM band; they were operated independently from media companies by ordinary Hmong citizens, aired live all-day, every day and were free to call into for as long as you’d like. They used free conference call software to do it, a network that is still in place to this day."
