Happy Pride and Filipino Heritage Month!

Thank you so much for being patient with me when I hit some schedule bumps. I wanted to show my appreciation with this bonus episode regarding some cultural background for Hi Nay, specifically for Mari's character and backstory. 

In this episode, we're covering the following topics:

 

•   Why Mari is not a babaylan
•   The difference between Tagalog and Bisaya
•   What is a katalonan? 
•   Mari's anting-anting and lingling-o (the pendants around her neck) 
•   Mari's Tagalog gods (Anagolay, Lakampati [Lakapati or Ikapati], and Lakambakod) 

If you'd like to learn more about the cultural context I put into Hi Nay, let me know and I'll make this a series! I love talking about Filipino culture, folklore, mythology, and history. This first episode is available for all listeners but future episodes may drop earlier for Patrons and later for the public. 

Cheers,

Motzie
