Normal Anxious Spanish

This episode brings Kam Raslan together with regular guests, Julian Yap and Sim Wie Boon of BFM. Kam sheds a light on The Spanish Flu – the most virulent epidemic in the modern world but is strangely rather forgotten. Then, Julian shares her quarantine woe of not being able to enjoy her guilty pleasure anymore in this anxiety-ridden time. Lastly, Wie Boon talks about the new normal rising questions on life post Covid-19 vaccine discovery, pros of remote working, civil liberty and takeaway lessons of this pandemic for the future. How will we resume life after this outbreak blows over?
