“My street, my story!”
“Diyoriyo” airs Monday to Friday, up to three times a day by arrangement, on Radio “Navo” 96.5 FM. Each edition lasts two to three minutes, is pre-recorded and is presented in Tajik.
“Diyoriyo” is a documentary radio segment that turns ordinary streets into vivid stories about the culture, history and spirit of Tajikistan. It is more than geography: it is a living radio journey in which familiar places gain a voice and a new meaning. Each edition reveals the past and present of a street through official history and human stories, showing the memories and lives hidden behind a name.
At a time of urbanisation, renaming and rapid change, “Diyoriyo” helps listeners keep a connection with their roots. It invites people to look at a city, village or neighbourhood with curiosity, respect and pride, and to understand how even a small part of personal life belongs to a much larger history. The segment preserves local identity and makes collective memory relevant to a new generation.
Each story explores the origin of a street name, notable buildings, monuments, institutions and important events. It may also introduce residents, artists, public figures and local legends, as well as references in literature, film and other arts. The purpose is to awaken interest in the place where listeners live and to turn knowledge, images and emotion into a personal journey back to their roots.
