Chapter 28 - 27th November 2019

< div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Selfish Giant and other stories

Sukania Venugopal (Malaysia) with an Oscar Wilde classic ‘The Selfish Giant’ about what happens when you open your heart and let love in.

Jennifer Pahl Otto (US) ‘How the pig came to stay at my house’, she wrote this when she had insomnia one night and an image of a Pig hijacked her brain and by morning she had an almost reliable story

Isaac Ho (Malaysia) with his song ‘Sanctuary’ where you want to be close to someone but you're afraid that you’ll get hurt by getting too close but you still want to try.

Chapter 27 - 14th November 2019

'The Birthday Wish' and other stories
Patrick Teoh/Yasmin Yusuff/Oba William King
Azmyl Yunor/Anna Fancett
CELEBRITY HOST: Patrick Teoh

Yasmin Yusuff (Malaysia) poem by Rod McKuen, 'The Coming of the Rain' about relationships

Oba William King (US) ‘The Birthday Wish’ to encourage the listener and uplift a spirit that might be wondering if wishes ever come true. 

Anna Fancett (UK) 'Death under a Tree' from Chaucer’s Canterbury tales. Its humour and simple moral make it accessible for children, but the message remains shocking even to an adult audience 

Azmyl Yunor (Malaysia) story and song 'Bersenderilah' translates to ‘Solitary’ in English. It is about being yourself and not following the herd. It’s a rallying call against herd and mob mentality which often plague societies!
