Synopsis: A new weekly podcast by The Straits Times, highlighting the best films, concerts, restaurants and arts events.

 

In the spirit of Christmas, we chat about a yummy meat platter at restaurant The Black Swan in Cecil Street and two gigs picks on Dec 22: Jeremy Monteiro's Jazzy Christmas: A Big Band, Big Bang! concert at the Esplanade and one of Singapore’s longest-running party series EATMEPOPTART.

 

There is also the Global Migrant Festival on Dec 15 and 16. Reporter Olivia Ho reads an excerpt from the poem Why Migrant? by Bangladeshi construction worker Bikas Nath, which won the 2016 Migrant Worker Poetry Competition (reproduced from Songs From A Distance, an anthology of poems submitted to the competition). 

 

Produced by: Melissa Sim and Ernest Luis
