This week on A Bit Of Culture we delve into three dynamic topics, as stand-up comedian Dr Jason Leong joins Kam Raslan and BFMer Richard Bradbury. Remember canned laughter from TV sitcoms? Our cultured trio discuss its merits and relevance in today's comedy. Dr Jason takes on the delicate issue of "traditional" medicines and its demerits. We end the episode with Richard mulling over the future of electric guitars, which might be rendered out of fashion soon apparently.
