Believe it or not, A Bit of Culture host Kam Raslan was actually a very fashionable person. Well, at least that’s what he would like us to believe, especially when he decides to regale his fellow guests, BFM News producer Dhanya Nair and Tatler’s Digital Editor Sim Wie Boon with the history of the necktie. In between that, Dhanya starts the show by talking about the possibilities of human beings living forever (thanks to technology) and whether that’s something that we would want? Afterwards, Sim Wie Boon gets the group (and us) to wonder whether we need to have an opinion on everything.

A Bit Of Culture

The History of the Necktie

It's a fascinating exchange of ideas and insights when Kam and his two guests, Zan Azlee and Vernon Adrian Emuang, get together again for another episode of A Bit of Culture. Vernon takes the lead here, opening the show with a conversation on film biographies that take creative liberties to embellish the narrative. Is this something that we should take note of? Kam follows that up by talking about our names and whether we are defined by them. Then, in the second part of the show, Zan talks about his use of AI as a creative sparring partner. Three distinctive topics — just the way A Bit of Culture is meant to be enjoyed!

Does Your Name Define You?

A Bit of Culture returns for the new year, raring to go again. We start the first episode of the year with three distinctive topics. Dhanya goes first, talking about the simulation hypothesis and whether it's a theory that the others have entertained as they ponder life. Then it's Kar Jin's turn to talk about performative reading and whether some people are choosing to pretend they're reading to appear smart. In the second part of the show, Kam talks about whether people are going to the cinema as often as they used to. Three different topics with the usual A Bit of Culture flavour.

Is This Real Life, Is This Just A… Simulation?

Is being happy and content the same? This is the question that Dhanya Nair brings to the table as she seeks the perfect balance between the two. Our host Kam Raslan and his partner-in-crime Mikey Gong try to answer that question while juggling their topics. Mikey talks about the depth of children's books and what the panel would like to write if given the chance, while Kam speaks about being on time and its value. Three different topics that somehow meet in the middle to form another exciting episode of A Bit of Culture!
