May 16, 2021 Abducting a Fake Influencer for Science
Since it took me a while to come up with a new episode, I'm upping the ante for this one. I brought a fake influencer to an undisclosed location so I can interrogate them about why they are the way they are. I guess it didn't end as well as I expected. Welp, let's talk about influencers and how authenticity ironically seems like fakery in itself.

July 08, 2020 Minimalism Remixed
Minimalism is so much more than trying hard to lessen irrelevant stuff from your life or reduce the clutter at home. In this episode, I shuffle some minimalist concepts around so you can learn about how I apply it to different aspects of my personal life and career.
This is minimalism explained and remixed.

June 24, 2020 Confessions of a Church Dropout
We all know how Church can be for anyone. It can be a place for fellowship with like-minded believers and knowing more about God. However, it can also be a cesspool of existential doubt and unfulfilled potential. I was once a VERY active member of a church. I even got as far as preaching the word!
But despite that, I eventually figured out that I'm better off without Jesus or religion in my life.
This is my story as a Church Dropout.

June 10, 2020 When A Hobby Goes Sideways
Hobbies are a good thing. But sometimes, one couldn't help but ask, "am I just merely engaging in this for fun, or is it becoming a bit too much?" Don't get me wrong, I love my hobbies. So to eliminate the feelings of guilt, let's take a deep dive into the fine line (and similarities) between our hobbies and when it becomes borderline consumerist.
After all, hobbies can never be a bad thing, right? RIIIGHT?

June 04, 2020Postscript #1: These Are Troubling Times
Welcome to the first Postscript Episode of Riley Off The Radio, and this is where you'll be hearing about any spur of the moment ideas and issues that I feel the need to tackle very quickly in the podcast.
These are indeed troubling times. The Philippines is close to passing the Terror Bill, which is a concerning legislative effort with ulterior motives against freedom of expression. Meanwhile, America faces a country-wide outrage over police brutality and racism.
Here's how we can all help.

May 27, 2020 Glitch In The Matrix: My Biggest Unsolved Mysteries
Have you ever experienced something deeply weird that until now, you have no explanation for it? Maybe it’s a paranormal encounter, a creepy sense of deja vu, or an occurrence that’s simply beyond your comprehension.
I’ve gone through a pair of weird phenomena that are categorized as a Glitch In The Matrix—an odd house and a misplaced memory.
Only a few people know about this, and I’m sharing it publicly for the first time.
Hopefully, I find some answers.
