  • Boloroo - 1st 40,000
    Jul 20 2023

    It’s our first-ever journey to Central Asia this week as we venture to the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar (or UB) to speak to Boloroo about the wonderfully-named district of 1st 40,000. How did a neighbourhood come to have such an imaginative (or unimaginative) name? How has the transition between communism and capitalism played a huge role in Mongolian life? How can a country convince its brightest minds to stay rather than emmigrate to the west?

  • James - Brunei
    Jul 13 2023

    This week, we venture to the small South East Asian nation of Brunei to talk to James about the place he grew up. How does a nation end up with 0 public debt? How does a society function with two simultaneous law codes? How does a small country end up linking its economy to one of the fastest growing places in the world?

    You can find James at Aeontheweeb on Youtube or as Aeonxii on Twitch
