During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down Conversation on the Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen (https://www.vanmediagroup.com) and co-host Neil Humphreys celebrate the artists shaping Singapore’s cultural identity as we welcome Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Boon Teck and Young Artist Award recipient Daryl Qilin Yam (https://www.straitstimes.com/life/arts/enduring-love-for-their-art) to the studio. Their achievements are part of a landmark moment: seven arts practitioners were honoured at the Istana in 2025, a fitting tribute in Singapore’s 60th year of independence. Goh Boon Teck, a visionary of Singapore’s bilingual theatre scene, has spent over three decades crafting bold, visually arresting productions. His iconic work Titoudao—staged globally and adapted for television—remains a defining example of how Singaporean stories can resonate across cultures and mediums. Joining him is writer and arts leader Daryl Qilin Yam, whose work at Sing Lit Station (https://www.singlitstation.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1340954107&gbraid=0AAAAADBJcqvdkZCVJ1aBRTu2LrCfzxtL7&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvOjKBhC9ARIsAFvz5lgevsZSDrC2zyfbIJ-NZudL9-aWeOhiqsChV0tsjJ2dj-VvPQA0sW8aAsTQEALw_wcB) has strengthened the literary ecosystem through initiatives like “Book a Writer,” nurturing both emerging talent and future readers. Together, they reflect the deep roots and vibrant future of Singapore’s arts landscape. See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
