The cultural exploration continues with a regular and a newcomer in this latest episode of A Bit of Culture. The regular, Vernon Adrian Emuang starts the show by talking about how fun and revolutionary online shopping is and how it might change the way we view brick and mortar shops, as well as malls. The host, Kam Raslan, then talks about his experiences being a foley artist and how fun that job was - the best he ever had, in fact! In the second part of the show, the newcomer, Dhanya Nair makes her debut by talking about something that’s pretty contemporary - memes and how they’re permeating in our culture more and more.
