It's an episode that's full of (good and bad) reminiscences as Kam Raslan, Matt Armitage and Zan Azlee gather for another episode of A Bit for Culture. Kam starts the show walking down the memory lane by recalling his first encounter with British India curry and his preference for it even now, despite already sampling the more “authentic” variations. Then, it’s Matt’s turn to talk about ratings and what it means in this day and age where people’s jobs are entirely dependent on them. In the second part of the show, Zan talks about kids’ sports day and how they’re more fun and not necessarily as competitive. This triggers certain memories from both Matt and Kam.

It’s a provocative topic that’s meant to get us to reflect on our role in this, with our guest, Azmyl Yunor wanting us to think about what we’ve not been doing right to support our creative industries, and hence why they will not be able to grow properly. But before we get to that, our other guest, Vernon Adrian Emuang gets the show running with a topic on public art, and the nuances surrounding it. Kam takes a lighter note and talks about trailers, and whether we’re able to judge whether a movie is going to be good or bad just by watching its trailer. Three different topics that will surely tickle your intellectual curiosity.Image Source: Naufal Hariri / Pexels.com

Zan Azlee and Sudais Ferhard join our culture vulture Kam Raslan on another episode of A Bit of Culture that has a bit of everything. Zan gets the ball rolling on a slightly serious note, by pondering about protests and their trigger points - what will get people to demonstrate against power? The mood shifts to a slightly lighter one afterwards, with Kam asking whether it’s possible for us to persuade other people to like the music we like. In the second part of the show, the trio goes on a more speculative tangent, talking about aliens and whether we’re doing enough to prove their existence. A classic episode of A Bit of Culture that has something for everyone.Image Source: PeopleImages / Shutterstock.com

The rampant proliferation of deepfakes that are looking more believable these days has led A Bit of Culture's tech guru Matt Armitage to wonder what else we can do to combat them. Sharing his thoughts on the topic are Kam Raslan and Dhanya Nair. Before we get to talking about deepfakes, Kam shares his thoughts on how technology, once only accessible by the elites, is now accessible for everyone. Is this true though? The trio also discuss Dhanya’s topic - the return of old school musical acts and whether it’s a sincere attempt to relive the nostalgia of good, glorious days with loyal fans that are now older, but with more spending power. Three contemplative topics that will entertain listeners!Image Source: Tero Vesalainen / Shutterstock.com

“Where, in the Malaysian imagination, is the cultural center?” That’s the question that our host, Kam Raslan, poses to our two guests, Sharmilla Ganesan and Vernon Adrian Emuang, leading to a very fascinating conversation on where we are when it comes to acknowledgement and appreciation of our own cultural products and identities. But before we get to that, Sharmilla talks about “grandma” hobbies, and whether there’s a movement towards hobbies that are slower and less tech-centric. Vernon then ponders about whether poetry is making a comeback in our consciousness. Another episode that you don’t want to miss!Image Source: jamesteohart / Shutterstock.com

It’s an episode of A Bit of Culture that focuses on our relationships with people, the environment and cultural products. Joining Kam Raslan to unpack these topics are Sudais Ferhard and Dhanya Nair. Dhanya starts the show by talking about whether we’ve gone too far in cutting people who disrupt our peace out of our lives. From that topic, we move on to talking about disaster paranoia, and whether we think about environmental disasters affecting us all the time, or we’re a bit more relaxed about them? After the break, Kam talks about movies that we used to love, but now find unbearable. Another episode of A Bit of Culture that’s fun and entertaining!Image Source: Jurik Peter / Shutterstock.com
