In this episode of Di Na ’To Drowing, Allen sits down with special guests Kyoya and Markuro to dive headfirst into the chaotic, high energy world of modern Trading Card Games (TCGs). From Pokémon and One Piece to Lorcana and vintage Magic: The Gathering, the crew breaks down how cardboard collectibles evolved from childhood nostalgia into a multi million peso asset class—and how the local hobby community is handling the madness.

We unpack the concept of "hobby maxing"—the fine line between passion driven collecting and treating every binder pull like a stock trade. Is it still about playing the game, or are we all just spec buying shiny cardboard to fund our retirement?

In this episode, we sit down with the ultimate multi-disciplinary creative, Josh Villena! While you might know him as the brilliant frontman of Autotelic, Josh has been taking over the internet under his solo moniker, totâ.

We dive deep into his visual art journey with yeheytota, where his hilariously cursed characters and weird creatures have a habit of going completely viral. Yes, we talk about that legendary Fibonacci spiral caricature of a politician running up the stairs, and his brilliant visual interpretation of Olivia Dean’s lyrics!

But behind the viral humor lies a masterclass in creative hustle. Josh opens up about the reality of being a full-time artist in the Philippines and shares his exact formula for compartmentalizing a massive career: balance, creative boundaries, and how he manages Autotelic, totâ, and a thriving visual arts career all at the same time without burning out.It’s a super chill, honest conversation about finding your voice, empowering yourself in the creative industry, and a look into Josh’s actual "drawings" (plans) for the future.

In this episode of the Di Na 'To Drowing Podcast, I’m joined by El Bonuan to geek out over the official trailer for Forgotten Island, and we are honestly blown away. It feels like a historic moment to finally see Hollywood take a real shot at highlighting Filipino mythology and culture through such high-level animation. We dive deep into the excitement of seeing the Manananggal, Engkanto, Tikbalang, and Aswang brought to life on the big screen, especially within an original story that feels so intentional and respectful of our roots. We also break down the incredible Filipino voice cast and go frame-by-frame to spot the hidden easter eggs and cultural details that show just how much heart was put into this storytelling. If you’ve been waiting for our folklore to get the global stage it deserves, you won’t want to miss this deep dive.
