In 2017, we got fascinated about the idea of starting our own podcast that is spoken in Filipino & English. Our podcast is about our experiences and encounters that spark curious conversations about our life as a Filipino husband & wife living in Australia.
Goodbye 2024, hello 2025! Let's look back at 2024, like so many people do. Pero podcast! Truly original!
Social media. It's everywhere. It's on your phone, on your PC... Well actually that's it. Yet it's also so much more. So much that we're talking about it. We use it every day like it's normal, but we don't often think about how much impact it's had on our lives and how it's changed the way we interact with friends, family (and strangers?) overall. But what are you doing reading this? Just play the damn thing! :)
Life has its up and downs, and none more so than with the friendships that we go through. As the years go by, our friendships change, evolve, and in some ways are never the same. What makes these friendships? What breaks them? And what do we learn out of the ups and downs of friendship? Find out in this episode! :)
"What do you do for work?" It's a common question that we ask when we're socializing. Why? Because work is such a big part of our lives. For some, it takes a lot of their life. For others, even more. So let's talk about it, oki?
What? We're still here? Of course! And we're here to talk about your peace of mind, and people that can break that peace or keep it together. It's serious, it's fun, it's Ivan and Kat the Podcast!
Mahilig ka ba sa sa chismis? Sa comedy? Sa cartoons? Sa Chicharon? Well, meron kami ng lahat ng yan except chicharon. Let's chill and talk about Star Wars, 200 dogs, and bald protagonists as we dive in to episode 3!
We're talking about these bunch of things: - Lottery - EVs - Rewind and Blue Eyed Samurai Now why would you care that we're talking about these? I don't know. Maybe you're bored? Maybe you care so much about these that you want to know what others think? Maybe you just love our podcast? Who knows!
New Year, new format! Gone are most of the pre-set questions and prep, and hello free-flow! Heaps of effects added as well, so you don't get bored with just our voices. In this episode about more stuff like our recent Auckland, New Zealand trip, some interesting news about a guy that gets his girlfriend a Php 299 engagement ring (???) and the customary looking back to 2023 and looking forward in 2024, but having God in the centre of it all. So sit back, relax and enjoy! Peace!
What happens when you put together a dream, loved ones, and money? If you answered a Disney Cruise, you're either a mind reader or you read the title, congrats! In this episode, we talk about our experience with our first Disney Cruise trip, as well as some tips to help you make your first time experience be just a little bit better. Enjoy!
Join us as we talk about a recent fiesta we went to here in Australia, as well as some good qualities we absolutely love about being Filipinos!
One of our favourite places to travel to: Japan! And we went back! This time, we went to Tokyo. And then we did this, and that, and and and... Jooke! Bakit ko ikukwento dito? Ano ka sinuswerte? I-play mo na bilis!
Who would've known we'd like Hobart so much? We certainly didn't, but we did! Oh, also some stuff about money and adulting stuff. But, Hobart!
Join Ivan and Kat as they talk about the Backstreet Boys concert, more marriage stuff (can't get enough of it) and bits and pieces in between. 'nuff said!
Last episode we talked about Project Management, but Project Management isn't limited to just our work. We all manage different aspects of our lives. So we talk about that: Managing your friends, family and your relationship with God. Aaand I'm pretty sure we talked about some other stuff there as well. Check it out, yeah?
So most of our topic on this one is about Project Management (paki basa po yung title). Maybe too serious? Too corporate? I dunno, try mo baka exciting pala. Sabi nga nila, don't judge the book and it's cover. Tama ba?
In this episode we talk about our recent travel to Adelaide, and other stuff that relates to travel. Also, we have some tips for future home owners out there. Enjoy!
Christmas! Most would say it is the best holiday of the year (and we agree!). But it's not all rainbows and sunshine, right? Listen in as we talk about Christmas tradition, a low budget, not-too-well-known movie called Avatar and just, you know, stuff you'll find out once you listen to the freakin' episode. So play it... Now! :p
They say you never forget your first time, and it's true! We experienced a couple of first time since our last episode, and we're share and laugh at them as we talk about a lot of stuff that's hard to forget.
Welcome back! In this episode, we talk about the new movie Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and spoilers abound so be warned. We also talk about something new we're getting. Also, what is the weirdest thing you've ever experienced? Have you ever had that thing you've always wanted, but it turns out it wasn't really that good? All this and more, so stick around!
In this episode, we talk about camping, ideal vacations and some unsolicited advise just for you.
This episode, we talk about series that we've watched that revolves around fraud. Then we do a 180 and talk about trust, as we remember those wedding planning days. Do you fake it till you make it? Do weddings actually matter? We'll stumble thru all of those questions and more, so jump in!
Don't miss season 4 episode 3 of Ivan & Kat the Podcast, where we talk about marriage, bath houses, and the art of eavesdropping.
Ah, COVID. We've said it, we've feared it, and for most of us, we've had it. We can't get enough of it so we'll talk about it some more! Have you ever wondered what you're life could be if you did things differently? So do we, so we'll talk about that too! Also, we have some guests with us who will talk about these and other stuff as well! So sit tight and relax for a jam-packed episode.

When we had an idea on doing a podcast, it took about 3 months to us to buy a podcast microphone and then a year to actually start recording. Why? Well... we procrastinated. In this podcast, we discuss reasons why we, hoomans, procrastinate according to DevelopGoodHabits.com and how we can address this bad habit and become productive hoomans. ------------------- Credits: 1.

Recently we bought a robot vacuum and we were so amazed that we posted a video of it on Facebook, our mom posted a comment on the vacuum saying “Naku, gawaing tamad yan!”. That comment became the basis for this episode – our thoughts on the convenience on why we use new gadgets in doing our household chores that the Baby boomers generation think it’s the lazy way of doing house chores. ------------------- Credits: 1.
