Glenn van Zutphen on Saturday Mornings with Neil Humphreys (9am - 12pm)

Saturday Mornings: Eric Wong, Director of “Hi Noel” makes Singapore’s first Christmas movie

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys shine a spotlight on a powerful new film anthology that brings dignity, nuance, and humanity to one of Singapore’s most urgent social issues: dementia. We’re joined by Don Mendoza from Dementia Singapore, Michelle Chua, Executive Producer at the Lien Foundation, and filmmaker Gavin Lim, director of Another Go (重围).

Together, they introduce “A Singapore Dementia Story”, a collection of five short films premiering at Temasek Shophouse. Featuring a stellar local cast—including Tan Kheng Hua, Lim Shi‑Ann, Peter Yu, Alaric Tay, Onn Shu Ann, Suhaimi Yusof, and A. Panneeirchelvam—the anthology explores the lived realities of dementia through genres as varied as romance, comedy, animation, drama, and thriller.

We discuss how these films challenge stereotypes, reveal the unseen emotional labour of caregiving, and portray dementia not only as a medical condition but as a deeply human experience. From Gavin Lim’s uplifting drama Another Go, to Andie Chen’s romantic‑comedy‑infused What Day Is It?, each film draws from real stories and extensive conversations with caregivers and persons living with dementia.

Saturday Mornings: Love, memory & the Stories We Forget - Inside A Singapore Dementia Story with Lien Foundation & Dementia Singapore

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we tackle a deeply overlooked and often misunderstood issue: men experiencing spousal and other forms of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. In the studio are Nick Jonsson, men’s certified coach, supervised psychotherapist and counsellor, and Zina de Mercey, psychologist‑in‑training at Counseling Perspective.Nick and Zina explain why many men—especially those in senior or public‑facing roles—suffer in silence. Stigma, shame, and fear of reputational damage often prevent them from seeking help. Many worry they will be seen as the perpetrator rather than the victim, or that speaking up could jeopardise their careers, credibility, or even access to their children. They also highlight the emotional toll behind closed doors: isolation, high‑functioning distress, and post‑Covid coping behaviours such as increased alcohol use. In highly conflicted relationships, children are often caught in the middle, sometimes used—consciously or not—as leverage, creating unsafe family dynamics. Zina brings a holistic therapeutic lens, while Nick draws on years of supporting executives and leading men’s groups in Singapore. Together, they discuss why early intervention, peer support, and psychologically safe spaces are essential for prevention and healing.

Saturday Mornings: “When Men Are the Silent Victims: Breaking the Stigma Around Spousal Abuse"

This week on Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Brian Slattery, CEO and Founder of Teamwork Unlocked, and former Head of Culture Club at Google, for a refreshingly honest look at what really happens inside teams when different brains, strengths, and cognitive styles collide.

Brian’s journey—from building Google Singapore’s legendary in‑office board‑game café to designing escape‑room‑powered leadership programmes—reveals how unconventional environments can expose hidden team dynamics far more effectively than traditional workshops. His late ADHD diagnosis also gives him a unique lens on leadership quirks, communication gaps, and the psychological safety teams need to thrive. Teamwork Unlocked now uses custom‑built escape rooms to observe how teams behave under pressure: who steps up, who withdraws, how decisions are made, and where trust breaks down. These insights form the basis of immersive programmes that help organisations strengthen collaboration, improve conversations, and unlock performance. Brian shares why many teams struggle not because of strategy, but because of unspoken assumptions, mismatched working styles, and a lack of shared language around trust. For adults navigating hybrid work, new teams, or leadership transitions, this conversation offers practical, human‑centred tools to build teams that actually work.
