  • S5E8: Ang Imortal Na Tambalang Nicole Hyala at Chris Tsuper
    Nicole Hyala and Chris Tsuper return to the podcast, but this time, as a tandem! Stan picks their brain on what's kept their on-air partnership so fresh and relevant after 19 years. He also asks them how they've continued to make this work and how they don't get tired of one another after all this time! It's a real look at their dynamic behind the mic--and when the ON-AIR sign is off--and it's all on deck!

  • S5E7: How Makoy Pare Went From Being a Lifelong Radio Fan To Exposing Celebs as Showbiz Bro
    Makoy Pare is one of the hosts of Machong Chismisan, the longest-running comedy podcast in the Philippines. But before that podcast came to be, he was Showbiz Bro, a straight guy whose on-air gimmick was to openly attack celebrities on the radio as Mo Twister's "attack dog" on his popular morning radio show. Makoy reflects on his run on the radio, which lasted a little over two years, how he built his brand and hustled to get partnerships, and what fulfilling this lifelong dream of being on the air means to him. He and Stan also get into the traumatic moment where their paths first crossed and how they've turned that into a warm friendship. All of these stories are coming in hot, and they're On Deck!

  • S4E15: Why I Openly Talk About My Mental Health Journey

    My own mental health journey is a work in progress, but I'd like to think I've come a long way from when I first realized that I couldn't do this all on my own. In this episode, my friend Cesca Litton-Kalaw returns to the podcast to talk about creating safe spaces for people to talk about their mental health, as well as the steps we can take to get the help we need. Season 4 was always meant to end with this conversation, and I hope that this can help you as much as our little safe space when we were in the booth tremendously helped me in my own time of need. Kapit lang.
