    S1E74: Climate dictionary: What is the voluntary carbon market? - Green Pulse Apr 03, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

    In March, a digital platform that allows businesses to buy and sell carbon credits was launched by Singapore-based carbon exchange and marketplace Climate Impact X (CIX). This development comes amid growing interest in carbon credits from companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

    By buying one carbon credit from elsewhere, emitters can offset one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions from their total emissions. But will this promote greenwashing among corporations? And how effective are carbon projects at removing carbon from the atmosphere?

    In this episode, The Straits Times environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the voluntary carbon market with Mr Mikkel Larsen, the chief executive of Climate Impact X (CIX) - a Singapore-based carbon exchange and marketplace.

    Highlights (click/tap above):

    01:37 Who is buying carbon credits?

    02:49 How carbon credits from nature-based projects benefit the global environment?

    7:38 Can the supply of carbon credits catch up with demand?

    10:40 Are emissions reductions from carbon credits reliable?

    14:00 How can platforms like CIX’s help to prevent corporate greenwashing?

    S1E63: Will Smith and Chris Rock: Unpacking that shocking Oscars slap: #PopVultures Mar 31, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene.

    The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, took place over last weekend in Los Angeles, Hollywood and despite historic wins and a Beyonce performance, all anyone can talk about since is The Slap. The night's Best Actor winner Will Smith marched on stage to slap comedian Chris Rock after he made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

    #PopVultures host Jan Lee unpacks everything related to the shocking moment - sharing how it was watching the event unfold in real time and addressing baseless claims about how The Slap was staged (it's not). Jan also sheds some light on the online discourse surrounding Will Smith and his marriage prior to the Oscars, and discusses issues that The Slap has brought up.

    Highlights (tap/click above):

    00:53 An introduction and recap of The Slap, including the immediate online reaction and the subsequent fallout

    12:28 Why there is no way The Slap was a staged publicity stunt

    19:40 Context on Will Smith, his marriage and the Smiths' history with Chris Rock

    26:12 How The Slap has surfaced complicated and nuanced issues relating to comedy, toxic masculinity, race and the Academy's own troubled history

    35:01 Final thoughts - how this incident marred the entire Oscars night

    S1E62: Why we need to talk about Kanye's personal issues: #PopVultures Mar 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene.
    Music's biggest night - the Grammys - are just around the corner as the ceremony prepares to take place on Monday morning (April 4) Singapore time. But one notable nominee - with five nominations going into the ceremony - has been banned from performing and that is rapper Kanye West, now officially known as Ye.

    The Grammys confirmed they made the decision in light of the 44-year-old's "concerning online behavior". Kanye, who divorced reality show star Kim Kardashian in February 2021, has embarked on a disturbing campaign of harassment and violent threats in an attempt to win back his former wife ever since Kardashian began publicly dating comedian Pete Davidson.
    #PopVultures host Jan Lee gives a run-down of what has happened and her own observations. Why has the media, fans and the public at large, found it so difficult and uncomfortable to talk about Kanye and his harassment of Kim? How does public branding of Kanye and Kim as individuals, but also as a couple, tie into this situation of abuse and intimidation?
    Highlights (tap/click above):
    02:35 An introduction to Kanye and Kim
    05:01 Kanye's mental health issues and his attempt at running for President of the United States
    09:27 A recount of what has happened since Kim began dating Pete Davidson
    19:24 Why has it been so difficult to talk about Kanye and his harassment of Kim?
