Kam Raslan | Hezril Asyraaf | Matt Armitage

Breaking Encyclopedic Timing

This week on A Bit of Culture, we tackle three topics with BFM's Hezryl Asyraaf and Matt Armitage. Starting off with Hezryl's idealistic search for the "right time", basing off his thoughts on American politics and serendipitous life events. Kam Raslan then steers the conversation by looking up Google's probable arch nemesis - the Encyclopædia Brittanica. And we round off this week's culture roundtable with Matt's subject on human behaviour online; spotting a gap in the internet sphere, especially during the pandemic.
