Your favorite podcast’s favorite podcast…or however that goes. This 2025, we’re kicking things up a notch and bringing stories straight to your ears (and eyes, but that’s as per usual!). Introducing—NYLON Manila VOICES, the podcast where we listen and we don’t judge. Literally!
With the intent of letting a wide range of voices be heard as we discuss pertinent and relevant topics about growing up and dealing with change, our newest podcast will hopefully serve as a map for anyone a little lost about navigating this world we live in.
NYLON MANILA VOICES
NYLON Manila VOICES is the podcast where we discuss all the things we as the young generation wish we knew beforehand, so we have the proper tools to navigate and change the world.
What are things you’d like to know before dating? How do you balance being financially responsible and allowing yourself a treat every now and then? What are your options after graduation? What are some current issues that need to be discussed so we know how to move forward in appropriate ways? What can we do to be more sustainable as a society? How do you maintain a school/work-life balance?
If these sorts of questions are constantly floating in the back of your mind as you go through life as part of Generation Now, then VOICES is the perfect podcast for you. With our ever-changing roster of guests, we’ll address burning questions and lay down how-tos, spill the tea and learn from our mistakes, and bridge the gap between knowing and not knowing—and that’s always a good thing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
NYLON Manila VOICES will air its first episode this January 31, and it will be available first on YouTube, then on Spotify. Listen to us on the road, in your room, in your favorite pretty little cafés, in the campus library, while you’re painting or crocheting or cleaning, or even at work! Expect about 40 minutes of yapping, chaos, laughter, and lessons as we hear from people from all walks of life and collectively use our brain cells to provide an insight or two (or more) just for you.
Curious yet? Here’s what to expect from NYLON Manila VOICES!
2 (OR MORE) GUESTS
Every episode, we’ll be inviting at least one guest (everyone from content creators, students, Gen Z leaders) whose experiences and life paths are aligned with what we’ll be talking about for the episode, as well as one expert on the topic, whether it be a life coach or a professional. We’ll be incorporating diverse voices and creating a safe space for discourse to flourish, so you can hear a whole slew of experiences and perspectives that not only will get those brain gears turning, but also possibly inform some decisions you’ll make down the line—we hope!
2 HOSTS
NYLON Manila VOICES is hosted by NYLON Manila Brand Associate Bianca Lao and Features Writer Nica Glorioso, two self-professed Gen Z yappers who are eager to hear several voices out, talk about topics on their radar, and learn from the roster of guests.
1 TOPIC
Every episode, one topic, question, or issue will be tackled on VOICES. From prevalent Gen Z discourse to things no one really tells you how to navigate, this podcast is the space for that and then some. From dealing with cancel culture to making your way into the dating scene, learning how to be more responsible with your money to figuring out what you can do after graduation, we’ve got your back. All you need to do is press play on NYLON Manila VOICES, hear our voices out, and find your own as you blaze your way through life.
GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES
In VOICES, we’ve got three segments—which allows you (and us!) to stay on track and really get into the topic at hand. Read more about them below!
WHAT’S THE SITCH?
What’s the Sitch? is the first segment of the show, where the hosts and our guest/s lay down the situation, the circumstances, and the facts of what we see on our radar. An overview, if you will! Why are we talking about a certain topic? Why is it important? What don’t we know and what do we wish we knew about it? We’re bringing it all up in What’s the Sitch?
SPILL THE TEA
Think chika with a purpose! Dedicated to letting the guests speak their mind and look within, Spill the Tea will delve into the personal experiences of guests (and even the hosts) regarding the topic. If they’ve got a spicy story to tell where they learned a thing or two, or if they’ve got some insider knowledge, or if their life revolves around this certain topic, Spill the Tea will put the spotlight on these stories, perspectives, and experiences.
SOS!
As the wise Jonas Brothers have said, “This is the bottom line, it’s true.” For the last segment, we’ll be sending out an SOS! to our expert guests so they can help us out with some specific situations. For example, “SOS! How do I hold my friend accountable for something they’ve done?”
We’ll seek help from the expert for their advice on how to possibly appropriately navigate the situation at hand. You can also send in your own SOS by commenting on each VOICES episode, and maybe we’ll feature it in a future episode and you’ll get some answers directly from a well-versed expert.
Excited yet? NYLON Manila VOICES will drop very soon on YouTube and Spotify—stay tuned on our social media for updates!
