What was it like to grow up in Mongolia, then and now? In this episode, we explore the joys, challenges, and cultural contrasts of childhood in Mongolia. From nostalgic memories of June 1st celebrations to the stark realities kids face today, air pollution, poverty, and safety concerns, I look at how growing up Mongolian has changed over the years. With personal reflections, listener stories, and real talk about today’s social issues, this episode captures both the warmth and complexity of childhood in one of "young nation".

What happens when traditional beliefs meet modern thrift culture? In this episode, we explore how Mongolia’s secondhand fashion scene is evolving, from the stigma of komissiin baraa to the rise of trendy thrift shops like Toirog.
Many Mongolians believe that clothes carry a person’s energy or their hiimori, or life force - making secondhand fashion both spiritually complex and socially loaded.
The host Dono also shares a personal journey into thrifting, while unpacking how younger generations are redefining secondhand as stylish, sustainable, and meaningful.
