    How To Be Better At Money

    Money doesn’t grow on trees, and we’re taught from a young age that we must always be prudent about how we spend our money. But how many of us are taught how to do that and do it well?

    How To Make Friends

    In the first month of 2026, Today I Learned will be focusing on different areas of personal improvement. For this episode, the question is: how do I make friends? We’ve heard about the Friendship Recession - and while most research is based on the US and European countries, there’s anecdotal evidence that the feeling of being disconnected and having fewer close friends is becoming a common experience for more people. We speak to Daren Despois, Counseling Psychologist & Certified ICF Coach about the art and skill of cultivating friendships.

    How To Survive Family Conflict (Holiday Edition)

    As we near the end of the year, it’s a busy time for family get-togethers, especially as children are on school break and adults are taking time off work. Whether you’re having dinner together with the extended family or going on a break with your partner (with or without children), it’s almost inevitable for some of us that there will be some minor disagreements. So how do we avoid them or at least prevent them from blowing up into major arguments? Here to guide us through that is licensed and registered counsellor Esther Chu.  Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Who Are The Palestinian Christians?

    We explore how Western Christianity and colonialism have shaped the political and religious landscape of Palestine, and how Palestinians have responded through traditions of ecumenism, solidarity, and resistance. Paul Catafago joins us to talk about the spirit of religious tolerance in Palestinian society, the historic roles of Christian intellectuals and leaders alongside their Muslim counterparts, the abandonment of Palestinian Christians by Western churches through Christian Zionism, and how these dynamics have deepened cooperation across faiths in the struggle for sovereignty.

    Are Humans Fundamentally Individualistic or Collectivistic?

    Partly inspired by Pluribus and its philosophical questions, but mostly by the shared experience of living in Malaysia, tonight’s episode attempts to understand whether humans are - at our psychological base - more inclined towards an individualistic way of life, or in the compromise required to live collectively. Is there something inherently ‘Western’ or ‘Asian’ in this way of thinking? Can we change? Eugene Tee joins us to try to unpack it all.  Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
