    The season finale of ‘Passport People’ sees our second voyage to Amsterdam as we talk to Kajan about his adopted hometown. Can a capital city end up extending into an entire country? Can a sustainably-minded city combat the dire consequences of rising sea levels? Can almost 200 nationalities really co-exist peacefully in the same densely populated area?

    Boloroo - 1st 40,000

    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?

    Nina - Namibia

    This week, we head to the Atlantic coastline of South-West Africa as Fin talks to Nina about one of her beloved home nations, Namibia. How did World War I complicate the country's existence as a German colony? How does a national identity form in a country with no majority ethnic group and nine official languages? How might a booming economy not necessarily be good news for a country's citizens? This episode contains a surprising number of cow-based anecdotes and references!
