Algorithms vs Putting in the Work

Kam Raslan | Julian Yap | Sheryll Paul

Algorithms vs Putting in the Work

It’s a slightly unique A Bit of Culture episode this time around, as we only have two topics, instead of the usual three. BFMers, past and present, join Kam Raslan to talk about things that matter to them. Firstly, former BFM News Producer Sheryll Paul ponders about third spaces and whether we have enough of them here in the country. What are third spaces? Tune in to find out! Afterwards, current BFMer, Julian Yap talks about relying on algorithms to feed you information, vs making the effort to search for them. It’s another episode that you don’t want to miss!

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin
