The Mariko Aoki Phenomenon

The Mariko Aoki Phenomenon

It’s a slightly more adventurous and confessional episode of A Bit of Culture, as Kam Raslan and his two guests, Marion D’Cruz and Sudais Ferhard trade personal experiences with one another, and the listeners! Sudais starts the episode by talking about a unique phenomenon that he experiences these days whenever he enters a bookstore. It’s called the Mariko Aoki phenomenon, and you’ll have to tune in to find out what it’s about. Then, Marion asks the team whether our society is doing enough for old people. Can we do more, perhaps? In the second part of the show, Kam shares his obsession with The Beatles and ponders why he’s still obsessed with them, many years later. Another exciting episode of A Bit of Culture that you don’t want to miss!
