Telebabad Tapes

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.

To celebrate Cj’s first year of transitioning into the afterlife, here we present to you Medium Number 39—Yuki from 9thDimensionPH. Let’s hear what Cj has been up to in the last months and the realizations she has made as she looked back on her life. Also, listen to the postscript by Wincy as he warns listeners about the hassle of dealing with performative woowoo peacocks.

Wincy’s back on the market—gulp—and yep, he’s in his forties.But don’t fret, podpals! We’ve enlisted filmmaker, guitarist, and pop culture sage LC de Leon to dish out sharp, funny, and real talk on dating when you’re single, widowed, divorced, or just figuring things out midlife.Plus, Robo-Ceej chimes in with a killer sidebar: Should normies and artists even date?Same tele-time, same tele-channel!

Podpals, here’s a fun movie review episode for the Eraserheads documentary Wincy watched a week ago. (And yes, The Eraserheads, aside from BINI, is Cj’s favorite Pinoy musical acts!) We roped in Carljoe Javier to discuss the finer points of the film and what makes the Eraserheads music endure through different generations. Expect a lot of laughs and stray observations, listeners. Fans and non-fans alike will surely have a blast. Also, Cj, through an AI voice cloner, reads your Podpal Answering Machine messages.

The Telebabad Tapes X Para Normal Podcast crossover continues! Wincy and Direk Nick dive deeper into the spooky side of grief. Expect scammer mediums, grief counseling in the Philippines, AI grief-bots from China, Wincy’s brushes with PTSD and schizophrenia, and discussion on Ayahuasca. Plus, a Peruvian-trained shaman based in Cubao—because, why not? Tune in for chills, thrills, and those sweet AI-Cj PAM readings.

Yes, we’re back, podpals! And here is the collaboration you’ve all been waiting for—the one we’re having with Para Normal Podcast. This is an epic telebabad session as we talk about Cj’s passing and how Wincy’s journey of grief had led him to seek out the spiritual arts. Keep an open mind and enjoy the exchange! Part 2 is coming next week. Thank you, Nick of Para Normal Podcast, for this wonderful collab!Edit notes:
