Telebabad Tapes

It’s the start of a brand new year! Join us as we took our first trip of 2024 to the rugged coastlines of Batanes—the smallest province in the Philippines, the Home of the Winds!

We talk about our beautiful hotel Fundacion Pacita, the delicious food (beef and seafood galore!), and the many sights our tour guide brought us to.

In between these stories, we reflect on whether we’re city or country folks at heart, and why the Philippines gets the bad rap for being an ugly country.

C’mon, c’mon, podpals! Let’s head on over to Batanes.

We end 2023 with a topic very dear to Cj’s heart: Love Teams! Especially when 2023 is the year when KathNiel, one the most iconic Pinoy love teams, has broken up. Love Teams, we could claim, is a uniquely Filipino phenomenon with a rich history and evolution, which remains a significant and relevant fixture in our pop culture.

Inspired by the classic framework of romance: you and me against the world, we put the concept of love teams against, well, the world.

• Love Teams & Capitalism
• Love Teams & Fandoms
• Love Teams & True Love
• Love Teams & Cinephiles

It’s quite a long episode, but it sure is chaotic as it is vibrant. Enjoy!

We all know that feeling. But really, what does 'cringe' really mean? And more importantly, what do the things that make us cringe tell us about ourselves?

Sit down and listen as we give you a list of things that make us cringe. Whether you agree or disagree with us, you'll sure have a fun telebabad hour! Plus, we'll be reading out what our podpals have sent us.

Boo! Happy Halloween, podpals! Since it’s the season of all things spooky, we’re talking about superstitions. Yes, that old chestnut.

We asked the podpal community to chime in on what their strangest superstitions are—both cultural and personal--and we read them out loud.

Senses-shattering sidebars include animism, pagpag, and pwera-usog, amongst other things.

Tune in and have a howling good time!

In this episode, we talk about the people who we put on a pedestal, the people who we base the trajectory of our lives on. Ah, yes, the Life Peg!

Hold up. What's this?

Some random artist made a Facebook comment. It's about what's an artist and what isn't.

Boom! Artist all over the Philippines had violent reactions. The whole thing blew up!

And we're here now to give you our thoughts about this rather thorny subject. Could two weeks of a little R&R really be that bad?

Aside from this, we're giving you unsolicited advice on how to make it as an artist in this Third World Country.

Perk up your ears, podpals, and doodle while you listen to another brain-stimulatin' telebabad session.
