    Xyza Cruz Bacani on Pandemic Photography

    In our season two opener, award winning internationally acclaimed Filipina photojournalist Xyza Cruz Bacani talks to us about photographing a pandemic, the no home birth policy in the Philippines and other stories. She has recently published a spectacular book, 'We Are Like Air' which highlights the story of the migrant domestic worker. She likens migrant workers to air- 'essential but invisible'.  N.B. This episode was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, due to unforseen circumstances we have delayed the publishing of our podcast episodes. We are happy to be back recording and publishing them again, and we hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound during this trying time. We are hopeful for better days ahead.

    Off-Duty with Tricia Centenera

    In the last of our three-part series on self care, we sit down with Tricia Centenera (@triciacentenera), who lifts the curtain behind her rose-tinted, bread-scented Instagram life. She shares her quarantine experience including loads of practical tips, straight talk, and even candid reflections on the less rosy times in her life.  Tricia is the founder of @skinbytalulah and co-founder of @talulahs_closet. Her TV show continues in a new incarnation as #TalkWithTricia on her IG live. At this point, we'd like to introduce a trigger warning for mentions of a friend's suicide.  For clarity, this episode was recorded during the ECQ. We love to hear from you!  Give us some love or ask us a question.  We are at unlockPH.podcast@gmail.com.

    National Treasure with Jacques Christophe Branellec

    In today's episode, we have Jacques Christophe Branellec (@jacquesjewelmer), deputy CEO of Jewelmer, Captain in the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, member of the PNP Highway Patrol Group, pilot, shrimp farmer, and most recently, mysterious seafood delivery driver during the lockdown. We discuss growing up on a pearl farm, the repercussions of covid-19 in areas as far-flung as Palawan, the place of the luxury brands in a post-covid world, buying local, and his predictions for Filipino brands on the global stage. We hope this episode brings much-needed hope to our listeners as we look ahead to a "New Normal".

    Dont Panic, Its Organic with Hindy Weber

    In this episode, Hindy Weber debunks and demystifies some of the easy-to-assume aspects of her lifestyle. Is she an anti-vaxxer? Is she vegan? Is she pagan? And why these things matter, are just some of points that we cover. At a time of great uncertainty, clarifying what things really mean has never been more important. In this episode, we agree to disagree and talk controversial topics such as vaccines, survival skills, boxes we put ourselves and other people in and why Hindy has been living in 'the new normal' for over 10 years. As we hope to flatten the curve, Hindy shows us how she stays ahead of it.
