Listener Tribute Series Part 2 with Ria Yap and Diana Calica

After breaking 10,000 downloads, we wanted to reflect on the folks that got us to where we are by holding space for us every time an episode airs.

 

In part 2 of the Listener Tribute Series we connect with long time supporter and friends, Ria Yap and Diana Calica. They are carving and creating spaces in their own lives with the work they do, hobbies they enjoy, and their friendship with each other. We are honored for the things they teach us as podcasters, because their input, views, and voices matter.

 

Channel into that inner walang hiya (even introverted) you may tuck away sometimes and find yourselves connecting to these listeners who have a chance at the mic.
