    #1 - I'm Not an AFAM. I'm AFAAM. Here's the Difference

    AFAAM — A Filipino American Around Manila. This is episode one. I moved to the Philippines at 21 with $3,000, no Tagalog, and a ticket I bought before I told my parents. Fifteen years later I'm still here — not because it's easy, but because it's been clarifying. This episode is about what AFAAM actually means, why this show exists, and what separates it from every other Philippines-related podcast out there. No expat fantasy. No hot takes. Just an honest conversation about what building a real life here actually looks like. Season 1 is called Building, Not Escaping. This is where it starts.

    #0 - We Almost Never Built This | Wolf

    AFAAM is a podcast about building a real life in the Philippines — hosted by a Filipino American who's been doing exactly that for fifteen years. Before Season 1 starts, here's the story behind the room it's being recorded in. Three years ago, me and Wolf had a plan to build Manila Podcast Studio. Life got in the way — and for a while, we let the dream sit. This is the conversation about what it actually took to stop waiting for the right time and just build the thing. A studio origin story, and an honest look at what happens when you keep a long-term vision alive even when nothing is moving. Season 1 — Building, Not Escaping — starts next week.
