Yup, A Bit of Culture is getting philosophical in this episode, and who better to do it with than with Michael Gong and Sim Wie Boon, right? But before they tackle that very deep question, they started off the show by reflecting on the toys that they played with as children and whether those toys have defined who they are today. Spoiler alert - Kam has definitely been shaped by the toys that he grew up playing with. From there, they then talked about polyglot influencers and why they’re appealing to people. It’s an episode that you don’t want to miss, so tune in!
