THE TITAN PODCAST
Hosted by THE TITAN
A Singaporean talk show where local influencers and politicians discuss national issues, career advice, and social trends.
This is a Singapore-focused panel discussion show that brings local influencers, subject-matter experts, and a notable number of ruling party politicians together to break down current events and social issues for a younger audience. The tone shifts from serious legal analysis to casual career advice, often filmed on a signature classroom-themed set that ties into the parent company's 'Titan Academy' brand. Certain episodes are branded 'Sorry Not Sorry', tackling more controversial subjects.
“Its primary distinction is booking a steady stream of Singaporean Members of Parliament and government officials, discussing policy and politics in a long-form, informal setting. The use of provocative and established influencers like Xiaxue as hosts to question experts and politicians is a key feature.”

The hosts often challenge perceived inconsistencies ("Why is there such a big difference in the sentences?") and ask for definitions of technical terms ("What does 'sexual assault by penetration' mean?"). They build rapport by sharing personal opinions and experiences, guiding the conversation from broad thematic questions to specific, practical advice.
The show uses a multi-host panel format, with different combinations of hosts like Jian Hao Tan, Xiaxue, and Hirzi appearing in various episodes. The set is often a classroom, reinforcing the 'Titan Academy' brand.
