Evening Edition

Father’s Day is coming up this weekend, and with that in mind, we thought we’d talk about the results of a study recently done by vacation rental company HomeAway. What the survey found was that Malaysian fathers are seldom celebrated during Father’s Day. They don't receive gifts often and sometimes, the occasion isn't even celebrated.That's in stark contrast with Mother's Day. So we’d like to pose that question to you this evening and find out what your thoughts are on the matter: Do you think we appreciate our mothers more than our fathers? Our lines will be open.

Happily Ever After? -- the show where we revisit the fairy tales we fell in love with once upon a time. Fairy tales are known for their simplicity and versatility- making them the perfect stories to retell and revisit. While most modern retellings perpetuate feel-good tales with happy endings, there are some that use magic and myth to go against the grain. In this episode, we take a look at Pan's Labyrinth, a 2006 film by Guillermo del Toro that draws inspiration from classics like Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty to create a dark and disobedient fairy tale.
