Should We Retire Early?

Azmyl Yunor and Michael Gong return as a duo to face Kam in another episode of A Bit of Culture. Azmyl Yunor starts the conversation by talking about the informal economy in the form of live spaces and how they’re marginalised by the authorities. Michael Gong then puts his Morning Run hat on and asks the gang whether early retirement is really worth it. Kam then ends the show by pondering about how our bodies are not actually built for the modern age.
