A Bit of Culture welcomes November with three different topics that will get you thinking deeply about things. Our first guest, Ong Kar Jin, kicks off the show by talking about our obsession with nostalgia, particularly the 90s and its promise of our dreams and aspirations. Then, it’s Kam’s turn to talk about his obsession with US politics, and why he’s focused on that, instead of Malaysian politics. After the break, our second guest, Julian Yap talks about cultural touchpoints that we used to collectively refer to and where they are at the moment. It’s an episode that you don’t want to miss!

Cultural Touchpoints - Where Are They Now?

Kam Raslan, Zan Azlee, and Azmyl Yunor reunite on another episode of A Bit of Culture, with an eclectic mix of topics that will get you pondering. Zan goes first with his take on eating food from its place of origin, and whether that’s the best way to enjoy food from different cultures. Then, it’s Azmyl’s turn to dissect the nuances surrounding how people in the Malay community apologise. In the second part of the show, Kam wonders why people fall for scams, and speculates that it might not necessarily be driven by greed alone. Tune in and contemplate on how they dissect these topics!

Why Do We Fall For Scams?

Indeed. So, should you? That’s the central question that we try to unpack and sift through in this episode, with regular guest Dhanya Nair raising the question to our host Kam Raslan and fellow guest Matt Armitage. They discuss this thoroughly, reflecting on various facets. But before that, Kam wants to know whether Matt and Dhanya are adventurous eaters, and to what extent they’re willing to expand their palate. Afterwards, Matt talks about Google’s NotebookLM and one of its unique features of being able to summarise your notes and research into a very well-produced podcast. Cue the fear from Kam (and us too!). It’s a well-rounded episode that you don’t want to miss, so tune in!

Should You Live Your Lives Like In The Movies?

The dynamic trio of Kam Raslan, Na’a Murad and Michael Gong return once again to wreak cultural havoc! Na’a starts the show by talking about movie monsters and whether they’re a reflection of the worst of us or not. From that topic, we then walk down memory lane, with Kam leading the way to reflect on things we used to do that we don’t do anymore. This topic gets them reminiscing about things that people of a certain age can relate to! Later, they spend the second part of the show talking about whether someone can be considered a racist if they reject other people’s food culture. A fascinating topic to end the show with, before their splendid recommendations. You don’t want to miss this one!
