The Symphony 924 presenter on his new talk show, growing old, and why he doesn’t mind being asked about that sitcom he was on.
8 DAYS: Tell us about On the Couch, your new segment on Symphony 92.4.
ANDREW LIM: I have eight guests over where I talk to them mainly about themselves, their [line of work], and how they perceive life in general. I want to give my listeners an idea of what they do and what makes them tick. For example, I recently invited aesthetician Dr Georgia Lee over because I wanted to find out what beauty means to her. Because of the nature of her job, she looks at a person's outward appearance a lot. So I was afraid that she would be analysing my appearance. In fact, when she was [making her way to our studio], she was observing all the people’s complexions in the lift (laughs). She said something very true. If you look the best that you can look, people would be more likely to approach you and get to know the person behind the facade. So it’s that kind of insight that I want to gather from them.
Why is it called On the Couch?
Because I was inspired by this couch [in studio], given to me by a dear colleague. This old black leather couch. But for practical purposes they don't actually sit on this couch. The concept is that I want them to feel comfortable.
