Kam Raslan returns from his injury to bravely helm A Bit of Culture again, with journalist Zan Azlee and BFM’s Dhanya Nair joining him on the show. Zan starts the show by sharing what it’s like to be a parent to young, athletic children and how proud and scared he is at the same time. Kam then laments about how Kuala Lumpur’s design is not really friendly for pedestrians and the differently-abled. After the break, Dhanya poses a question to the group: is nostalgia destroying pop culture? In what way? Tune in to find out!
