Weekends: International News Review (8 January 2022)

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Martin Bayer, Managing Director of Audi Singapore, and Dave Pynt, Chef‑Owner of the Burnt Ends Hospitality Group and the one-year anniversary of the “Audi House of Progress” in Singapore and its impact on educating, inspiring, and feeding the public. We discuss how the future of premium mobility is being rewritten — not on the road, but in the way brands connect with people. March marks the first anniversary of the Audi House of Progress, the first global market where Audi adopted a full direct‑to‑consumer (DTC) retail model. Under Martin’s leadership, Audi has moved beyond transactional car sales to create an experience‑led ecosystem — one where customers engage with the brand through curated events, interactive digital touchpoints, and lifestyle collaborations. One of the most distinctive partnerships is with Burnt Ends Bakery as a centrepiece of the Audi experience. Dave shares how this collaboration elevates the space into a lifestyle destination, blending craftsmanship, hospitality, and automotive innovation.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Joleen Loh, Curator, National Gallery Singapore to talk about their latest exhibit "Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise". The exhibition brings together over 45 major artworks and more than 110 rarely seen archival materials from five groundbreaking Southeast Asian women artists: Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand). Many of these works are being shown in Singapore for the first time. "Fear No Power" is the Gallery’s first comparative exhibition of women artists from across the region, a rare opportunity to see how each artist used art as a form of resistance, social engagement, and collective care. Through performance, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, these women challenged gender norms, confronted political realities, and reimagined the worlds they lived in. Joleen shares how the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and uncover the layered meanings behind each work,  from personal histories to national narratives. It’s a powerful reminder of how art can question, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see ourselves and our societies.

Saturday Mornings: Fear No Power: Five Women, Five Nations, One Bold Reimagining of Southeast Asian Art

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys unpack a fast‑moving and deeply unsettling set of global developments — from the widening Iran conflict to political shifs inside the Trump Administration and Singapore's global bagel standing! We begin with the Iran war, which has now spilled across Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait, the UAE and the wider Gulf, with hundreds of drones targeting military and civilian sites. The conflict is no longer contained — it’s regional, persistent, and increasingly shaped by cheap, mass‑produced drones that are redefining modern warfare. Steve explains why these low‑cost weapons are so destabilising and what their proliferation means for global security. We look at the political drama in Washington: Kristi Noem’s exit from the Department of Homeland Security and the rise of Markwayne Mullin, a little‑known but fast‑ascending figure now thrust into the national spotlight. Steve explains who he is, why he matters, and what his emergence signals about the shifting dynamics inside the Trump administration. Finally, is Singapore's world bagel standing on the rise?
