Confessions of a Translator

It’s time for another debut on A Bit of Culture, this time featuring playwright, writer and translator, Adriana Nordin Manan. In her first appearance on the show, she will be talking about translations and the nuances that she observed throughout her experiences translating various old documents. But before that, Kam starts the show by pondering about AI and how it has already affected our lives at the moment, despite still being in its infancy. After that, our other guest, Ong Kar Jin, speaks about technocracy, and whether it’s good or bad. Tune in to hear their thoughts and banter on these topics!

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin

Presented by: Kam Raslan
