The Philippines is famous for its media, and podcasts are one of these forms. In this article, we are going to discuss some famous Filipino podcasts which can also help you learn Tagalog since they are like the everyday conversations of Filipino people.

My Voyage Towards Filipino Podcasts

Last year my friends and I decided to plan a trip to the Philippines. 

We took a month off from the busy routine of our lives and booked our tickets. We landed in Manila, the capital of the Philippines and took a cab from the airport, and went to our hotel. 

The first night was full of excitement as I am an adventurous person, so I was excited to explore the culture of the Philippines. But the first hindrance that came our way was the language problem. 

Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines, and as we had never been there, we didn’t even know the basics.

The other factor that hindered our journey was the fact that we didn’t know anything about the basic details of this culture. (Because without having the know-how of culture it is impossible to truly enjoy the journey). 

The best and easiest way to learn the culture and understand the basics was by listening to Filipino podcasts. 

There are different categories of Podcasts, and we could easily choose the topic on which we wanted to gather information.

Some podcasts talk about the culture of the Philippines, on the other hand, some discuss the language, and still others about stories of every kind.

Choosing Podcasts Related To Filipino Culture

Our focus was on the culture, so we explored those kinds of podcasts, and to be very honest it was a lovely experience. 

I mean how good it feels when you know what you want to know without even getting bored. We wanted to just learn the basics and we ended up learning so much more. After that, we truly enjoyed the trip.
