Hello hello!

We are well into the new year, but here's a little contemplative musing; when was the last time you've just not do anything, and essentially just "existed"?

In this episode, Jason talks about some revelations he's had about mindfulness, and how it has led him to better understand himself, and Adam reflects on how our modern technologies are designed to do the exact opposite.

It's a bit of a call back to one of our earlier episode on slowing down, just, with a little Zen twist to it.

Anyways, kick back, relax, and enjoy the show :)

The boys get together for their final episode of 2025 by looking back at their best purchases of the year. Main tasting notes of this episode: happiness, regrets, with a tinge of nostalgia.

Summer of 2025 will be remembered as the summer spent together. The boys reflect on Jason's visit to Europe and their camping road trip together to Iceland. We talk about some fails (Jason's frozen fingers due to duck confit andAdam's struggles to boil water) but also about the highlights.

Do you get frustrated at at the thought of driving? Or, do you just shut off your brain and listen to your favorite podcast, as your two favorite hosts take you on a sonic journey?

Changing gears from our recent topics, Adam and Jason talk about their observation and comparisons between driving in overseas vs Malaysia. They also talk about Malaysia’s car culture that irks them.

This episode has been a long time coming, and the hope is that this leaves you with some food for thought, and at the very least, some relatable chuckles.

Here’s a bit of an unorthodox question; how well do you think you know yourself? Are you able to pinpoint things that makes up your sense of identity?

Well, in this episode Adam and Jason are discussing exactly that. It’s a bit of a throw back to episode 12, but they both talk about their struggles reconciling the differences in their cultural and personal identity, along with some quirks growing up in a multi-cultural country such as Malaysia.

If you’re a third culture kid, this episode might either make you feel right at home, or resurface some less than ideal memories. Regardless, we hope this episode helps you feel more seen, and as usual, we hope you have a nice day.

The boys are back!

After a little hiatus, Adam and Jason are back to discuss about what's been happening in their lives since the last episode.

Adam shares some very happy news about new developments in his life, while Jason shares about the things he has continued exploring, revisiting, and newfound discoveries.

To ring in the start of the second quarter of the century, they also discuss some some future plans, including Jason's trip to Europe.

So as usual, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

How often is it we ask ourselves the question, “who am I?”. Not to come off as a couple of freshmen from an introduction to philosophy class, but this is what Adam and Jason are trying to understand better in this episode.

Adam reflects on his time in therapy and the questions that arose from that, while they also discuss how life events might have shaped how they behave and think thus far.

This episode is going to be a bit of a deeper cut compared to the usual fare, so prepare to strap yourselves in. Otherwise, as usual, enjoy this episode, and have a nice day!

Do you sometimes wonder about the stuff you read on the Internet? How valid they are? Have you had long-held beliefs shaken?

Well, in this episode, Adam and Jason are discussing exactly that, what truth is on the Internet , and what “truth” really even is.

They go on to talk about how they define and find their “truth”, and how they think this topic gives some insight into AI!

Tin foil hat or without, hopefully this episode helps you get closer to your truth. As usual, enjoy the episode, and have a nice day!

Adam’s back! In this episode, Adam and Jason are recording live from Malaysia! This also happens to be Kosong’s 10th episode, and what fortuitous timing indeed.

Charged up with the spices of South East Asia and homemade coffee, Adam and Jason has had ample amount of time to talk and share their thoughts on a wide range of topics during Adam’s visit back in Malaysia, which culminated into this episode.

Join the boys as they reconnect in person, talk about the cultural differences that they took for granted, and more.

Welcome back listeners, to the first episode of Kosong for the new year!

In this episode, it’s less structured and thematic as Adam and Jason just caught up on how their January has been. They have both been reflecting on some of their ups and downs over the past month, and generally sharing their emotional well-being. They also talked about their excitement to meet up in person in February!

So as usual, sit back, relax, and perhaps take some time to reflect on how the year has started off for yourself.
