The KTM Podcast

Why are we so obsessed with speaking in English, or people with nice accents? What does it tell about us? Join our chat about language, code-switching, and identity with our international girl, Nessreen Tamano. We also give you our two cents on IELTS, employability and of course, dating people who speak languages unfamiliar to us.

We love Q&As! For this episode, we borrow a few cards from @werenotreallystrangers for a quick catch-up. We talk about our quarantine takeaways, latest Netflix binge (new recos!) and what we're snacking on. Three seasons in, we're sure you have had a good picture of us your KTM girls, from kalat to kuda, and so ladies and gentlemen, we bring you more!

Being in a world that is "always on" sure has its wonderful perks... until it begins creeping up to our nerves tagging along so much anxiety. How dependent have we become to social media? And how doomed are we, really? This episode takes off from Netflix' "The Social Dilemma" and the girls' protest and battle against this larger-than-life mesh of social networks. Share with us how being online has affected your own life!

We wrap season two with a very special guest, another favorite Kapamilya and fellow Thomasian, Mikey Flores. In this episode he shares his experience coming out to his parents at a young age while figuring how to be comfortable in his own skin. A good portion of this episode also includes UST-Journalism kalat we *feel* you might find interesting.

Is it okay for women to make the first move? Recording on a Friday night (with glasses of wine in tow) your Mars talked about their attempts of making the first move on their crushes. Angelique shared her wins, while Sam and Lian recounted their lame but "effective" modus. How about you, on what ways have you made the first move? Share them with us!

Long Distance Relationships can be quite a challenge to a lot of couples. In this episode, we invited our friend Apple Gamboa to share her insights from her past LDRs and the modern ways that helped her manage the highs and lows of this relationship format.
