Why is blockchain important and should I care?

Freelancer Nation

07/15/22 • 16 min

NFT art is rapidly changing the way artists are paid and revolutionising how NFT artists can work, create new projects, and take ownership of their art. That sounds great on paper, but are NFTs worth the money—or the hype?

Raven and Yen-Lyng are complete beginners trying to understand the basic terms and wrap their heads around the world of blockchain - with the help of their expert friends.

Topics covered:

What is decentralisation in blockchain?
How is Web 3.0 the next big thing in the internet revolution?
NFT is more than profile pictures

Podcasting can save your life with Geoff | The BALUT KIKI Project

Freelancer Nation

04/22/22 • 46 min

The Balut Kiki Project is a podcast that literally saved its creators' lives

Hear the story of how this uniquely Pinoy, unapologetically queer, podcast came to be after creator Geoff quit his job because of depression and suicide, and connected with his best friend who also suffered a similar experience.

Balut Kiki's creators share about mental health being a stigma, and how their podcast is advocating for mental health among the LGBTQIA+ community in the Philippines

Note: This episode contains discussion on suicide, self harm and other mental health topics. Listener discretion is advised.

About The BALUT KIKI Project

Welcome to The BALUT KIKI Project!

We are a podcast that provides banter for the boys, and the girls, and us freaks in the middle. We are Filipino members of the queer community - some of us living in the Philippines (you'll know who among us are, the wifi lag that reflects on the sound will tell you! Ha!); the others elsewhere in the world.

Balut Kiki is a project that humbly aims to put a few more queer voices out there - ours, plus those of our allies and other members of the community. Our modest aim is to bolster queer representation by adding our own personal views, experiences, frustrations and hopes into the prevailing discourse or by calling attention to issues where we feel, through our own personal journeys, there is not enough dialogue existing (like mental health, sex and sexuality, non-traditional identities and relationships, etc.). But make no mistake, we dig into a lot of silly and mindless chatter too! We also hope that by speaking out through this project, it will empower others in our community to make their voices heard as well.

About Geoff

Geoff is one of the hosts of a Filipino-LGBT podcast called THE BALUT KIKI PROJECT which aims to normalize difficult conversations considered taboo in Philippine culture – mental health, sex and human sexuality, and non-traditional gender identities and relationships.

Geoff’s podcast will celebrate their first year anniversary this May – next month – and they are already looking back at how fabulous their first year of podcasting has been for them - having had amazing guests, a steady increase in listenership, and an international award for being the Best Podcast Host in Asia!

Although Geoff currently lives Down Under, he feels he still left his heart back in the Philippines -which is why he wants to continue advocating for the Filipino queer community, for mental and sexual health, and to empower Filipinos and Asians all over the world to speak up and make sure their stories are heard.

About Asia Podcast Podcast Awards

For Asia by Singapore, the Asia Podcast Awards celebrate the best in Asia podcasting. By creating the platform to organise and honour the members of the Asian podcasting community, we will empower Asian voices and celebrate our voices and diversity with the rest of the world.

From Bass Guitarist to Podcast rockstar with Gaurav Vaz | Mission ISRO | 377

Freelancer Nation

04/29/22 • 52 min

Podcasts have the power to inspire and help make changes for the better; that is what Mission ISRO / 377 has done in India

Gaurav Vaz quit a comfortable IT job to pursue a career in music. When he set up his production company All Small Things, he was forced to pivot to podcasts during the pandemic

Hear the story of how India's space programme, with its uncommon characters and impossible odds, have inspired millions through its retelling on a podcast; while the podcast 377 has helped bring lasting positive change to the LGBTQIA+ community in India by contributing to the abolition of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.

About Mission ISRO

Born into violence, poverty and the desolation of colonial exploitation, newly independent India was a nation working hard to find its footing. But its head was held high––high as the clouds. The story of India’s space programme is such an unlikely one, with so many uncommon characters, filled with such impossible odds, that it can sometimes seem like science fiction rather than science. This is that story.

About 377

377 is a scripted narrative podcast about the legal action and accompanying social movement against Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.

This anti-sodomy law was largely used to target MSM (men who have sex with men) populations in India and though rarely enforced, it was wielded as a threat against LGBTQI+ populations until 2018, when it was finally read down by the Indian Supreme Court.

About All Things Small

Gaurav Vaz is the co-founder and COO of All Things Small, a media company aiming to tell true stories. The company started back in October 2019. A bunch of people who never worked together had an idea - "creating content, which is true stories focused or non-fiction focused, coming out of the Indian subcontinent, and being told to the world."

Their one-line vision was ready, but they did not decide on the format of the content. They did not want to be restricted by format or by platform. The aim was to build the skill and ability to tell incredible stories from India in whatever format works best.
