E-numan Sessions Podcast

By Mike, Claire, & Sten

After 12 years and thousands of miles between them, three Filipino high school friends reconnect amidst a global pandemic to find the wisdom in the "new" normal. Reflecting on past experiences while integrating their current realities of living abroad, 'E-numan Sessions' aims to honor a Filipino tradition of casually sharing stories over drinks between friends, family, and acquaintances.

S2E7: Keeping Up with the Pandemic

We are currently in a reality show that does not need a second season. It is almost a year since the pandemic happened - definitely not an anniversary worth celebrating. How life has been so far? For this episode, we invited Ryan and Ian to share the impact to their lives and how they go on and cope up amid the pandemic.

S2E6: Toxic Filipino Traits pt. 2 (ft. GirlBoyBaklaTomboy)

Some would say that the original is always better than the sequel. Definitely not in our case. We collaborated for the first time, with our fellow podcasters from GirlBoyBaklaTomboy (Pauline, Rex, Miguel, Deanna and CJ) to discuss more toxic Filipino traits. But this time, specifically about the facets of career and love. P. S. Sten and Mike are not the Butiki and Baboy.

S2E3: 'Til Death Do Us Part

Spoiler alert! This is not about kneeling on one knee and opening that little box in the most dramatic way. This is not about exchanging rings and vows. This is not a love story. Krea is back with us to talk about something that most people perceive as a sensitive topic - DEATH.

S2E1: If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands

Mike and Sten are back! Despite the sad news of Claire leaving the podcast (but definitely not from our lives) and events happening around, there are many reasons to put smile on our faces.

For this season opener, we invited Sandra and Charry to share their insights on what happiness is. We also wanted to hear from our listeners so we shared their answers to the big question, "What makes you happy?"

How about you? What makes you happy?

S1E8: Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Warning: Proceed if you want to sleep with lights on tonight. This episode is not for the weak and faint-hearted.

To end our first season,  we invited Mina and Sandra to share with us few creepy and firsthand ghost and supernatural encounters. We, as well, talked about current events that are way scarier than ghost stories.

S1E7: #hijaako and Pamahiins

S1E7: #hijaako and Pamahiins

Born and raised in the province of La Union, we were exposed to many "pamahiins" that are still practiced until today. For this episode, we shared personal or borrowed stories about common (and weird) superstitious beliefs. On top of it, we discussed a very sensitive topic that trended this week. So listen now and share to 10 persons or bad luck will happen for 7 years.
