  A Bit of Culture

  Yearning for the Past, Questioning the Present

  Aug 17, 202645 min

  Why do we sometimes have a strong yearning for a past that we've never experienced? According to Kam, that's a phenomenon called anemoia. He unpacks what it means and reflects on a past that he strongly yearns for. Our two guests, Vernon Adrian Emuang and Ong Kar Jin, chime in with their thoughts before sharing their own topics — rethinking literacy and identity politics. Kar Jin ponders the state of literacy, inspired by some alarming statistics among students in the US, while Vernon questions whether there are ways to grow beyond identity politics. Three distinct topics that get you thinking about life — past, present and future.Image Source: Suzy Hazelwood / Pexels.com

In the second part of the show, Kam Raslan reflects on migrating to another country and the complexities that come with such a decision.

  Memorise, Explore, and Grow Old Gracefully

  Aug 3, 202649 min

  Is rote learning really that bad, especially as people, and students in particular, are becoming more reliant on AI? That's what our guest Hafiz Noor Shams is pondering, as he discusses this with host Kam Raslan and the other guest, Dhanya Nair. The group debates whether children should first memorise facts at a foundational level before developing their critical thinking skills. But before we get to that topic, Dhanya talks about travelling without recommendations and whether that's a more fun way to explore new places, and Kam reflects on getting old after recently celebrating his 60th birthday. A fun episode of A Bit of Culture that hits all the right notes.Image Source: tainah ferreira / Pexels.com

  Are You Competitive?

  Jul 27, 202651 min

  Kam Raslan, Vernon Adrian Emuang and Matt Armitage come together to discuss three different topics. Inspired by the World Cup, Kam talks about the spirit of competitiveness and its appeal to spectators — especially since he himself is not necessarily a competitive person. Vernon then talks about how you literally put a price on art, beyond its figurative value. In the second part of the show, Matt and Vernon try to convince Kam not to just use AI, but to also love it. Another exciting episode that you don't want to miss!Image Source: zheng liang / Pexels.com
