This week on Sweet or Savory, we sit down with Kay Sibal, who is just in SIX on Broadway! We talk about her journey from the Filipino community to the Broadway stage, what life is really like as a Broadway performer, auditions, representation in theatre, and of course — we had to ask the important question… is Broadway sweet or savory?

Kay shares what it took to get to Broadway, the realities behind the scenes of a major production like SIX and The Voice, and what it means to represent on such a big stage.

We’re so proud of Kay and all that she’s doing. This was such a fun conversation.

We’re joined by guitarist Andrew Rhim for a fun debate on SoCal vs. the Bay Area. 🌴🌁 We get into the differences we grew up with—from the slang we use and the weather we’re used to, to the Mexican food, sports culture, and the way each region navigates their famous freeways.

We also talk about the vibes of each place, the music scenes that shaped us, and the little cultural quirks that make Southern California and the Bay Area feel so different—even though we’re all from the same state. Whether you’re Team SoCal, Team Bay, or somewhere in between, this episode is a nostalgic and hilarious breakdown of California culture. 🌮🚗🏀

This week’s episode of Sweet or Savory was recorded LIVE as we celebrated 4 years of the pod at Cafe 86 in West Covina!

It was so cool finally meeting some of our sweets and savories in real life! We got real-time hot takes from guests on the questions that started it all… Is peanut butter sweet or savory? And can you really be friends with your ex?

Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us. Cheers to 4 more years of Sweet or Savory 🥂

This week we dive into the movie Eternity and let the game We’re Not Really Strangers take us somewhere real — asking questions like “What is hurting you right now?” and “How do our personalities actually mesh?” 🫶🏽 Sometimes the deepest conversations happen when you least expect them, and this episode definitely went there.

Also… we’re celebrating 4 YEARS of the podcast 🥹🎉 Come hang with us at our Meet & Greet on Feb 22 at Cafe 86 in West Covina — we’d love to see your faces, take pics, and say thank you for being part of this journey.

This week on Sweet or Savory, we’re joined by the incredible Josh Dela Cruz—actor, singer, Broadway performer, and the beloved host of Blue's Clues & You. One of our most wholesome episodes yet!

Josh opens up about his journey from growing up Filipino American on the East Coast to starring on Broadway (Aladdin, Here Lies Love), and ultimately becoming the first Filipino American host of one of the most iconic children’s shows of all time. We talk about representation, family sacrifice, theater life, and what it means to unexpectedly become a role model for kids (and parents 👀) around the world.

Plus, we get into Filipino culture, community, identity, and—of course—Josh weighs in on the ultimate debate: is peanut butter sweet or savory?

This episode is heartfelt, funny, nostalgic, and full of moments that’ll make you smile. You’re going to fall in love with Josh all over again.
