Mark Labella is the creator of “Nurse the Dead,” a brand new series on iWant. It's the first Filipino-led scripted series written, created, and filmed in Hollywood, and it follows a Filipina nurse who sees ghosts and works at the most haunted ward in LA. But the ghosts in the series were more than fiction. The series was filmed in a real hospital in Historic Filipinotown that was filled with enough spirits to turn Mark from a skeptic to a believer.  In this episode, Mark shares the paranormal activity that broke his cheery 1st Assistant Director, the spirit who blessed the set with her presence, his passion for Filipino representation in entertainment, and how he developed a mutually respectful relationship with the spirits of the hospital.

New York City hotels, while expensive, often are much smaller and simpler than travelers expect. While you won't spend much time in your hotel, it's important to understand what your room and hotel experience will entail in NYC.In this episode, we'll cover:Average hotel pricesTaxes & fees to be aware ofRoom size & what to expect for (the lack of) amenitiesThe Airbnb situationPro tips to maximize your NYC hotel experience1. The Price of a Bed in NYCAverage Range: $250–$400 depending on neighborhood (Times Square = highest)Budget [think hostel-style] ($115 +) vs. mid-range ($225+) vs. luxury ($500+++)Weekdays (cheaper) vs. weekends, and seasonal swings matter (Jan & Feb are often the cheapest time)2. Taxes & Fees: The Hidden CostBase rate is never what you pay — 14.75% in combined state/city taxes + $3.50/night flat feesReal-world example: one traveler's fees came to 29% of their room costEven the fees get taxed on top of each otherPro tip: always check the total before booking, not just the nightly rateSome hotels add in resort fees, mandatory daily fees for food/drink, etc.3. Room Size & What to ExpectNYC rooms average ~300 sq ft — and that includes the bathroom and closetsMicro-hotels can go as small as 60 sq ftElevator overload is real — older buildings, high occupancy, long waitsWhat you won't find: microwaves, pools, hot tubs (rare exceptions exist), very small mini fridges (or none at all)4. The Airbnb SituationLocal Law 18 (Sept 2023) essentially banned short-term rentals — listings dropped from 22,000 to under 7,000 overnightSide effect: hotel prices went up ~6–7% as a resultVisitors coming from other cities expecting Airbnb as a budget option will be caught off guard5. Tips for Doing It RightBag storage: hotels will hold your luggage for free, tip the porterSkip hotel breakfast — go get a bagel or hit a dinerPools and hot tubs exist but are the exception, not the ruleBook at least a month out for better pricingYou'll Have to Check It Out - Pig and KhaoAt Pig and Khao on the Upper West Side, their head chef Leah Cohen pays homage to her Filipino upbringing with a variety of Southeast Asian dishes and flavors.The portions, as part of their family-style meal, are MASSIVE. And the vibes are laid-back, perfect.

This week's guest was sketching out his dream bakery in a high school notebook. That alone might not be too remarkable, but turning those daydreams into one of Chicago's most talked-about bakeries certainly is. Pastry chef Justin Lerias is the owner of Del Sur Bakery, where Filipino flavors meet Midwestern pastry traditions in creations like longanisa croissants, turon danishes, and toasted rice croissants. His rise, from working at Lost Larson and Big Jones, to baking hundreds of pastries out of his apartment, to opening a bakery with lines stretching down the block, has been remarkably fast. Even more impressive is the humility, humor, and care with which he has handled it all. This episode, we talk about learning pastry without culinary school, producing hundreds of croissants from an apartment kitchen, Malört tea cake, and so much more.

Top Chef Season 23 Finale Recap Top Chef season 23 comes to a close as Haley Strong, Curt Clark, and Chef Jim Smith break down the finale in the Carolinas. With the finalists tasked to create a four-course progressive meal, the hosts spotlight clever strategies, unique menu choices, and surprising emotional moments. They examine how chefs honor their roots and mentors, navigate vague theming, and tackle high-stakes technical challenges in the kitchen. The hosts analyze how the “toast to someone or something” requirement shapes each chef's menu, from Rhoda's California-inspired sweet potato and uni opener to Sherry's ambitious multi-component dishes. They dig into the logistics and fairness of judging four-course meals course-by-course versus as a whole, with Chef Jim Smith offering firsthand insights from his own Top Chef finale experience. Stories behind each dish come to life, such as Lawrence's Chinatown duck homage and the impact of family visits that bring everyone—including listeners—to tears. Rhoda's bold choice to skip dessert and serve a rich Filipino-inspired calderetta stirs debate on menu strategy and finale traditions. Sherry's complex, ingredient-heavy dishes spark discussion about balancing risk with execution and the pitfalls of over-plating. The infamous “knife draw” moment and its anticlimactic aftermath get dissected for its impact on the finale's flow. Technical kitchen challenges—like keeping kanji at the right temperature and navigating ice cream plating in the heat—give fresh perspective on behind-the-scenes pressures. A detour on phrenology, Tom Colicchio's earrings, and restaurant closings adds color and levity to the finale recap. As the season closes, the hosts ask: does the best approach win out in these finales—story, strategy, or execution? Where does season 23 land compared to past Top Chef years, and could new locations like Hawaii, Alaska, or the Southwest invigorate the next round? Follow the full discussion for sharp culinary insights, chef-centric analysis, and the definitive take on Top Chef's season 23 finale.

Saadia Khan sits down with Raj Goyle, whose parents came from India with a few dollars and a medical degree. His mom was the only female OB in Wichita shut out by the establishment, so she built her own referral network with Filipino and Vietnamese immigrant doctors. Raj took a different path: civil rights lawyer, ACLU after 9/11, state legislator, tech founder. Now he's in New York challenging a 20-year incumbent for State Comptroller. And he's got receipts: the current office is spending $1 billion in Wall Street fees that aren't growing your pension. It's proactively buying Palantir stock with your money. And there's a utility regulator in Albany cooking the books on your electric bill that nobody will touch. Oh, and his 83-year-old mother, naturalized for nearly 50 years, is scared she'll be deported. This is the race. Hit play.
