April’s Wrong Oxytocin

Kam Raslan | Vernon Adrian Emuang | Neal Hoskins

April’s Wrong Oxytocin

Kam Raslan is joined by Vernon Adrian Emuang and ABOC first-timer Neal Hoskins, all the way from Poland. Kam shares his recent documentary watch about BBC’s The Black and White Minstrel Show, a famous 60s show that showcases black face. The trio discuss when does something right becomes very wrong. Then, Vernon enlightens with the “cuddle hormone” aka oxytocin. In time where physical distancing is being enforced, how is it affecting us? Next, Neal realises last April, that he is more focused with minute tasks and objects with the extra time of being indoors. Are our attachments to objects and time different now, thanks to the lockdown?
