Your favourite dose of pop culture is back this week with Richard Bradbury and ABOC-first-timer Vernon Adrian Emuang joining Kam to discuss three more invigorating topics. First up, Richard tells a story of his beloved hometown of Chesterfield and how the controversy behind the infamous Princess Diana mural begs a discussion on art criticism. Then, Kam shares his thoughts on how rage and negativity in comment sections are killing chances for real discussion. Last but not least, Vernon sheds some light on the Serani community in Malaysia and how he helps keep the fascination for its culture alive.
