Chef Earl Briones wrote “I used to think I wasn’t Filipino enough” in an Instagram reel ( ), and Ryan spontaneously invited him into the studio to chat about it! Listen in as they dig into who Filipinos were before they were forced to be something they’re not. They talk about imposter syndrome, why explorers like Christopher Columbus were pieces of ****, why the US isn’t benevolent, and what the Philippine people were like and what they believed pre-colonization.

This was recorded the day after Chef Earl presented at Litfest for the Polyglot’s launch of Issue 13: MANAIG, along side WTT co-producer Ryan Lacanilao (). Chef Earl also refers to “the dinners” in this episode, by which he means his “Rice & Mysticism” popups where he explores the rich traditions of Filipino cuisine, all the way back to pre-colonial times.

What’s in a Name?

Our childhood and teenage years are incredibly formative parts of our lives. As we age, we move to new places, make new friends, expand our horizons and confront hard life lessons. At the same time, we put up boundaries and shed parts of ourselves that no longer serve us.

In this episode, “Magmahal at mahalin / To love and to be loved”, Micah explores the question: what parts of your childhood have you kept with you throughout the years, and how do you honour your inner child now as an adult?

Our guests Jessica Somera and Vincent Malazo take us back to Manila, Toronto, Edmonton and to growing up on reserve to explore how individuals shift throughout the eras - for better or for worse.

So for you, what does it mean to love your inner child and your younger self? What would your younger self say to you now?
