Another week, another new episode of A Bit of Culture, looking at the many facets of culture that we surround ourselves with, but may not reflect on necessarily. Sim Wie Boon and Marion D’Cruz join Kam Raslan as he talks about luxuries, and how they’re becoming more of a necessity for us these days. After that introspection, they then discuss whether gender equality exists in the art scene in Malaysia, before moving on to discuss our fascination for murderers and tragedies. Three different topics with unique perspectives from our host and guests, and one that you absolutely don’t want to miss!

Why The Fascination For Murderers And Tragedies?

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!

Are You A Racist If You Reject The Food Culture of Others?

A Bit of Culture returns and this time around, it’s a confessional episode, with both our guests, Julian Yap and Ahmad Yazid opening up to our host, Kam Raslan. Julian starts the show by talking about the “crisis marathon” trend that’s sweeping people in their late 20s and early 30s. Is this their way of wanting to feel like they’ve achieved something significant in their lives? Yazid, meanwhile, asks the team whether they’re happy with their work, reflecting on his own career and whether he has achieved that personal satisfaction so far. In between that, Kam speaks about his fascination with voiceovers and whether they dilute movies or documentaries that use them. Another episode of A Bit of Culture that you don’t want to miss!
