In this edition of A Bit of Culture, we welcome back writer Dr. Ann Lee and journalist and academic Zan Azlee together with our host, Kam Raslan. The trio begins with their usual pandemic thoughts, for better or worse - as well as talking through the #BenderaPutih movement. More on the home front, Dr. Ann shines the light on the arts industry, reflecting her thoughts on the open letter by Dato Dr. Faridah Merican. We end with Zan's take on woke TV programs; the trio chews over this trope in modern television and its evolution over the years.
