Quick Questions with Mark and Eunice

What do we know about elementals in Pinoy folklore?

As usual the two recollects childhood experiences and even a few lessons in Filipino history. It's another satisfying trip into the rabbit hole of Pinoy folklore.

What are some of the lesser-known elementals?

Mark, as usual, is ready with his ad-hoc language lessons, anecdotes, and humorous remarks.

Are rebels really attractive? Why is horror a go-to genre for movie dates?

We are kicking off the show with a chat around dating. We’ve seen it many time portrayed in movies, do girls really find bad boys attractive? In this episode, Eunice shares her thoughts about this.

Trailer - Quick Questions with Mark and Eunice

Quick Questions Podcast or QQ, we call it, is one of the projects that came out of the 2020 PH lockdown and the 6-month break I took from work. Eunice, the significant human, and I would hop into a video call nearly every night and we’d start talking about our respective days which often lead to us sharing thoughts about almost anything under the sun. One day, while cleaning up my inbox–which means skimming through my emails from several mailing lists before I send them to the bin–I saw an article about podcasting using Zoom. This gave me the idea. With our knack for creating digital content from simple photographs and articles to videos and our wide range of interests, I thought we could let some people into our conversations and possibly share some neat insights. Fast forward to January 2021, we have released Season 1 of Quick Questions. - Mark
