34 – Kudazzers / Filipino Podcasts, Flavor of Cum, Queer Theory, Theater

Kudazzers is a podcast based in the Philippines—made for and by Gen Z and Gen Y locals—hosted by Iris Montesclaros, Eudes Garcia, Natalie Estrada, Ingrid Joyce, and Martin Glen. In this episode, two of the hosts talk about the beginnings of the Kudazzers podcast and their plans moving forward. We also get into a range of topics, spanning from the concept of “bayawaks” who challenge the beauty standards of the Philippines and queer theory as situated within the Philippine context.

Check out their podcast on Spotify and other platforms—it’s guaranteed to be hilarious. I personally listened to the episode “Malaki Ba Siya, o Masikip Lang Ako?” and was laughing all throughout. Most of their episodes are about 30 minutes—the perfect length to listen to on a commute—and they usually focus on a single topic. The beauty of their conversations is that they’re honest, uncensored, and open—and hilarious. Take a listen, follow, and subscribe.
