    Why Do We Fall For Scams?

    Kam Raslan, Zan Azlee, and Azmyl Yunor reunite on another episode of A Bit of Culture, with an eclectic mix of topics that will get you pondering. Zan goes first with his take on eating food from its place of origin, and whether that’s the best way to enjoy food from different cultures. Then, it’s Azmyl’s turn to dissect the nuances surrounding how people in the Malay community apologise. In the second part of the show, Kam wonders why people fall for scams, and speculates that it might not necessarily be driven by greed alone. Tune in and contemplate on how they dissect these topics!

    Cultural Touchpoints - Where Are They Now?

    A Bit of Culture welcomes November with three different topics that will get you thinking deeply about things. Our first guest, Ong Kar Jin, kicks off the show by talking about our obsession with nostalgia, particularly the 90s and its promise of our dreams and aspirations. Then, it’s Kam’s turn to talk about his obsession with US politics, and why he’s focused on that, instead of Malaysian politics. After the break, our second guest, Julian Yap talks about cultural touchpoints that we used to collectively refer to and where they are at the moment. It’s an episode that you don’t want to miss!

    Should You Live Your Lives Like In The Movies?

    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! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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

    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! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why The Fascination For Murderers And Tragedies?

    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! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Are You Happy With Your Work?

    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!

    Are Music Festivals Dying?

    Is there a shift in the music industry when it comes to people’s preference for music festivals? That’s the question our guest, Bihzhu, is asking as attendance numbers have dwindled locally and internationally. She shared her thoughts with our culture vulture Kam Raslan and his trusty sidekick Dhanya Nair. That topic is sandwiched between a conversation on body positivity and fandom, ensuring a wholesome, nuanced episode of A Bit of Culture that you will enjoy. Tune in and find out for yourself!

    LinkedIn is... Cringe?

    This fresh episode of A Bit of Culture discusses the nuances in tech that has changed the way people behave and interact. Joining Kam Raslan to unpack the nuances, in separate contexts, are Azmyl Yunor and Sheryll Paul. Kam starts the show by talking about the dangers of being misunderstood in texting, drawing from his own personal experience of being interpreted as being “too aggressive” in the way he writes his text messages. Sheryll follows that up by talking about how LinkedIn can get pretty “cringe”, especially when some people become overly positive and upbeat about their jobs on the platform. Last but not least,  Azmyl reflects on the way social media has changed the way artists behave, relying on the platform to share more about their personal lives, as opposed to focusing solely on their craft. Tune in for thoughtful and sometimes hilarious takes on these topics, and more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
