How Many Friends Do You Really Need?

How Many Friends Do You Really Need?

What do you get when you put our versatile culture vulture, Kam Raslan and two BFM producers together? A Bit of Culture, of course! It’s a doozy and reflective episode, with Sim Wie Boon starting the show by asking the group whether they would like to meet the multiverse versions of themselves, if they have that opportunity. Kam then talks about Russian propaganda and disinformation, in light of the ongoing war. In the second part of the show, Julian Yap asks the group another interesting question - how many friends do you need? This triggers the group to start reflecting about their relationships and friendships with others.

Produced by: Ali Johan
