Trough TV

Are we in the age of Trough TV? What’s a Trough TV, anyway? That’s what A Bit of Culture will be discussing in this episode, alongside the ethics involved in making documentaries, as well as slangs and whether that will hinder our comprehension. Joining Kam Raslan to discuss these three varied topics are Julian Yap and Ahmad Yazid, and together they reflect on whether TV has changed after its so-called golden age, what kind of ethics and considerations that documentary filmmakers take into account while dealing with their subjects, as well as slangs and whether speaking with one, as well as without proper vocabularies, will make you less comprehensible to others. Tune in to hear their take on these topics!
