  • Great conversations!

    I’ve been hooked since discovering the YLB pod during the 2025 elections interviews and coverage of the various candidates. This is a pod that all Singaporeans should listen and catch up on the current topics in Singapore. I dare say, “Better than MSM!” Keep those conversations going!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#812: WP’s Kenneth Tiong on The “STUPID” Comment & Why He Left Finance for Opposition Politics
Q: Can you walk us through the moment you described as fiery in Parliament and how you balance message with tone?
Kenneth explains his approach to messaging—focusing on one or two core messages, using robust and direct language for urgent policies, while being prepared to apologize if a line crosses OB markers, as he did in the Chee Hong Tat incident.
#812: WP’s Kenneth Tiong on The “STUPID” Comment & Why He Left Finance for Opposition Politics
Q: What is your stance on strategic investment and how should Singapore manage capital to back local firms?
He argues for more strategic investment roles for capital, including a potential Exim Bank, to ensure capital supports Singaporean companies expanding internationally, rather than leaving them to navigate purely commercial, opaque structures.
#808 - LKY School Dean on Closing the Straits of Malacca & Why The US is NOT in Decline
Q: Is the US in decline, and what does that mean for global order?
The guest argues that the US remains powerful with a deep reservoir of influence, even if perceived decline is overstated, and that shifts will create a more diffused international system.
#808 - LKY School Dean on Closing the Straits of Malacca & Why The US is NOT in Decline
Q: What does it mean when conflict happens in the Middle East for Singapore and the region?
It means analyzing how great powers' choices ripple outward, affecting energy, security, and diplomacy for small states like Singapore.
#801: Are We Doing Enough for Our Ageing Parents? ft. Andy Seet
Q: How is AI being used in elder care, and what are the limits?
AI is used to recognize faces, tailor interactions, and analyze data to improve services, but it is intended to complement human care and preserve the human touch, not replace staff.
