    EP13: Get Your Sh*t Together! Why Do M'sians Find It So Hard To Keep Public Toilets Clean? (feat. Jin Wen)

    Public toilets are unspeakably one of the filthiest places on earth as it is the place where countless of people relieve themselves of both big and small "problems". But somehow, Malaysia always seems to find itself being criticised heavily by both locals and foreigners over its public toilets. Along with WeirdKaya's very own Jin Wen, host Sarah Yeoh discusses the reasons why Malaysians often don't clean up after themselves at public toilets and how this unsightly situation can be changed. BONUS: We'll also talk about the worst scenes we've witnessed at public toilets so make sure you don't listen with a full stomach! Powered by Firstory Hosting

    EP12: Am I Unpatriotic If I Don't Hang The Jalur Gemilang?

    With Hari Merdeka just a week away, the issue of patriotism has cropped up once again following the Kuantan Municipal Council's (MBK) order that business owners hang the Jalur Gemilang or be fined RM250. Amid claims that those who don't display the national flag do not love the country as much as they should, this begs the question - should these people be labelled as "unpatriotic"? And should they be forced into displaying their loyalty towards the country by displaying the Jalur Gemilang? In this episode, host Sarah Yeoh shares her thoughts on the issue along with the message that patriotism is more than just hanging flags - rather, it's an emotion that can only come from within willingly.

    EP11: We Don't Talk About It Here: Normalizing Mental Health & Why It Matters (feat. Benice Malini)

    Mental health. It's not a topic that most would want to talk about over a cup of coffee when there are "interesting" things to talk about such as food, travel, or the latest celebrity gossip. But with news reports of more Malaysians facing mental distress and committing suicide, it has become all the more important to speak about what has long been seen as a taboo in Malaysian society. With guest and certified counsellor Benice Malini, we discuss about why mental health is often left out of daily conversations, the efforts authorities are taking to address soaring suicide rates, and how one can comfort those who have lost a loved one to a premature death by suicide.

    EP10: Of Sex, Politics, And EQ: Things We Wished Were Taught In School (feat. Alicia Tan & Shi Yuan)

    Schools are long known to be places of education, where the brightest and most intelligent minds impart their wisdom to the next generation in order to shape them into outstanding members of society. But outside of the textbooks and lectures, there are still many important topics that are often neglected for fear of arousing controversy. With WeirdKaya's very own interns Alicia and Shi Yuan, we will dive into the topics that we wished were taught to us during our schooling years along with amusing (and spicy) anecdotes too!

    EP8: Leave No One Behind: Bridging The Gap Between Boomers And Technology (feat. Zen The Geek)

    Technology, whilst being a huge part of our lives, can sometimes prove to be a huge challenge for those of the older generation, who often find it hard to adapt to or refuse to keep up with rapid technological advancement. Along with veteran tech reviewer Joshua (aka Zen The Geek), we delve into the common problems faced by such individuals, why they sometimes are afraid to embrace technology, and how one can help them to (maybe) appreciate the role of technology in their lives.
