Serial Killers - What’s The Fascination?

Once in a while, A Bit of Culture likes to feature new voices, and in this episode, it is Sheryll Paul’s turn to make her first appearance on the show. Together with a veteran, Michael Gong, they discuss three different topics that are related to culture. Our venerable host, Kam Raslan kicks off the show by wondering about our fascination with serial killers. Or rather, our fascination with their stories. Frequent traveller, Mikey then reflects on our tendency to buy souvenirs and mementos when we travel and why we do them. Last but not least, debutant Sheryll makes her bow by talking about BookTok and how it has reinvigorated reading culture for the new generation.
