Guest: Bernice Chauly, Poet & Writer, Sharmilla Ganesan, Writer & Critic

Bernice Chauly and Sharmilla Ganesan join Kam Raslan on this wonderful episode of A Bit of Culture to talk about magic, Swedish cake culture, and whether appreciating The Odyssey on 70mm IMAX is veering into snobbery. Kam starts the show with a chat on our relationship with the mystical and how there seems to be a reverence towards it, even if we do not necessarily believe in it. Then, Bernice regales the group with the story of how the Swedes love their cakes and desserts, and how they commemorate every special occasion with a cake. In the second part of the show, Sharmilla ponders whether Christopher Nolan's decision to shoot The Odyssey on 70mm IMAX has led some to be a bit snobbish about how it should be viewed. Three fantastic topics to get you thinking about the world that we live in.
