Hallyu (韓流/한류) refers to a cultural, aesthetic and artistic movement where Korean media continues to spread and grow more relevant around the world.

"Generation" is a ten-letter word that tries to do the impossible, summarise the vast, vague and undefined zeitgeist of a group of people that span nations, religions, class and ethnicity.

Yet to simply pretend there are no distinctions between people of various ages is just as far-fetched.

Today, we bring on the intelligent and well-spoken Olivia (YouTube: olisunvia) to discuss what exactly constitutes and influences Generation Z. We touch on media, philosophy, 'stan-culture', media addiction and internet personas.

Teaching is a profession that everyone seems to have an opinion about. Perhaps this is because education seems to be a rite of passage that all must pass through. Today, I bring on my good friend Jacob to discuss the intricacies of this job. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. 

Are tarot cards just cardboard with fancy images or are they objects with deeply embedded with archetypes that lurk at the very centre of humanity's psyche?

Today, I bring back Gio, a valued friend and a return guest to the podcast, to answer the fundamental question..."Do you believe in the heart of the cards?"

With the onset of this century, there seems to be a growing market (ironically) and drive for filmmakers and audiences to consume anti-capitalist films. What does this say about our society? What does this say about the new generation's trust in capitalism and the current economic structures?

Finally, can a billion-dollar industry truly be expected or able to carry a torch of anti-capitalist rhetoric when their entire foundation is built upon capital?

What does it mean to live with Dwarfism? For most of us, physical disabilities are something we rarely come into contact with and we often speak about it in euphemism.

Today, I talk to Becks, a friend of mine who has Dwarfism, as I try to better understand something that has been socially marginalised for too long.

Nietzsche famously spoke about "If you stare too long into the abyss, then it stares back at you."

I talk to Shaun Phuah, author of Providence on All Fours, a new horror novel, whose job and passion is to do exactly that...to stare into the abyss.

Today, I dive into a deep conversation about relationships, memories and life with Nick. 

As someone who is just recovering from being cheated on in his last relationship, we try to answer the most important question together 

"What is the function of a relationship?"

From April to June of 2021, we saw a nation brought to its knees by an invisible enemy.

Today, I interview Tathagat Singh, an Indian man who experienced the devastation first hand, to discuss what life was like during the worst of the second wave (an average of 5,000 people were dying a day) and how India is faring in the aftermath.

Why have people spent so much time obsessing over every little detail in art? Why are we, as humans, so preoccupied with the creation of imaginary worlds and what do these imaginary worlds say about us, our community and our historical moment?

What can we learn from the changes and repeated ideas in Asian art from the West?

Today, we'll answer all these questions and more with our guest Chris Zhang.
