From its early days back in '06-'07 -- Wattpad has transformed from being an underground site where anyone can read unedited manuscripts of released books, to being a community of writers and readers working hand-in-hand to popularize the works which deserve the wider limelight.

In this episode, we're discussing one of such works that has grown to be read by millions of people. Because of how it gained traction, it has been adapted into a feature film starring actors James Reid and Nadine Lustre.

Join us as we discuss "Talk Back and You're Dead" by Wattpad user Alessana Marie.

Welcome to TLDR Podcast PH. In this podcast, we talk about various readings such as articles and stories -- and all the themes surrounding such readings.

September is National Literacy Month. So before the month ends, we're kicking off our literature-centered podcast by discussing a Japanese short story entitled "Rashomon", by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. In case you've heard about the movie with the similar name, we hate to break it to you but this is not the same story.

But please do join us as we talk about the story, and more!
