Art School Taught Me
First thing's first, I'd like to apologize about the sudden jump in audio around the 50 minute mark, I fucked up and had the wrong settings on the recorder. Which I'm real bummed out about because I've been looking forward to this episode for almost 10 months now. On this episode I sit down with Raniel of Wednesday. He was actually the first person I met when I first got here. This meeting was the catalyst to this whole series actually. For this episode we talk about Wednesday, the importance of upcycling, social issues regarding the environment and what we can do as individuals to change in the world. One important topic I'd like to highlight is where we discuss the role, responsibilities, and obligations streetwear brands have, if any, toward the general public when it comes to pressing matters. These are my favorite types of episodes because we get to highlight the opinions creatives have and the issues that matter to them most. It's informative, educational and worth a listen. Thanks! Again, I'm sorry about the audio issue. I really wanted this to be good because I feel like Raniel is a key figure within the community and his opinions on these topics are important and worth hearing. Wednesday in itself, I feel is very inlined with the Art School Taught Me's ideologies of pursuing truth, a better future, and providing a platform for issues worthy of discourse. — Raniel would like to thank: Vince and Mil of DBTK Bryan Sochayseng, Paulo Reyes, and Lex Celera of Monday Off Cleo Colon, Aaron Lim, Argie Alcantara and Jap Regala of Wednesday Marvin Conanan and Sara Martinez of PURVEYR George Balobalo of Bawal Clan Kieran and Kirsten Francisco Dustin Calde Jeg Nealega, Lean Torres, Robert Pabiling, Joshy Pascual, Pusangkalat, Vector Tears, Angelo Alpasan, Joshua Villanueva, Heaven, and Boris Garcia of Season Pass.

Episode 101: LOIS

The goal for this season is to branch out into a more broad spectrum of thought and conversations. And one way we're attempting to achieve that is by inviting guest who are involved in more esoteric activities. This episode is a prime example of that. We sit down with Lois, the Millennial Manghuhula. She talks us through what tarot really is and dispels many of the misconceptions surrounding it. Prior to recording she did a reading for Laurens and what he found most fascinating about the experience is how involved the process was and how specific certain topics were. It's not just a quick reading either. Lois said her reading usually range to an hour long. For the sake of time, Laurens' reading took swift 35 minutes. Still a barrage of information and advice were given. The Philippines is passionately religious country and you would never think of mixing religion with magick. However there are many manghuhulas around the city and citizens still hold out a belief in the practice no matter how dichotomous the idea may be. Lois specifically says her readings are an extension of God. She is the instrument that connects the cards to that of a higher being, which again dispels the preconceived notions that tarot is anti-religious. This was a fun episode and a nice change of pace. Hopefully you enjoyed listening and found the conversation as interesting. See you on the next episode!

Episode 103: ISABELLE

On this episode we sit down with Isabelle of Fools & Foes and chat about the local band scene. She talks about what it's like as a female musician here in the Philippines as well as the band's history and being labeled "Math Rock." Our conversation also touches briefly on her secret love for writing fiction and her reluctance on sharing her work because she feels it's not good enough. The band's creative process is also explored and Isabelle shares how each member contributes to the music. One aspect of the show that I wanted to focus on was how women are treated in the music industry. Though the industry still suffers from sexism and harassment issues, Isabelle points out the many local events, labels, and organizations led by women. Something I hope is a catalyst for changing the landscape of the industry. Thanks for listening.
