In fact, according to leading global music streaming service Spotify based on a recently conducted survey in partnership with YouGov, audio listening is a huge part in the everyday lives of Filipinos. The findings in the said survey show that 85 percent of Filipinos tune in to some type of music or podcast content throughout the day while 74 percent want time away from their screens. With more than 850,000 active channels and 30 million episodes available across the globe based on data from Oberlo, there's no question how impactful and trubitastic audioblogging and storytelling through podcasts are for many Filipino listeners and I think there are those that are considerably good for various types of listeners.
And since this article is all about Filipino podcasts, it is obvious that my list of recommended podcasts focus more on the local ones since I assume that you may ask. These five locally-produced podcasts are not just only the best to listen and indulge, but also bring Filipino pride. With these in mind, here is the trubist's list of five recommended Filipino podcasts that are worth listening for while staying safe at home.
