Greetings, friends! Episode 44 here.

Some would say the number 4 as "bad luck", some would see it as "good luck", or if you're like me a neutral you'll be like "meh", then here's an invisible high-5 from me to you.

Anyway, this episode brings a conversation from an emcee to another, a host to another, and a podcaster to another. Meet Joachim, a friend and a friendship that blooms through podcasting. Knowing him first as an emcee for events that I have previously attended, last year was the start of the friendship as I appeared as a guest of Fuel Good Podcast hosted by him and produced by Peter, also another good friend of mine with the same passion for podcasting.

So, friends. Enjoy this episode as we delve deep into his life as an emcee, a podcaster, how eloquent and intelligent he is with his thoughts and how stories of people inspire him to be a better person - hence, the podcast.

I am inviting you to listen to a young man's story who once dreamed of living life as an entertainer & in following the footsteps of his idol, Pak Nil.

Meet Steward Dawi, an individual with years of broadcasting experience under his belt & using it to educate and inform the people of Sarawak through his flair and his unique characteristics.

As one of the few TVS crews who trailblazed a heavy task to read news and to produce shows in Iban, Steward knows not to give up but to lift the challenge up; for his love of broadcasting is too strong for him to give in.

Join me in the conversation, grab a can or two of beer while listening to his story that is worth the listen. Also available on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

Hello, friends! Welcome to the 38th episode of the podcast.

It is an impromptu episode whereby I was actually on an audio test for another recording tomorrow and it's a two-guest set up so I brought in Niven and Emma for a sound check, and decided later on to have Icebreaker as our sound-check content but little did we know that it flowed very damn well. No visuals as well cause like I've mentioned, it is all impromptu. Haha.

Enjoy the thought-provoking questions that we've had and I hope that some of the answers do resonate with your life, too. That is the essence of the podcast, in bringing something home as a takeaway to your life.

Hello, friends! Welcome to the podcast!This episode features two interesting guests who were once a radio announcer of Malaysia’s famous purple-coloured radio station based in Sarawak. Introducing Natasha Juan and Yusuf Shukri, former radio jockeys who are now podcasters (like me hehe). This podcast episode talks about their experience in broadcasting, and also about our relationship with our pasts, our family members, and where we're heading towards in the future. This episode is also available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. A hearty lunch I had bro. A very pork person! Radio gave us a playground I was a timid when young Growing up & conscious about my thoughts. I started being outgoing after college. The podcast is a breath of fresh air. The “justsaying” is raw, relatable & with values. The podcast isn’t curated. I’m not an Iban, bro… Shout-out to product China! Afick makes the whole work easier for the podcast What rules were made to be broken as a child? People will wake me up in the bus I wore a pinafore to the cybercafe. I played tiang in school. I go to the cybercafe alone Anything but numbers as career, hence radio. Hard lessons in life bring values in you. I kept my talents hidden. I didn’t like being competitive. The only competition I have is myself. My mum and I didn’t see eye to eye but we fought for the relationship. I started running away from home since young My mum is the water of the volcanic eruption. The dream I had at Wrong Place was indescribable My mum and I vibe well I love my mum, don’t get me wrong Grateful that my parents are still with me I don’t want to work in KL. Conversation with my mum was hard Tasha has the qualities to go above and beyond than staying in Kuching. Leaving Hitz was an impulse decision If I’m not happy, how can I keep on pretending to be one? I felt empty. If you don’t quit now, you wouldn’t know what you’re capable of. I reached the final straw of my career. No TikTok videos. I hate the attention Traumatic experience was when I was sexually abused online. “50 Shades of Natasha” I’ve never done anything for myself I want him with Hitz! The first person I had for the pod is Natasha You don’t have to be mean to make a point. I took a backseat from TikTok & Twitter. I “might” love being a cabin crew You can find money anywhere, anytime but not relationships. Kuching has the talent like those in KL. I’m happy, and I am at that point of life. I need to improve my health tho! Life is too short for people to grow up. And age is just a number. Joachim is another podcaster that we know in Kuching. I don’t want my future child to end up like me. Branded stuff is just bluff. A great life, partner, everything. That is what I want. I wanna see Natasha do news reading. We were both in Mass Comm. I am not a teacher~ I’ve never written a resume before Baiklah, sekian itu sahaja!

Don’t ask me about my salary. You should be happy that I could afford things. Don’t come near me if you have bad intentions. “Cinta Abadi” ft. Anding I never mime my songs. I had 5 ulcers while singing. I will transpose my keys, depending on the scenario. Being a Miss Malaysia World 2014 has always been a dream. I went blacked out alone at my house. “Elephant! Undeserved!” Thank you for your hate comments. I appreciate it. I have received dick pics! Criteria in a guy that you want. Barry, agent mencari cinta. Bad breath or bad body odour? “You want some Mentos?” I like to take things slow.

Hello, friends!

Have you ever wonder on how would it be for a teacher to teach somewhere deep in the jungle with no access to basic necessities; things we city men and women would take for granted and for those living in the interior - taking it as their luxury?

How would you react if you are about to face death?

Meet Derek, who is living the lives I have described above. With his heart on his sleeve for his students, an aspiring teacher in leading the kids (as he would call them as) to greater heights - both academically and in sports. He has also shared his story on how he has guided his students to compete in both state and regional levels; a feat that deserves the credit all the way from Baram, Sarawak.

After years of battling cancer, the Lord called Ayie to His eternal place in May 2017. Three months later, friends of Ayie gathered together and recorded two songs as tribute to the creative head behind the songs. Both music arrangements were inspired by Ayie.

Hello, friends! Episode 15 (yes it's 15 and not 14, the intro was a blunder 😂) is about a girl who fancied buying local jewelries at first. However, a random or tiber idea popped in her head when she said "I could start making my own too).

Even during COVID, boring minds can wander away and do things one could never thought of. We conversed on how it was difficult to juggle in between her daily job and her passion, especially when it is a one-woman-show.

Hang out with us as we talk about his encounter with music, how he first fell in love with bass, his thoughts on the current Dayak music scene. We have both shared our views about the scene today and how to make it bloom and grow.

For someone who loves the kitchen, Nathaniel has shared his favourite dishes to cook; homemade food that is good for the mind, body and soul. Have you heard of Kolok Mee & Laksa combined? Me, neither. But this guy has, as it's from his own wicked idea, unheard of, and peculiar too!

Hello, friends! Let me introduce you to a friend, Meldrick, or better known as Bob. He left his promising career, was chased out from home and travelled to Indonesia to pursue his dream, and how it all brought him to a band, now a household name in Sarawak and beyond - At Adau. As Dayaks we both are, we also talked about how we wanted to get the society away from the "Dayak Dream" mindset. Y'all heard of the American Dream, now hear us about the Dayak Dream.
