It’s a star-studded cast on A Bit of Culture, as futurist Matt Armitage and Bob Dylan of Bangi Azmyl Yunor join Kam Raslan for another session of culture-filled banter. Matt gets the party going by talking about ChatGPT’s latest feature - it can now sing! This gets Kam excited, though Azmyl thinks it won’t be much of a threat to his music career. After that, Kam talks about coolness and whether there’s a universal norm for being cool. And to end the show, Azmyl ponders about whether there’s a difference between travelling and going on a vacation. Another episode that you don’t want to miss!
