Micro-Retirements - The New Career Trend?

Is micro-retirement the best way to tackle the hustle and bustle of our lives? That’s what one of our guests, Dhanya Nair is pondering as she observes this new trend executed by the younger, more privileged members of the workforce. Kam and Zan chime in, sharing their own personal experiences along the way. Prior to that, Kam starts the show by talking about his collection of mementos that he collected but can’t really remember their significance. Should he keep them or throw them away? Zan then talks about girls in sports and how the system seems to discourage them from participating the older they get. Another humorous and thoughtful episode of A Bit of Culture that you don’t want to miss!
