  • Captain Sam's Airborne Panache
    Aug 10 2023

    "What's the point in making things difficult or hard, or there's no need for it? You just want to move forward in the best way possible because we don't need stress in our life. We don't need anger. We don't need all of these, the anxiety that goes with everything." - SAM.

    In this podcast episode, Sam Evers-Swindell, an international airline pilot, joins the conversation to share his journey from PanAm to Botswana, Myanmar, and, finally, a known Asian airline carrier. Known for his unique career path and candid nature, Sam highlights his love for aviation, the challenges and pressures he faced, and his passion for personal growth. The episode dives into the nuances of language, societal taboos, and even fast food cravings. Above all, Sam and I share our personal experiences and insights on relationships, self-belief, and the highly sarcastic support group, 'Daily Life'. As the conversation moves from high skies to everyday life, you are promised a blend of laughter, learning, and inspiration.

  • [HT Special] Epitome Anatomy: Pet Peeves - Load The Blender And Press Frappe
    Jul 26 2023

    "If I were to choose a strange pet peeve, it would be people who over-explain things." - Mike.

    Welcome to Human Thesaurus Special, EPITOME ANATOMY.

    In this episode, our keyword is PET PEEVES, a noun. According to vocabulary.com, a peeve is an annoyance, and a pet peeve is an annoyance that's nurtured like a pet — it's something someone can never resist complaining about.

    On this enlightening episode, we're joined by our returning guest, the hilarious Filipino comedian and writer Mike Unson, and one of my closest friends, digital content expert Jo Mendoza. Together, we navigate the fascinating world of pet peeves. Listen in as we delve into our personal peeves and discuss how they can affect our lives and interactions with others. From Mike's annoyance with bad driving to Jo's enlightening reflection on how pet peeves can reflect our personal standards and expectations, we shed light on the peculiarities that irk us.

    We also tackle the challenging task of managing our annoyances, especially when faced with strangers. We share hilarious stories and discuss various coping mechanisms like practising patience, adopting a sense of humour, and embracing self-forgiveness. Tune in to hear Mike's amusing anecdote about a parking lot encounter and Jo's practical advice on self-regulation and detachment from triggers.

    P.S.: Rest In Peace, Willie Nepomuceno. Thank you for giving my dream a chance once before.

  • [HT Special] Epitome Anatomy: Siblings - The Untangling of the Yarn
    Jul 5 2023

    "I really think family, siblings, you got to start with actually knowing them in a deep sense because, without that, they're just a stranger, just a friend. There's that level of, yeah, you can be familiar with your friends more than your siblings. But there's that thing I can't point to it. There's just that thing of knowing a familiarity that's unique to siblings." - JC.

    Welcome to Human Thesaurus Special, EPITOME ANATOMY.

    In this episode, our keyword is SIBLINGS. It is a plural noun which means brothers or sisters. Its anthropology or origin came from the root word sib, which means relative or related by blood, according to dictionary.com.

    I will have a heart-to-heart conversation about our sibling perspectives with my returning guest, my brother JC. We will lay them out based on our experiences and why our apparent sibling accounts motivate him to do better.

  • Margaux's Benevolence as an Island Zephyr
    Jun 28 2023

    "I don't actually think that there are really bad people. I think there are some people who do bad things, but I don't think there are really bad people." - Margaux.

    Motherly kindness is a treasure. My sunny mum-in-law, Margaux, exuberates this. She is one of the best listeners, and it's now her turn to talk about her beautiful memories of her life, her family, and her prosperous career at a time when being a woman means being boxed to a limited list of vocations. Please tune in and feel her warmth while picturing the beautiful Waiheke Island, New Zealand, where she currently lives.

  • [HT Special] Epitome Anatomy: Artificial Intelligence - The Cat's Out of the Bag
    Jun 21 2023

    "I would say that one way or another, society and life is moving faster and faster just because everything's becoming more interconnected. It might be true that we are not keeping up at all, but at the same time, we've got no choice. The cat's out of the bag with these technologies." - Ray.

    Welcome to Human Thesaurus EPITOME ANATOMY. This time, we tackle a word or several keywords that affect our lives to shape, distort, attract, dispel, and meditate, among other facets of human emotions and observations.

    Our keyword for this first special episode is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I will have a casual yet satisfying conversation about our AI perspectives while taking it to practical, layperson's terms with my returning guest from the last season, our whiz kid, the human AI Ray Chang. Also joining us is my guy BFF Jeroen Baron from Arnhem, The Netherlands, who is a full-time teacher at HAN University of Applied Sciences. We will lay them out based on our career and life experiences and note that this will focus on practical everyday people application. This is my first multi-guest on this podcast, and I am adrenalised to do this. Grab your drink of choice, and join the eavesdropping.
