#PopVultures Ep 41: Discussing snubs and shocks at Star Awards and Golden Globes
27:07 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood industries.
This week, the #PopVultures cannot wait to talk about the awards season. After skipping a year due to Covid-19, local broadcaster Mediacorp's Star Awards is back and bigger than ever, with an expanded nominee slate to cover two years of drama series. Hosts Jan Lee and Yeo Sam Jo discuss who was snubbed and who they hope will win.
Once again, Sam Jo professes his love for Zoe Tay, while Jan shamelessly thirsts for Pierre Png.
Next, they hop over to Hollywood with the Golden Globes. They celebrate the historic nomination of three women in the Best Director category, wonder how the much-trashed Emily In Paris received two nods, and chew over the controversial categorisation of Lee Isaac Chung's Minari (starring Steven Yeun) as a foreign language film.
Tune in for all the awards chatter and a delightful dose of pop culture!

Green Pulse Ep 43: Future of Singapore’s patchwork forest
18:51 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Singapore’s forests have come under the spotlight lately, as debates over the fates of the Clementi and Dover forests continue. But these plots are not the first nor last of the country's forests to disappear.
Less than 1 per cent of primary forests now remain in Singapore, mainly in the central nature reserves. Meanwhile, the country continues to lose its secondary forests, with important patches already being cleared to make way for housing in Tengah and more wildlife parks in Mandai, for instance. Development works for the Cross Island MRT line would also see some forested patches being cleared.
In this episode, hear from National University of Singapore biology lecturer N. Sivasothi and ornithologist David Tan on the importance of forest plots all across the island. What do they mean for the country as the world warms and climate changes?
And with Singapore’s ambition to transform into a City in Nature, how well would this patchwork of green spaces serve the native animals which also call this island home?
