RetasoCast

Tiny and Bayani are back in Cebu, just in time for the Valentines ep! We run through all our Odette survival hurdles, and the Wordles that got us through those dark times.

A New Home (Opening Crawl)  

For our art episode, we went to the Visayan Art Fair (not the first nor the only art fair in the Visayas, but quite possibly the biggest since the pandemic) to ask people fundamental questions about art, love, and fairness. We'd like to thank Mark Deutsch, Wyndelle Remonde, and Ronyel Compra for sitting down with us, and everyone else in the fair who was gullible enough to answer our stupid questions.

We spent our post-first-gig-in-a-while decompression time with the architect of the current indie gig resurgence himself, Mr. Bobby Olvido. Listen in as we milk him for his dirty tricks, pet peeves, and IATF-compliant tips for bands and production people. We also have artist recommendations, both old and new. And it wouldn't be a Bobby conversation without that slight bit of band-on-band slander, all in the name of bettering the community of course. So open up the proverbial wanbats, and listen in!

On this ep we get our birth charts read by Madam Sabina Espina, PhD for Tiny's birthday bash. Find out our proclivities, our hopes, and our traumas as we let the stars show us who we really are - sentient beings incapable of free will. And watch out for the third part where an overabundance of tequila triggers a supernova of Scorpio energy. 12th house, biiiitch!

Bayani's back for another island vacation episode, this time in Camotes! Amidst all the great outdoor activities we still managed to find some things to trash, like the quality of halo2 and some underwhelming caves. Listen in as we take a mini-respite on the podcast itself and let Bayani do his thing for most of the runtime. The water's warm and not too salty, so dive in!

Prepare for a night of historical horror with Niño and the gang as we tell bone-chilling stories and myths from one of the darkest periods of the past: the Martial Law era. From man-eating murderers, pump-wearing plunderers, and everything in between, we examine how infamy and villainy turned into fame and political clout. And just like a real live suspense mystery, we delve into how we can piece together the truth from fragments of memories, facts, lies, and schemes. We even reached out to the late dictator himself for a few choice questions. Blood-curdling accounts and jump scares await. Happy Halloween!

Welcome to the slam book episode where we get deep in our feelings and talk about ourselves and nothing else. We define the characters we've been playing in the show and our origin story, regret not getting into the Duterte Manifesto and other self-help bullshit, and agonize on how people take politics a little too personally. This 45th ep might be a nice jumping off point if you want to dive into the daunting body of work that is RetasoCast.

Fresh off Leni's bid for VP and the bilateral trolling that followed, we discuss how to better communicate with the differently-supporting people in our lives. We may not be Nobel Prize winners but we sure have some pretty good ideas about it. Let's get (redacted) in here!

While we can debate on whether or not we can separate art from the artist, it's hard for us to be separated from one artist in particular. We're back with recurring guest Joshua to discuss the pomp and pageantry of Miss U, COCs for presidential candidates, a look back on the pre-lockdown music scene, and more. What are you waiting for? Spit on that proverbial chain and have a drink!
