A Bit of Culture starts this episode with a banger of a topic! Julian Yap returns to talk about the trend of rating things and how it has perhaps made our experiences objectively worse. Then, it’s Kam’s turn to ask a very deep question - what brings you joy? This gets them thinking deeply about the topic. Last but not least, Dhanya Nair completes the trifecta by talking about how hard it is to be a fan these days, as you never know what’s going to happen to the things that you love. It’s a hoot when these three individuals are together, so sit back, tune in, and have fun! Oh, and maybe rate the episode too! :P

This fresh episode of A Bit of Culture discusses the nuances in tech that has changed the way people behave and interact. Joining Kam Raslan to unpack the nuances, in separate contexts, are Azmyl Yunor and Sheryll Paul. Kam starts the show by talking about the dangers of being misunderstood in texting, drawing from his own personal experience of being interpreted as being “too aggressive” in the way he writes his text messages. Sheryll follows that up by talking about how LinkedIn can get pretty “cringe”, especially when some people become overly positive and upbeat about their jobs on the platform. Last but not least,  Azmyl reflects on the way social media has changed the way artists behave, relying on the platform to share more about their personal lives, as opposed to focusing solely on their craft. Tune in for thoughtful and sometimes hilarious takes on these topics, and more!

LinkedIn is... Cringe?

Zan Azlee and Matt Armitage join Kam Raslan on another fun-filled episode of A Bit of Culture to tackle Godzilla, AI and the news! Kam starts the show by talking about his recent experience watching Godzilla Minus One, and whether there are other equivalent “monsters” in other cultures. Then, it’s Zan’s turn to put on his journalist hat and talk about journalism in the age of AI, and whether it’s a boon, or a bane for the industry. Matt follows up on that topic by then talking about news and how they’re treated more like infotainment these days, informing, but also trying to “entertain” audiences. It’s one that you don’t want to miss, so tune in!
