#GameOfTwoHalves Ep 70: Coronavirus affecting local sports; Joseph
Schooling's US gamble
13:24 mins
Synopsis: #GameOfTwoHalves is The Straits Times' weekly sports podcast that is out every Tuesday.
Money FM's Bernard Lim calls up ST assistant sports editor Rohit Brijnath and sports correspondent David Lee.
As Singapore moved its disease outbreak response up from yellow to
orange with the novel coronavirus spreading further within the country, some
sports are understandably choosing to play it safe, while others have
decided that life must go on, while taking some precautionary measures.
Our podcasters discuss the cancelled Feb 27-March 1 HSBC Women's World Championship that was scheduled to be played at the Sentosa Golf Club, the Netball Super
League openers, and the Singapore Slingers beating Fubon Braves in the Asean Basketball League in front of 1,800 fans at the OCBC Arena.
Singapore's only Olympic champion Joseph Schooling now moves to the
United States to train with former mentor Sergio Lopez as he prepares
to defend his 100m butterfly title at Tokyo 2020. Can he beat world-record holder Caeleb Dressel?

Back with a blast! Double Feature returns with the glittery violence of Birds of Prey and grimy tension of Uncut Gems.
Jonathan Roberts reviews Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn as we get into one of the best superhero films seen for some time. Certainly the best Joker-related film for some time (Since The Dark Knight, we're saying).
And for those who want to stay in, as many do these days, there's the Safdie Brothers' Netflix film Uncut Gems, starring the Independent Spirit Award-winning Adam Sandler. Not Oscar-winning. That one goes to The Joker. Well done, Joaquin.
As always, thanks for listening.

#PopVultures Ep 20: Celebrities in hot soup over coronavirus outbreak
20:48 mins
Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.
This week, the #PopVultures sound off on the celebrities mired in controversy due to the novel coronavirus outbreak that began in Wuhan.
Taiwanese singer Christine Fan was criticised after she lashed out at Taiwan's policy of halting surgical masks exports for a month, calling it inhumane. Taiwanese netizens criticised her for her eagerness to help China, despite keeping quiet about how Taiwan is still shut out of the World Health Organization due to Beijing's objections.
Jan Lee and Yeo Sam Jo explain how the controversy blew up, share their differing opinions on the saga, dive a little into Fan's history (of saying the wrong things at the wrong time) and Singapore's own history with severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars).
They also talk about how the novel coronavirus outbreak has been received around the world and the somewhat muted and often racist response to it overseas, especially when contrasted with how the Australian bushfires inspired an outpouring of support from Hollywood celebrities.
Tune in to the #PopVultures and to all our listeners: Stay safe, wash your hands, seek medical attention and wear a mask when you are ill.
Produced by: Jan Lee & Yeo Sam Jo

11:46 mins
Synopsis: Every Thursday, The Straits Times highlights the best films, concerts, restaurants and arts events you can catch in Singapore over the coming weeks.
This week, Money FM's Michelle Martin chats with ST's film correspondent John Lui about the dry comedy film Uncut Gems that is now streaming on Netflix.
In this bone-dry comedy about a guy who cannot catch a break, Adam Sandler’s Howard Ratner is a debt-ridden New York jeweller and gambling fiend who comes to own a rock of great value, one studded with the minerals of the film’s title.
Find out why John gives it a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
STFood online editor Hedy Khoo also comes on the show to tell us about Traditional (homemade) Pau & Tim Sum, a coffee shop that sells very tasty Chinese treats.

#GameOfTwoHalves Ep 69: Winners and losers in the EPL's mid-season window; Djokovic rises again Down Under
15:05 mins
Synopsis: A Game of Two Halves is The Straits Times' weekly sports podcast that is out every Tuesday.
Money FM's Bernard Lim is joined this week by ST sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz in the studio.
They call in to James Walton, sports business group leader for Deloitte South-east Asia, and ST assistant sports editor Rohit Brijnath - as they talk about the English Premier League and Australian Open.
Liverpool are 22 points clear at the top of the EPL but it is the transfer activity or inactivity of the chasing pack that has intrigued Walton, who makes sense of the moves and misses in the January window.
Brijnath, meanwhile, joins in from Melbourne and shares what caught his eye in Novak Djokovic's win over Dominic Thiem in the men's singles final at the Australian Open, and which match he enjoyed most.
