Hello, podpals! It’s Halloween once again—our favorite time of the year! 🎃

And yes, despite a stressful and controversial October here in the Philippines, All Hallow’s Eve is still something worth celebrating.

In this extra-generous episode, you’ll get:

• A first listen to Narda’s brand-new Halloween rap single “Together Aswang.”

• Two interviews with Wincy about the craft of writing horror and his debut novel The Indio & The Impaler, where our national hero José Rizal faces off against Count Dracula!

Enjoy the spooky season, dearest listeners. Mwahahaha! 🦇

Podpals, in this special episode we mark a year since our beloved co-host Cj has transitioned. We sit down with her father, Jojo de Silva, for a candid and moving conversation about what made Cj such a remarkable daughter, friend, and artist—and how he continues to live with the weight of grief.

As a bonus, we also talk to Carlo Cielo, Cj’s org-mate from UP Fine Arts, who shares memories of her positivity, kindness, and reflections on the randomness of death.

This episode is both a remembrance and a testament to the love and light Cj left behind.

To celebrate Cj’s 38th birthday in heaven, we go back to a subject she loves discussing so much---superhero movies! And yes, podpals, this time, it’s a debate! Which was the better superhero movie in 2025: Superman or Fantastic Four: First Steps. Listen as Wincy asks three of his geekiest friends: Mihk Vergara, Jazz Nicolas, and LC de Leon! 

Burnout is real, podpals—and sometimes, the cure isn’t in your next promotion but in your inner chi. In this episode, Wincy sits down with energy healer and tai chi master David Montecillo, a former ‘90s adman who traded deadlines for deep breaths. From agency meltdowns to metaphysical makeovers, this one’s a soul stretch for anyone stuck in the corporate grind. Bring your overworked aura—we’re doing a vibe reset.
