  var topics = ['building', 'learning', 'sharing'];
  var guest = ['maker', 'engineer' , 'designer'];
  var audience = 'live audience in Gitter chat webuildsg/live';
  var hosts = ['time keeper', 'sound controller'];

  // first 5 minutes
  welcome(guest, topics);
  guestDeclaration('current projects', guest);
  malformedQuery('lame riddle', guest, hosts[1]);

  // next 30 minutes
  discussion(topics, guest);
