It’s a hip episode of A Bit of Culture when Morning Run producer Sim Wie Boon and movie buff Julian Yap get together to chill with Kam Raslan. Julian opens the show by talking about Tumblr’s uniqueness as a social media site, and its potential return to popular culture as people consider an alternative to Twitter. Sim then continues the conversation with his topic - quiet luxury, a fashion trend for the top 1%. In the second part of the show, Kam talks about collectibles and things the gang would like to collect if they have infinite wealth.
