When Less Competition Means More Fun

It's an episode that's full of (good and bad) reminiscences as Kam Raslan, Matt Armitage and Zan Azlee gather for another episode of A Bit for Culture. Kam starts the show walking down the memory lane by recalling his first encounter with British India curry and his preference for it even now, despite already sampling the more “authentic” variations. Then, it’s Matt’s turn to talk about ratings and what it means in this day and age where people’s jobs are entirely dependent on them. In the second part of the show, Zan talks about kids’ sports day and how they’re more fun and not necessarily as competitive. This triggers certain memories from both Matt and Kam. Tune in to hear how they navigate these topics!
