Art by keenekong, a black and white chalk or pencil-like style of a doll girl with different puppets all around her, all horrifying, with one on her hand depicting a priest and the other marionette looking like a frog-like monster with glowing eyes and a mouth in its stomach. She looks incredibly menacing with more dolls behind her.

Episode 86.1: The Jazz Man (Pride 2026) Len the Jazz Man had a fan. The same one, every night he performed at the Imperial Pub. He knew it was them - even if they wore a different face, a different body, every time they came. He knew them, and he loved them. If only they'd admit it was them. Maybe they could have a future together. (But they never would)

Philippine Politics + Horror Podcasts As much as I think people enjoy the Filipino culture I put forward in Hi Nay and Dominus, there's definitely still a big cultural divide with regards to the harsh reality that exists among Filipinos. Mari and Father Jonas both come from a violent background due to killings by the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) and PNP (Philippine National Police). They commit massacres against civilians and then lie about it, and this is not surprising when you realize the AFP in particular is trained by the US Armed Forces and the IDF. Mari killed 20 policemen before she moved to Canada, because they were about to attack and kill a poor baranggay and mark it down as a successful drug raid (read: they would plant drugs and guns on civilians). While she is not haunted by guilt, she's haunted by the thing that was born from the mass killing. She is also haunted by her Tatay (dad) being tortured and killed by the AFP.

Hi po Nay! Alam ko pong matagal na tayong di nagusap. Busy kasi ako. [Sigh] Sorry po. Medyo pangit yung dating, no? I know it’s been a while since we last talked. I’ve been… busy. [Sigh] Yeah, that sounded worse out loud than it did in my head. Alam ko na di maganda yung dahilan. Masyado akong maraming dahilan na di tumawag, pero di ka kasi- I know it’s a bad excuse. I’ve made too many excuses not to call, but it’s not like you’re in any state to- [Sigh] Ayun. [Sigh] Anyway.
