    Episode 12 - Edru Abraham, Part 2

    Filipinos are confident performers, says Edru Abraham, founder of Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino (Kontra-GaPi). But they shouldn't be content with just interpreting other people's music. "I'm not saying you shouldn't look to the west... if you want to enrich your musical life," he tells sociologist, writer, and leading public intellectual Randy David. "But there is enough here to excite you. Learn as much as you can to create your own music, your own style, something... specific to you and to your own community." Notes: Some music in this episode is sourced from KontraGaPi on YouTube. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 10 - Paulo Alcazaren, Part 2

    Episode 8 - Ambeth Ocampo, Part 2

    Unexplained wealth, cheating (and good looks) dictating the results of elections, congressmen giving themselves backpay amid the destruction of World War II... What was politics like in the time of Emilio Aguinaldo, Manuel L. Quezon, and Elpidio Quirino? Not very different from today, as historian Ambeth Ocampo tells sociologist, writer, and leading public intellectual Randy David. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 7 - Ambeth Ocampo, Part 1

    Heroes need braces, too. Like us, they're flawed. And Dr. Jose Rizal? He might've even had bad breath. Learn all the juicy details as sociologist, writer, and leading public intellectual Randy David talks to historian Ambeth Ocampo, who insists: "By making our historical personages human, you show that it is in their humanity that they became great." Bonus: here's why Filipino curses are so lame in comparison to Egyptian ones. Also, how do seances figure into our history? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
