Another week, another episode of A Bit of Culture that has a bit of everything. Ahmad Yazid and Sheryll Paul join Kam Raslan to talk about noise, quizmasters, and individual vs. community. Kam starts first with his topic on noise and how people deal with it—do they prefer total silence, or is a bit of noise here and there fine? Then, Yazid shares his new side hobby: being a quizmaster, and how much he enjoys the role. In the second part of the show, Sheryll talks about how, in the age of individualism, one still needs to recognize the importance of pulling their weight if they want to remain part of a community. Three different topics with classic A Bit of Culture flavour that you've come to enjoy!
