In our lengthiest (and girthiest) episode yet, writer and former “angry young man” Alfian Sa’at joins us for one fierce hour to uncover his life as a poet, playwright and alleged agent of chaos. Alfian tells us about his multiple brushes with censorship, the importance of semantics and why the recent repeal of Section 377A reminds him of - wait for it - a ruined orgasm! We also discuss his fear of heights, his time in medical school and what a Facebook user like him really thinks of Gen Z.
