In this episode of A Bit of Culture, two epistemophiles you're probably familiar with, Farah Hani and Na'a Murad, have a lively discussion with Kam on the future of freelancing, our history with dogs and Wong Yan Ke. Kam unionizes with his guests in the studio to discuss the triumphs and endeavors of being a freelancer. Na'a shares with us his favourite story of a 1930s Kelantan royalite, his pet dog, and the role of man's best friend in pre-independence Malaya. And Farah comes forward on regional protest culture in the light of a student protester making a statement against the vice chancellor of his university during his graduation ceremony.
