  • I'm the King of the BRAAAM 'Cause I Say So

    Join me as I try to recreate one of the most recognizable sounds in movie trailer history. If you like Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen it yet, let me take ya to school!


    Special thanks to Ben Symons for allowing me to use his BRAAAM masterpiece.

  • 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.

  • A Hipster Eulogy
    Do you remember when hipsters we're a thing? Let's take a look back at the interesting subculture that rocked millennials to their core and see how it came to be. And since this subculture has long been dead, I'm calling this episode a delayed eulogy.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Postscript #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.

    • 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.

    About Riley Off The Radio

    From the publisher's feed

    Hey, my name is Riley, a radio host from Baguio City, Philippines. I go on the air weekday afternoons at 4 PHT; but most of the time, it's radio-friendly (a little too wholesome for who I am off the air).
