Is The Album Dead?

This episode of A Bit of Culture delivers on its title - a bit of everything under the sun. Kam gets the ball rolling by looking at team sports, and whether they should be emphasised and taught a lot more in school. Returning guest, Dr. Ann Lee then talks about the history of silence and how silence has been perceived by different generations and communities. Lastly, Ong Kar Jin ponders about whether music albums are still fashionable now, in an era where singles on streaming platforms reign supreme.
