Welcome to Yapping About Stuff, a podcast produced and created by JI Yap. I am a bilingual podcaster who speaks English and Filipino. In this podcast, I ask people about what they're passionate about in life and what they love talking about the most, no matter how ridiculous or profound it might be. We all have amazing stories to tell and love for many things we want to share with each other. I want to provide anybody with a safe space to share these stuff and to give them even just an hour or so to yap to someone willing to listen.
