Episode 59 - Let’s Connect with Timothy Marimuthu

From mimicking his late uncle to emceeing weddings, corporate events, and church gigs, Timothy Marimuthu found his voice, fumbled forward, and never looked back.


We talk about his first awkward gig in college, his 15-year journey with Empowered Ministry, and what it really means to own the mic. Whether or not he’ll take it full-time? That’s still unfolding. But as he says: “Just do it.”

Episode 57 : Cikgu Emmet Menulis

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! Happy September!

Episode 44: Joachim Then

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.
