Summary

In the pilot episode of Podscape, we discuss the backstory and motivations of creating PODSCAPE and how it relates to our company, Shophouse & Co’s placemaking vision. Joined by the hosts of this season, Dan & Rebecca of Singapore’s chart-topping “The Lito Podcast”, the pilot episode of the season spotlights the town and community of Bukit Panjang in Singapore.

• Future hopes for PODSCAPE

• How living in different parts of Singapore inform our identity

“Conventionally, when you ask people about a place, they will think about the geographical location of a place or the concrete and tangible things. With Podscape, we are trying to unearth the softer aspects of a space and place.”
