About Talking Titos

We’re two Filipino American men who grew up in the U.S. — me (Jo), who took the traditional path college, career, and family, and my co-host Mel, who’s had a wilder ride. He’s raising his boy and has had many life lessons, but he’s come out stronger through it all. On Talking Titos, we keep it real. We talk about everyday Filipino American life — culture, family, and struggles. Sometimes we give advice, sometimes we just laugh about the crazy stuff we’ve seen, and we hope to sit down with other Fil-Ams to hear their stories. Come out and hang with your titos!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
