Glenn van Zutphen on Saturday Mornings with Neil Humphreys

🌍MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with H.E. Tadeusz Chomicki, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Singapore; a seasoned diplomat with deep experience in Asia as well as European security, global trade, and the shifting geopolitical landscape. Ambassador Chomicki unpacks the Poland–Singapore relationship, a partnership grounded in innovation, defence cooperation, and shared commitments to stability and open markets. We explore what’s trading between the two nations today and where new opportunities are emerging as Europe undergoes rapid transformation. He also addresses how Poland’s geopolitical position shapes its diplomacy, and why Southeast Asia matters more than ever to Warsaw. Finally, we end on a personal note: what he appreciates about living in Singapore, and how the city’s dynamism mirrors Poland’s own spirit of reinvention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3 The Wide Angle, we explore how businesses—big and small—are rewriting the rules of corporate purpose. Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Masami Sato, Co‑Founder & CEO of B1G1 to discuss how this Singapore‑based social enterprise is reshaping philanthropy for companies around the world. B1G1 (Buy1Give1) enables SMEs to embed giving directly into everyday business activities. Whether it’s a sale, an invoice, or a new client, each transaction can trigger a micro‑donation, sometimes as little as one cent to one of 450+ vetted, high‑impact projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With over 396 million giving impacts created across more than 40 countries, B1G1 is proving that small, consistent actions can drive massive global change. Masami shares her personal journey—from teacher to natural food chef to award‑winning entrepreneur—and how her global travels shaped her philosophy of purpose‑driven business and how Singapore companies are using B1G1 to build culture, trust, and long‑term social value.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍 It's hard to imagine that up to 100,000 Singaporeans don't have enough to eat each day. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ron Stride, Chairman, and Chin Bottinelli, Guarantor at Food From the Heart.  This week on the Singapore Home Brew, we spotlight one of Singapore’s most impactful community organisations to share how the charity is nourishing lives and strengthening social resilience across the island. Founded in 2003 by Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer, Food From the Heart began with a simple mission: redirect surplus bread to families who needed it. Today, that mission has grown into a nationwide movement supporting 23,000 households and distributing 164,000 food packs annually from schoolchildren to seniors. We explore the rising urgency of food insecurity in Singapore, where studies show that over 10% of households have experienced difficulty accessing nutritious meals. Despite improvements post‑pandemic, nearly half of affected families report no change in their circumstances. Food From the Heart steps into this gap with sustainable, long‑term programmes designed to provide consistent, reliable support. From bread runs to community pantries, from volunteer mobilisation to corporate partnerships, this is a story of compassion, innovation, and the belief that no one in Singapore should go hungry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍 This week’s International News Review unpacks the geopolitical and economic developments shaping markets and policy across Asia. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ethan Wu, Asia Business & Finance Editor at The Economist. We begin in Washington, where a panel of judges has struck down President Trump’s attempt to impose sweeping 10% blanket tariffs—a ruling that could reshape global trade flows and corporate strategy at a time of rising protectionism. Then, we look ahead to the highly anticipated Xi–Trump meeting, a pivotal moment for US–China relations with implications for supply chains, technology access, and regional stability. From there, we turn to Japan, where Toyota’s latest earnings reveal a US$4 billion hit from the war in Iran—but also a surprising bright spot: EV sales are set to more than double next year. With 58% of new cars registered in Singapore now electric, Toyota’s pivot matters more than ever to local drivers and the broader mobility ecosystem. And finally, a cultural shift in Tokyo: the government is ditching strict office dress codes and encouraging workers to wear shorts amid the energy crunch. What does this say about changing workplace norms in Asia?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍This week, the broadcasting world lost a giant — a man whose influence reaches every newsroom, every screen, and every listener tuned into MoneyFM89.3. Ted Turner was the bold, controversial, visionary founder of CNN; he died at the age of 87 on 6 May 2026. His audacity didn’t just change television; it changed how the entire world receives news. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Michael Holmes, former CNN International anchor and correspondent for 28 years from Atlanta. Michael is one of countless journalists who lived Turner’s legacy from the inside. He helps us understand the man behind the revolution — and why Ted Turner’s impact on global storytelling remains unmatched.  From launching the world’s first 24‑hour news channel in 1980 to building TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies, Turner reshaped global media, sports, entertainment, and even environmental philanthropy. He was called many things — “The Mouth of the South,” “Captain Outrageous,” a disruptor, a genius — but above all, he was a builder of institutions that still define modern journalism. We look at the life and legacy of a man I had the privilege to meet several times during my years at CNN International including a memorable dinner with him when I served as President of the Atlanta Press Club in 2003-2004.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’ Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to talk to Chef Vicky Ratnani and Chef Raj Kumar about the lesser-know Sindi indian cuisine. A small sub-segment of "indian food" - Sindi came out of the partion of India and Pakistan. Recently for three nights in Singapore, Firangi Superstar restaurant hosted one of the most exciting culinary collaborations of the year brining Sindi cooking to town. Chef Vicky — one of India’s most celebrated chefs, former Executive Chef of the Queen Mary 2, TV personality, and award‑winning author — presented a deeply personal menu rooted in Sindhi cuisine, the food he grew up eating but rarely cooked professionally. Dishes like Sai Bhaji and Aloo Tukk Bravas showcased heritage elevated through modern technique. Chef Raj, Group Head Chef of The Dandy Collection, shares how Firangi Superstar is pushing Indian cuisine into new territory — bold, immersive, and unapologetically inventive. Together, they discuss the global rise of regional Indian cuisine, why Singapore is ready for this shift, and how events like the Sindhi Supper Club are rewriting expectations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to break down global developments shaping markets, diplomacy, and public opinion. We begin with President Donald Trump, who says the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire has been extended by three weeks, but insists he won’t “rush” any deal with Iran. This as his negotiators are in Pakistan for another round with Iran; the geopolitical stakes remain high. Then to football and controversy. With Iran’s World Cup status under scrutiny, with Trump’s “Special Envoy” suggesting Italy could replace Iran in the games. Sports ministers say it’s “not appropriate”.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment, Ravi and Aparna Sonnad, co‑founders of Enabling Leadership join Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys.

Enabling Leadership is a Singapore‑based organisation transforming children’s lives through football, LEGO‑based learning, and the arts. Their programs are EL Play, EL Build, and EL Create and are now reaching 10,000 children across multiple countries. In Singapore, EL Play is already running in three public schools in Yishun, with plans to expand and introduce EL Build next year. Each child’s full program costs just USD 120 (SGD 400), covering sessions, journals, and a sports kit. Ravi and Aparna share powerful stories of how their programs help children — especially girls — build confidence, leadership, and resilience. They also discuss how companies in Singapore can partner through employee engagement and sponsorships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to break down a fast‑moving geopolitical landscape that is reshaping global markets, diplomacy, and Asia’s strategic posture. We begin in the Middle East, where Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is now fully open (or maybe closed, we're not sure) during the ceasefire, easing immediate fears over global oil supply disruptions. But with tensions still simmering, the world is watching closely to see whether this fragile opening holds. Back home, Singapore is responding to a US probe into alleged forced labour, with the Ministry of Trade and Industry emphasising that Singapore takes such allegations seriously and maintains strict labour standards. Steve explains what this means for Singapore’s reputation, trade relationships, and global supply chain confidence. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the United States have signed a new defence pact, signalling deepening military cooperation at a time of rising regional competition. We explore what this means for ASEAN security dynamics. And finally, a story that has gripped South Korea: "Nuisance Influencer” American YouTuber Ramsey Khalid Ismael — known for provocative stunts — has been sentenced to six months in a Korean prison for disrespecting a memorial to wartime sexual slavery victims.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes H.E. Anneke Adema, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Singapore and Brunei. She's a seasoned diplomat whose career has been defined by her commitment to international cooperation, inclusivity, and the rule of law. Ambassador Adema reflects on 60 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Netherlands, a milestone she recently celebrated by hosting a special lunch at her residence one where guests had to “work for their lunch,” a playful nod to the Dutch spirit of collaboration. She shares why the Netherlands considers Singapore one of its most important partners in Asia, and how both countries’ shared worldview open economies, innovation, sustainability, and multilateralism continues to anchor the relationship.  We explore the deep ties between the two nations: from trade and maritime cooperation to green transition efforts, digital innovation, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Adema also discusses her priorities since arriving in 2022, the evolving role of diplomacy in a more uncertain world, and how the Netherlands is strengthening partnerships across Southeast Asia.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Anthony Lu, Regional Director of South East Asia and Greater China, to unpack Booking.com’s Traveller Review Awards 2026 and what they reveal about travel trends, guest expectations, and Asia’s rising influence. We explore the global state of hospitality through the lens of  one of the world’s largest recognition programmes based on 370 million verified guest reviews. The 2026 awards highlight a strong year for Singapore: 229 local partners were recognised up from 2025 with an impressive average review score of 8.6 across more than 362,000 guest reviews. Hotels once again dominated the list, underscoring Singapore’s reputation as a world‑class urban destination. Iconic properties such as Park Royal Collection Marina Bay, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Carlton Hotel Singapore, and Paradox Singapore Merchant Court were among this year’s standout winners. Anthony shares what’s driving Asia’s hospitality boom, how destinations can craft more welcoming and inclusive travel experiences, and what sets the region apart in service culture.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Hui Ching Tan, Head of Research Insights APJ at Qualtrics, to unpack how AI‑simulated consumers are changing the way organisations understand their customers. We explore a huge shift happening inside one of the world’s biggest industries market research and why Singapore companies may be underestimating how fast AI is transforming it. Worth over US$150 billion, the research industry has long relied on surveys, focus groups and weeks‑long studies. But Qualtrics’ latest data shows a new reality: 78% of researchers already use Agentic AI 72% expect AI to take full responsibility for key research phases 70% believe AI agents will run more than half of all research end‑to‑end These AI “digital twins” built from real consumer behaviour, preferences and purchase history can test messages, products and experiences in hours instead of months, without fatigue, bias or drop‑off. Hui Ching explains what this means for Singapore’s banks, healthcare providers and retailers, especially amid a talent crunch in research and analytics. She also shares why companies that adopt synthetic data and agentic AI now will gain an insight advantage that competitors will struggle to catch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen. We begin with US President Donald Trump’s sharp criticism of Iran, accusing Tehran of doing a “very poor job” managing oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint critical to global energy supply. With tensions already high from the ongoing conflict, Trump’s remarks add fresh uncertainty to an already fragile situation. In Washington, First Lady Melania Trump made headlines of her own, publicly denying any links to Jeffrey Epstein and calling for congressional hearings for survivors, a rare and forceful intervention that has drawn widespread attention. Across the region, China’s President Xi Jinping held a rare meeting with KMT leader Cheng Li-wun, the first such visit in a decade. Both sides emphasized a desire for cross‑strait peace, even as geopolitical pressures continue to mount. And finally, a lighter moment from China: a viral video of robot boxers swinging enthusiastically but landing no punches, prompting questions about the state of AI‑driven sports entertainment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we dive into one of the fastest‑growing categories in consumer goods: "better‑for‑you beverages." Joining us in the studio is Julian Koh, Founder and Managing Director of Supergulp, a Southeast Asian sparkling prebiotic soda brand that’s riding the wave of functional drink innovation. Now, Southeast Asia is shaping its own version of the trend — one that blends prebiotics, kombucha, protein, creatine, and adaptogen‑led drinks into a broader wellness‑driven category. Julian shares why consumers are shifting away from traditional sugary sodas toward beverages that promise gut health, sustained energy, and cleaner labels. Supergulp, launched in Malaysia in 2024 and now available in Singapore and Indonesia, is part of this evolution.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we sit down with one of Singapore’s brightest sporting stars — Amita Berthier, two‑time Olympian, SEA Games champion, and the first Singaporean fencer ever to qualify for the Olympics through a qualifying tournament. At just 25, Amita has already carved out a remarkable career: a Junior World Cup title, three SEA Games individual foil golds, a 2018 Asian Games bronze, and most recently, a 2025 Asian Fencing Championships team bronze alongside Maxine Wong, Cheung Kemei and Stephanie Lee.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s  joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Melissa Lim, General Manager and Executive Producer of The Necessary Stage and the Singapore Fringe Festival, to discuss the urgent fundraising campaign needed to keep the 2027 Fringe alive. Since 2005, the Fringe has been one of Singapore’s most important platforms for socially engaged art. It has commissioned over 1,000 local artists and groups, presenting international works, and creating safe spaces for conversations on mental health, inequality, climate change, migrant workers, and identity. But with the loss of its long‑time title donor in 2025, rising post‑COVID costs, and a cautious corporate philanthropy climate, the festival is now facing a funding cliff. Despite a successful community‑driven campaign that kept the 2026 edition afloat, the current crowdfunding effort has raised just over $9,000 of the $80,000 needed, with the deadline looming on 31 March. Melissa shares why the Fringe matters — its commitment to emerging creators, accessibility for disabled audiences, and its belief that art must remain affordable and inclusive. She also explains what’s at stake if the festival disappears, especially in a year when even major theatre companies are struggling to survive.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s  Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys discuss one of Singapore’s most urgent workforce challenges: why so many Gen Z employees feel emotionally disconnected at work — and what companies can do about it. Joining us is Ahteram Uddin, Growth Director for Asia & MENA at Kahoot!, to discuss findings from the newly released "2026 Kahoot! Gen Z Report: Singapore Edition – Transition, Tension, and Talent Retention." According to the report, 51% of Gen Z employees say they feel engaged at work, but a striking 49% fall into the disengaged or “neutral middle” — a vulnerable group that is neither thriving nor fully checked out. This “neutral middle” includes 29% who feel neither engaged nor disengaged, and 20% who report being actively disengaged, revealing a fragile emotional connection to the workplace. The study highlights what Gen Z says they need: more structured onboarding (45%), clearer expectations (44%), and greater access to mentors or peer coaches (40%). They also want training that is more engaging (37%), more interactive (31%), and less passive and time‑consuming. Ahteram explains how gamified, interactive learning can bridge the gap between classroom-style structure and corporate reality — and why supporting Gen Z is now business‑critical for Singapore’s talent‑driven economy.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys spotlight a powerful homegrown initiative reshaping what adulthood can look like for persons with special needs. Joining us in the studio are Jean Chan, founder of Cerebral and the Me2 Centre of Inclusive Arts, and Mabel Lim, Director of Strategy & Inclusive Arts at Cerebral. For many families, the question looms large: What happens when a child with special needs turns 18? The Me2 Centre was created to answer that gap — offering a lifelong, inclusive space where adults with disabilities can continue to learn, express themselves, and build community through the arts. Born from Cerebral’s 14‑year legacy in enrichment and events, Me2 uses the arts not as an activity, but as a transformative platform for confidence, communication, and connection. Their programmes span theatre, dance, visual arts, filmmaking, digital performance, and community living skills — all designed using Universal Design for Learning and strengths‑based approaches. Jean and Mabel share how Me2’s Inclusive Arts and ArtAbilities programmes support both mainstream learners and persons with disabilities, while real‑world showcases, exhibitions, and performances bring their artists into the heart of Singapore’s creative landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys  from Sydney’s “No Kings Rally” with a front‑row view of political sentiment in Australia — before diving into a dramatic week of global developments reshaping markets, geopolitics, and Asia’s economic outlook. We begin with the Iran conflict, where reports suggest a 15‑point US peace proposal delivered via Pakistan. But with Tehran dismissing Washington as “negotiating with itself” and Israeli officials calling the plan “beautiful on paper,” prospects for de‑escalation remain slim. Meanwhile, President Trump insists Iran “wants a deal so badly,” adding yet another layer of uncertainty. The effects on countries across Asia are immediate and severe. The war has triggered the largest energy supply disruption in modern history, with the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck pushing governments across Asia into emergency mode. Nations from Japan to India are scrambling to secure fuel, while the Philippines has declared a national energy emergency as shortages ripple through households and industries. We also examine the LaGuardia Airport crash, raising fresh alarms about America’s overstretched air‑traffic‑control system, and President Trump’s latest headline‑grabber: signing US currency and receiving the inaugural “America First Award.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Ambassador Beata Stoczyńska, Executive Director of the Asia‑Europe Foundation (ASEF), to unpack what this unique intergovernmental organisation actually does — and why its work matters more than ever in 2026. Created under the Asia‑Europe Meeting (ASEM), ASEF is the only institution dedicated to strengthening ties between the two regions through dialogue, collaboration, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Stoczyńska shares how ASEF’s multinational team has delivered over 280 projects with more than 230 partners, connecting policymakers, students, cultural practitioners, academics, and civil society leaders. We explore ASEF’s priorities for 2026, centred on three major themes shaping the global agenda:1) A human‑centred approach to cooperation and development2) Digitalisation, and the opportunities and risks it brings3) The green transition, where Asia and Europe must work together to meet climate goals Ambassador Stoczyńska also highlights why ASEF’s role as a bridge is so critical today. With geopolitical tensions rising and global challenges becoming more complex, ASEF provides a rare neutral platform where Asia and Europe can exchange ideas, build trust, and co‑create solutions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we celebrate the extraordinary life and legacy of Dr Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most influential voices for wildlife and conservation. Joining us in the studio are Carmen Pang, the Jane Goodall Institute Singapore’s Executive Director.  On Good Friday, 3 April, which would have been Dr Goodall’s birthday, JGIS will host “A Night to Remember Dr Jane Goodall” at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Set by the serene Eco Lake, the evening features a special outdoor screening of her acclaimed documentary — an invitation for Singaporeans to gather, picnic under the stars, and reflect on the values she championed: compassion, courage, and coexistence with nature. Carmen shares why this tribute matters now more than ever, especially as conservation challenges intensify across the region.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys break down a turbulent week in global affairs — one with direct implications for Singapore and Southeast Asia. We begin with the widening Middle East war, now triggering what analysts call the largest supply disruption in oil markets in history, sending crude above US$100 and rattling global supply chains. For Singapore and the region, the impact is immediate: rising energy costs, inflationary pressure, and heightened vulnerability as the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted. ASEAN ministers have already warned of economic shocks, with governments scrambling to conserve energy and stabilise markets. Next, we examine the new US Section 301 investigations, which could lead to steep tariffs on major trading partners — including Singapore. These probes into “excess capacity” and forced‑labour concerns raise the risk of higher duties and supply‑chain uncertainty across Asia, just as the region grapples with energy shocks. Finally, we turn to the unexpected geopolitical twist in sport: world leaders — including President Trump — can’t agree on whether Iran should play in the 2026 World Cup, sparking global backlash and raising questions about politics overshadowing the world’s biggest tournament.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys International Women’s Day 2026 with a conversation that goes beyond celebration and dives into the real work still needed to achieve gender equality in Singapore. Our guest is Lim Shoon Yin, Executive Director of AWARE, the country’s leading women’s rights and gender‑equality organisation. Since 1985, AWARE has been at the forefront of identifying and dismantling the structural, cultural, and economic barriers that hold women back — from workplace discrimination and sexual harassment to the poverty experienced by older women and gaps in reproductive rights. Shoon Yin shares why these barriers persist, how they affect individuals of all genders, and why women continue to bear the brunt of them. We explore AWARE’s multi‑pronged approach: rigorous research and advocacy, education and corporate training through Catalyse, and direct support services via CARE, which provides counselling, legal advice, case management, and befriending for women in crisis. Shoon Yin also discusses the organisation’s ongoing work to shift public mindsets, strengthen laws, and build workplaces where everyone can thrive.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Joleen Loh, Curator, National Gallery Singapore to talk about their latest exhibit "Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise". The exhibition brings together over 45 major artworks and more than 110 rarely seen archival materials from five groundbreaking Southeast Asian women artists: Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand). Many of these works are being shown in Singapore for the first time. "Fear No Power" is the Gallery’s first comparative exhibition of women artists from across the region, a rare opportunity to see how each artist used art as a form of resistance, social engagement, and collective care. Through performance, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, these women challenged gender norms, confronted political realities, and reimagined the worlds they lived in. Joleen shares how the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and uncover the layered meanings behind each work,  from personal histories to national narratives. It’s a powerful reminder of how art can question, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see ourselves and our societies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys unpack a fast‑moving and deeply unsettling set of global developments — from the widening Iran conflict to political shifs inside the Trump Administration and Singapore's global bagel standing! We begin with the Iran war, which has now spilled across Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait, the UAE and the wider Gulf, with hundreds of drones targeting military and civilian sites. The conflict is no longer contained — it’s regional, persistent, and increasingly shaped by cheap, mass‑produced drones that are redefining modern warfare. Steve explains why these low‑cost weapons are so destabilising and what their proliferation means for global security. We look at the political drama in Washington: Kristi Noem’s exit from the Department of Homeland Security and the rise of Markwayne Mullin, a little‑known but fast‑ascending figure now thrust into the national spotlight. Steve explains who he is, why he matters, and what his emergence signals about the shifting dynamics inside the Trump administration. Finally, is Singapore's world bagel standing on the rise?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Jason Dasey — international TV and radio host, long‑time friend of the show, and the original “godfather” of Saturday Mornings — to the studio for a lively, wide‑ranging conversation on the week’s biggest stories. We begin with a look at Australian politics and the economy, where shifting voter sentiment, cost‑of‑living pressures, and regional dynamics continue to shape the national conversation. We also reflect on the passing of Neil Sedaka, the legendary singer‑songwriter behind classics like Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Calendar Girl, and Laughter in the Rain. Sedaka died at age 86, leaving behind a six‑decade career that produced multiple No. 1 hits and earned him a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Sedaka was a guest on the show in February 2019. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys mark the fourth anniversary of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine with a powerful conversation that blends diplomacy, documentary filmmaking, and frontline journalism. We welcome to the studio H.E. Kateryna Zelenko, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Singapore; Megumi Lim, director of the multi‑award‑winning documentary "Night Shift," and Thomas Peter, Pulitzer Prize‑winning Reuters senior reporter and war photographer who has spent years documenting the conflict. Following the Singapore premiere of "Night Shift at the One Voice for Ukraine" – Team Europe event on 24 February 2026, our guests reflect on the human cost of a war that continues to reshape global security and the lives of millions. Ambassador Zelenko shares Ukraine’s ongoing fight for sovereignty and the resilience of its people. Megumi Lim discusses the making of "Night Shift," a film that captures the quiet heroism of ordinary Ukrainians working through the darkness of war. Thomas Peter offers a rare, unfiltered look at life on the frontlines and the responsibility of bearing witness through photography.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys celebrate the women who make Singapore’s music scene pulse with creativity, courage, and community. Joining us in the studio are Michelle SgP, Founder of She Shines SG, and Deborah Jean Lee, multilingual vocalist, guitarist, and member of Flower Power — with a special live performance in the studio. She Shines SG returns with its third edition of the She Shines Music Festival, happening 8 March 2025 at Blackbird. Entirely powered by women on stage — from Gen Z newcomers to seasoned Boomer‑generation performers — the festival is a full‑day showcase of female musicians across genres: classical, pop, jazz, R&B, rock, and everything in between. Every band, every backing musician, every jam session is led by women. The 2026 edition shines a spotlight on multi‑hyphenate women shaping Singapore’s music community. New segments include the Sing Song Social Club – Women’s Day Edition (founded by Aarika Lee), Saylah Presents for Gen Z artists, theatre‑maker and singer‑songwriter Ethel Yap, sound‑wellness artist Amanda Ling, Latin jazz performer Zsa Zsa, and folk veteran Cat Ong paired with rising young musicians. The night closes with a high‑energy rock finale by Chop Swee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys journey back to one of the most dramatic chapters in Singapore’s wartime history. Joining us in the studio are Goh Chour Thong, Director (International & Museum Relations) at the National Heritage Board, and Jerome Lim, heritage veteran and guide for two of this year’s signature programmes. For the first time, Battle for Singapore 2026 invites the public to retrace the actual maritime evacuation routes used by civilians fleeing Japanese bombardment in February 1942. The new programme, Passages at Last Light, takes participants across land, sea and even “air”, with special‑access tours to Tengah Air Base—once the first command centre of the Japanese forces. From boat rides along Singapore’s southern waters to walking the same paths taken by desperate families, this immersive experience brings to life the fear, resilience and human stories behind the Fall of Singapore. Chour Thong shares how NHB curated more than 30 programmes this year—from talks and exhibitions to hands‑on family activities like LEGO “rebuild Singapore” stations at Changi Chapel and Museum. Jerome offers a glimpse into the lesser‑known narratives uncovered in his tours, including the Naval Volunteer Reserve and Cashin House’s role as a witness to invasion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Christine Fellowes Co‑Founder and Chair of NINEby9, and board director at National Australia Bank and GuocoLand. Christine joins us to unpack the findings of NINEby9’s latest research report, The Moment of Truth: AI and the Future of Women in the Workplace—a landmark study examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping women’s careers across Asia‑Pacific. Founded in 2021, NINEby9 is a Singapore‑based research and advocacy organisation dedicated to advancing gender equity in the workforce. Christine explains why this moment in the AI evolution is especially critical: early signs already show a regression in women’s career progression, driven by unequal access to training, a widening skills gap, and a disconnect between HR and technology leaders. We explore how AI could either accelerate opportunity or deepen inequality, depending on how organisations respond. Christine discusses the importance of C‑suite alignment, inclusive training environments, and the urgent need to prepare Gen Z women for a rapidly shifting job landscape. She also shares practical actions boards and leaders can take—grounded in NINEby9’s research—to measure progress and build a future where women are not left behind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys on the Wide World Segment as they we sit down with Dr Samir Puri, former UK diplomat and author of "Westlessness", to explore one of the most urgent geopolitical questions of our era: Is global power shifting from West to East—and what does that really mean? Dr Puri’s book arrives at a moment of profound global upheaval. With Donald Trump back in the White House, the Russia‑Ukraine war grinding into its fourth year, China’s economic momentum slowing, and far‑right movements gaining traction across Europe, the traditional anchors of Western influence look increasingly unstable. In Westlessness, Dr Puri argues that while wealth has undeniably been flowing eastward—towards China, India, Indonesia and other rising powers—the story is far more complex when viewed through demographic, military, cultural, and technological lenses. He examines whether the West, long accustomed to setting global norms, will willingly relinquish its privileged position, and whether the East is ready—or even willing—to assume a leadership role in a more diverse, multipolar world. Nothing about this transition is linear or predictable. Dr Puri helps us understand the forces reshaping the global order and what it means for businesses, policymakers, and individuals navigating an increasingly fragmented landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys step into a world where insects tower over us. Joining us in the studio are Honor Harger, Vice President of the ArtScience Museum, and Foo Maosheng, Curator of the Cryogenic Collection and Insecta Senior Scientific Officer at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. They take us inside Insects: "Microsculptures Magnified", ArtScience Museum’s first major exhibition of the year and the Southeast Asian debut of award‑winning photographer Levon Biss. Thirty seven magnification portraits created in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, the exhibition transform beetles, flies, wasps, and other tiny creatures into monumental artworks up to seven feet tall. Colours, textures, and anatomical structures invisible to the naked eye are revealed in astonishing detail. Beyond the art, the exhibition invites visitors to dig deeper into the natural world through interactive displays, real specimens, and behind‑the‑scenes insights into Biss’ meticulous photographic process. Maosheng shares how Singapore’s own insect biodiversity—often misunderstood or dismissed as “pests”—plays essential roles in our ecosystems, and how public education can help shift perceptions and even overcome fears.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Tracie Pang, co‑founder of Pangdemonium and director of their latest production, "Force Majeure", opening at the Victoria Theatre from 6–15 March. In this world‑premiere adaptation by award‑winning playwright Stephanie Street, Force Majeure reimagines Chekhov’s Three Sisters for our time. The play follows three sisters and their brother—each yearning for a different life, each wrestling with love, loss, longing, and the quiet heartbreak of dreams deferred. Friends, lovers, and strangers drift in and out of their world, offering hope, disruption, and the possibility of rediscovering life again… even if it means tearing the family apart. With its blend of beauty, humour, and emotional truth, the production speaks to anyone who has ever felt stuck between who they are and who they hope to become. This premiere marks Pangdemonium’s final year. Tracie reflects on why the company is choosing to close this chapter after 14 years of bold, socially resonant theatre and what it means to end on their own terms. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack global developments that reveal how fast the political and economic landscape is shifting. We begin with the Prince Andrew–Epstein shockwave throughout the UK, US and beyond. Steve looks at the political, legal and diplomatic implications of this unprecedented moment, and what it says about accountability among the rich and powerful. We also examine President Trump’s newly launched “Board of Peace”, a high‑profile initiative with many unanswered questions. Steve breaks down what the board is designed to do—and what it may actually achieve. Finally, we reflect on the legacies of Robert Duvall, the Hollywood icon behind The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and Reverend Jesse Jackson, a civil rights giant whose influence shaped generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Tony O’Dempsey, spokesman for the Nature Society Singapore (NSS), and Albert Liu, Assistant Director (Conservation), to unpack an important environmental questions facing Singapore’s future: What happens to our green spaces when Paya Lebar Air Base is redeveloped? With redevelopment slated to begin in the 2030s, NSS has submitted a proposal urging the Urban Redevelopment Authority to retain 31% of the area—389 hectares—as green spaces. This includes forest patches, parkland, ponds, marshes, and one of Singapore’s last large “wild growth” landscapes stretching from the Serangoon River Forest to Tampines Quarry. Why this area matters: It is the largest near‑contiguous wild growth habitat in the northeast. It supports over 150 bird species, including migrants and woodland‑dependent species. It contains ecological “sources and sinks” that cannot be replaced by narrow green connectors. Its biodiversity value exceeds even the footprint of Tengah Forest Town. We explore whether retaining a third of the land is realistic, how ecological connectivity can be preserved, and what the trade offs that Singapore must make.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys dive into two centuries of maritime history with Mr Balakrishnan B, Commodore of the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)—Singapore’s oldest recreational club and one of Asia’s most storied yacht clubs. Celebrating its 200‑year milestone, RSYC’s history reads like a sweeping Singapore epic: royal visits from British monarchs, daring WWII escape voyages, long‑lost trophies rescued from wartime chaos, and the club’s remarkable post‑war revival. Commodore Balakrishnan shares how RSYC not only survived the Japanese Occupation but went on to shape sailing as a national sport—producing Olympic sailors, founding key sporting bodies, and hosting Singapore’s longest‑running regatta. We explore the club’s evolution from colonial-era prestige to a modern, inclusive maritime community. From its architectural heritage and multicultural leadership to its role in nation‑building—marked by President Yusof Ishak becoming its first Singaporean Patron in 1967—RSYC mirrors Singapore’s own transformation. Commodore Balakrishnan also offers a look at RSYC today: its marina, hotel, sailing programmes, community initiatives, and the vision behind its #RSYC200 Bicentennial celebrations, including the Charity Gala attended by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Sit‑Down on the Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak with the trio behind one of Singapore’s most influential storytelling powerhouses: Peh Shing Huei, Aaron Low, and Sue‑Ann Chia, co‑founders of Nutgraf. What began in 2015 as a small “writers‑for‑hire” outfit run by three former Straits Times journalists has grown into an award‑winning strategic content agency trusted with some of Singapore’s most significant political biographies—including the two‑volume autobiography of former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, Neither Civil Nor Servant: The Philip Yeo Story, and a long list of national‑level publications. The founders share how a simple business model—just the three of them writing everything themselves—evolved into a 23‑person agency producing videos, social media campaigns, strategic communications, and thought‑leadership content. Along the way, Nutgraf became the go‑to team for capturing complex policy stories, institutional histories, and the personal journeys of Singapore’s political heavyweights. We explore how they earned the trust to tell these stories, what it takes to write about leaders who shaped the nation, and how content consumption has changed over the past decade. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Morning Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys  we celebrate three remarkable individuals who pushed the limits of human endurance for causes far bigger than themselves. Joining us in the studio are Rob Schimek, Maria Sahota, and Lincoln Bode—all fresh from completing The World Marathon Challenge an astonishing challenge to run 7 marathons in 7 days across 7 continents. Rob and Maria share their journey running full marathons to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, and Lincoln completed 7 half‑marathons in honour of his father and to support Parkinson’s research. They all reflect on the physical and emotional toll of racing from Antarctica to Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and North America—all within a single week. Their story is one of grit, purpose, and the power of community. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys shine a spotlight on a powerful new film anthology that brings dignity, nuance, and humanity to one of Singapore’s most urgent social issues: dementia. We’re joined by Don Mendoza from Dementia Singapore, Michelle Chua, Executive Producer at the Lien Foundation, and filmmaker Gavin Lim, director of Another Go (重围). Together, they introduce “A Singapore Dementia Story”, a collection of five short films premiering at Temasek Shophouse. Featuring a stellar local cast—including Tan Kheng Hua, Lim Shi‑Ann, Peter Yu, Alaric Tay, Onn Shu Ann, Suhaimi Yusof, and A. Panneeirchelvam—the anthology explores the lived realities of dementia through genres as varied as romance, comedy, animation, drama, and thriller. We discuss how these films challenge stereotypes, reveal the unseen emotional labour of caregiving, and portray dementia not only as a medical condition but as a deeply human experience. From Gavin Lim’s uplifting drama Another Go, to Andie Chen’s romantic‑comedy‑infused What Day Is It?, each film draws from real stories and extensive conversations with caregivers and persons living with dementia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we tackle a deeply overlooked and often misunderstood issue: men experiencing spousal and other forms of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. In the studio are Nick Jonsson, men’s certified coach, supervised psychotherapist and counsellor, and Zina de Mercey, psychologist‑in‑training at Counseling Perspective. Nick and Zina explain why many men—especially those in senior or public‑facing roles—suffer in silence. Stigma, shame, and fear of reputational damage often prevent them from seeking help. Many worry they will be seen as the perpetrator rather than the victim, or that speaking up could jeopardise their careers, credibility, or even access to their children. They also highlight the emotional toll behind closed doors: isolation, high‑functioning distress, and post‑Covid coping behaviours such as increased alcohol use. In highly conflicted relationships, children are often caught in the middle, sometimes used—consciously or not—as leverage, creating unsafe family dynamics. Zina brings a holistic therapeutic lens, while Nick draws on years of supporting executives and leading men’s groups in Singapore. Together, they discuss why early intervention, peer support, and psychologically safe spaces are essential for prevention and healing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Brian Slattery, CEO and Founder of Teamwork Unlocked, and former Head of Culture Club at Google, for a refreshingly honest look at what really happens inside teams when different brains, strengths, and cognitive styles collide. Brian’s journey—from building Google Singapore’s legendary in‑office board‑game café to designing escape‑room‑powered leadership programmes—reveals how unconventional environments can expose hidden team dynamics far more effectively than traditional workshops. His late ADHD diagnosis also gives him a unique lens on leadership quirks, communication gaps, and the psychological safety teams need to thrive. Teamwork Unlocked now uses custom‑built escape rooms to observe how teams behave under pressure: who steps up, who withdraws, how decisions are made, and where trust breaks down. These insights form the basis of immersive programmes that help organisations strengthen collaboration, improve conversations, and unlock performance. Brian shares why many teams struggle not because of strategy, but because of unspoken assumptions, mismatched working styles, and a lack of shared language around trust. For adults navigating hybrid work, new teams, or leadership transitions, this conversation offers practical, human‑centred tools to build teams that actually work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
