We're right smack in between the Mid-Autumn Festival and Deepavali, so what better time than to talk about festivities? Join us, Anelka, Luca, Nico and Yakoob as we delve into these two festivities and learn more about the specific traditions across Singapore, Spain and Italy; from the Spanish 12 grapes New Year's tradition to tea and mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival.

After, we follow up festivities to something in its vicinity: superstition. We've all heard plenty of them growing up. Don't trim nails at night or it's bad luck to see a black cat; we share our countless superstitions with each other and learn the origins of some -- some have interesting backstories. You wouldn't want to miss it!
Plus plenty of chitchat (that sometimes happens after the mics are turned off) in between. Stay tuned and happy listening!

Note:
If you or anyone you know require support to quit vaping, you can contact the Health Promotion Board's Quitline at 1800-438-2000. You can safely dispose e-vaporisers in the various red amnesty bins island-wide.
If you're an NUS student, the University Counselling Service (UCS) offers counselling and addiction support services for those who need help to quit vaping.
Remember: You wouldn't be penalised if you seek help; ditch the vape before the law catches up to you.
