What Is Your Relationship With Your Old Photographs?

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!

Happy vs Content

Once upon a time, we looked to the West for inspiration on all things - from culture to politics. But things have changed now, as the West is now mired in various problems and no longer the beacon of inspiration that it was. So, what do we make of this? This is the question that returning guest Hafiz Noor Shams poses to his peer, Zan Azlee, and our host, Kam Raslan. But before we get to that, Zan talks about his EPF money and how he does not want the withdrawal age to be extended so that he can withdraw it soon when the time comes. Kam speaks about James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak who ruled the state in the past. Three vastly different topics on another episode of A Bit of Culture!

The Collapsing Prestige of the West

Does listening to audiobooks count as reading? That's the question our guest Matt Armitage poses to our host, the venerable Kam Raslan, and our other guest, Vernon Adrian Emuang. They dissect the differences between the two in the second part of the show, but prior to that, they talk about historians' roles in the age of AI and whether they'll be displaced, followed by the uniqueness of "pasar malams" and whether they should be given UNESCO accreditation. Another episode of A Bit of Culture that will get your mind racing and pondering!
