sino yung boses-DJ dun sa podcast?
maybe if y'all used your best bedroom voice while podcasting, hehe….
Cat and Wes,
There's a reason no introductions were made for our virgin episode — We didn't want to expose our nakedness
Hey, good job. Morrrre. Will people be introducing their names in next eps? Would be nice to know. Love podcasts for brain-leeching! So would be nice to be able to attribute a thought/idea to someone. Can't wait to hear next ep!
maybe you should have made a running commentary on your "The Birds and the Bees and the Hymens and the Mens" article for your "virgin episode" hehe
Oh right! Forgot that topic is not particularly good-humored. Would be wrong move to say names. It's just that every time I hear a voice with no name, I automatically attach an image of a finger puppet to it. Hence, forgetting it's a very serious topic. Graaa, silly. Again, well done on the audio quality–good for iTunes.
nice start!
I dont have hope about the choices but the podcast is something else!
what exactly is he planning to do as president? ano ba plano niya?
And it's especially sad that he's the ticket for the Liberal party.
Good topic for a first podcast. I was just debating about Noynoy's candidacy with someone recently. It's not hard to imagine that he has a big chance of winning the presidency. But what's saddening is that if he wins, the Catholic agenda will be again reinforced. Many say we are a democratic country, but our government is actually a theocracy. The important laws that need to be legislated are blocked or neglected for religious reasons.
This is why we need more freethinkers and not be silent about it. When this time comes we will no longer be a minority but a constituency. Let's make more noise!
Yeah, me too
I hope there's a transcript?
Yay! May permalink ba ito? Let's get this on iTunes!
We'll make everything iTunes worthy by episode 2. Hope you could be part of the next one
