Kwentong Callroom Podcast

We're back to talk about our favorite medical series ever! This time, we're joined by HBO Max's The Pitt Podcast co-host, Dr. Alok Patel to talk to us about the show, about Season 2, and what it was like to host The Pitt podcast!

Chismisan meets kwentuhan! Naniniwala ba kayong mas chismoso talaga ang mga lalake??? Sa chikahan namin with Machong Chismisan, napatunayan na ang dami ngang kuda ng mga lalake na kahit kami, nalito na sa diwa ng episode na 'to. Kayo na lang mag-figure out kung tungkol ba sa'n tong ep tapos PM niyo na lang kami for episode title revision. 😆

Bakit ba lagi nagkakasakit 'yung mga politiko 'pag inaaresto??? Is it a correlation, association, or outright evasion of justice?? Pag-usapan natin itong mga pa-syndrome sa episode na 'to! ⚖️

In this episode, we commemorate the declaration of Martial Law more than 50 years ago. We had a conversation with one of our professors who lived through its perils. From being a bio student at UP Diliman to a full-fledged community doctor in rural areas, she shared stories on the ground so that we may never forget one of the darkest eras of Philippine history. ✊🏼

A Kwento Mo sa Callroom letter-sender asks: How to choose a fellowship program after residency?

Economist by day, musician by night. Nakipag-chikahan kami with former Finance Undersecretary (maliit na bagay) and UP Professor (lang naman) Cielo Magno! Napagkwentuhan namin kung bakit siya naging interesado sa economics, kung mayaman nga ba ang Pilipinas, at pa'no tayo makaka-angat sa laylayan bilang bansa. May pa-soft launch din ng next single at dance craze niya! 📈👩🏻‍💼

Kwentuhan, tawanan, at dogshow-an with the creator of Sskait *drum roll* AJ Bacar! With his trusted and famous talong, chinika niya yung cartoon- and anime-filled childhood niya hanggang sa mga inspirations behind his relatable (and socially relevant) art! Tbh, siya na ata yung isa sa pinakamaligalig na guest namin sa pod! 🌧️🐶👻

Dinala tayo sa House of Representatives ng bagong #DoctorsMeet ep na ito! We talk to Kabataan Partylist Rep. and Impeachment Prosecution Spokesperson Renee Co about her journey towards politics, the power of the youth, and how important this impeachment is for our nation.

Paano ba nabubuo 'yung mga conference na pinupuntahan natin? Paano namimili ng theme? Topics?? Speakers??? We talk to seasoned conference organizer and PCP 2025 SciComm chair Marvin!

In another installment (INSTALLMENT?!?!) of our #DoctorsMeet series, nakipag-usap naman tayo sa isang Pinoy scientist on his PhD journey and career in marine sciences. Kwentuhan on his struggles and triumphs in doing research sa Pinas at Japan (where he did his doctoral)! 🪸
