Hello, friends! This is the first episode for the year 2025!In this special episode, I sit down with Cikgu Ahmad Fayzal / "Cikgu Emmet Menulis", a passionate educator and storyteller, to reflect on his remarkable teaching journey that began in the early '90s when he was posted to SK Lichok, deep in the heart of Sarawak.As a Malay from West Malaysia, Cikgu Emmet shares what it was like being an outsider learning to live and work among the Iban community, and how embracing local culture helped him understand, respect, and eventually become part of the very fabric of the community he served.We also talk about what it means to be a teacher in the 21st century, especially in a world dominated by AI, digital tools, and a shift away from traditional chalk-and-talk methods. Cikgu Emmet emphasizes how teachers today are no longer just providers of knowledge, but facilitators of learning, and shares actionable tips on staying productive and relevant in the classroom.And finally, we dive into a critical issue affecting our students today: the rising obsession with becoming content creators, sometimes even at the cost of completing SPM. We explore how the Ministry of Education can play a role by introducing structured programs like podcast or digital content competitions in schools.This episode is a must-listen for educators, students, and anyone who believes in the power of storytelling, cultural empathy, and educational reform."Real Life Stories, From Real People" - this is the barryanakbarim podcast.

Hello, friends! How you doing? :) I had the privilege to be invited as a guest for REDfm RTM English Sarawak's show called #34je, RTM's radio segment in celebrating stories of Sarawakians. Nad Kamal, the announcer and producer has invited me to share on my thoughts regarding podcasting, the scene in Sarawak, and a brief sharing on the mental health issues in Sarawak and how the barryanakbarim podcast could play its role in championing the cause of goodwill in highlighting mental health issues. Follow Nad Kamal on Instagram @nadehakamaludin - I wish I could record stories of my late grandfather as the first who brought in Christianity to my kampung. - Podcasting in general is huge, especially in West Malaysia, Singapore and Sabah. - Podcasting is another catalyst for the creative industry in Sarawak. - Championing the growth and well being of mental health issues as it definitely needs the attention. - I listen to OKLETSGO, Kinabalu Podcast, MyLustre at Work, Keluar Sekejap to get inspired. - Be knowledgeable as a host for your podcast.

Greetings, friends! Episode 44 here. Some would say the number 4 as "bad luck", some would see it as "good luck", or if you're like me a neutral you'll be like "meh", then here's an invisible high-5 from me to you. Anyway, this episode brings a conversation from an emcee to another, a host to another, and a podcaster to another. Meet Joachim, a friend and a friendship that blooms through podcasting. Knowing him first as an emcee for events that I have previously attended, last year was the start of the friendship as I appeared as a guest of Fuel Good Podcast hosted by him and produced by Peter, also another good friend of mine with the same passion for podcasting. So, friends. Enjoy this episode as we delve deep into his life as an emcee, a podcaster, how eloquent and intelligent he is with his thoughts and how stories of people inspire him to be a better person - hence, the podcast.

What is up (and hopefully not down), friends?!! Hopefully all is well on your side! Episode 43 features myself with two of my closest buddies in the whole world. Anne whom I've known since 7 and Hakim whom I've been friends with since 16, have decided to take the down memory lane and revisit some of our childhood and teen memories, some are core enough as reminders that our lives were once young, free and liberating.  Get your XpressMusic, Friendster coding generators and Vans shoes ready for a back-to-the-past episode!
