until my early 20s. VOA improved my understanding on the cold war. I learned music of John Denver, Carpenters, Lionel Richie...quite a few American singers from VOA. It seems VOA knew my music taste then. VOA helped me to know American colleges which is very helpful to prepare me for studying in US later.
I don't know if VOA is outdated or not in today’s world where internet is major source of information and our knowledge. But VOA had a great influnce on me 40 years ago for which I am very grateful.
