From insightful conversations with local personalities to in-depth storytelling and entertainment, you’ll find something that will spark your interest. So, here’s our curated list of top Filipino podcasts on Spotify to keep you entertained, informed, or inspired.

Barangay Love Stories

If you’re a romantic at heart or simply want to relate to fellow netizen’s stories of love and heartbreak, we highly recommend you give this podcast a try.

Powered by GMA  Network, Inc., Barangay Love Stories is one of the most popular Filipino podcasts on Spotify. It shares weekly stories of love, life, and hope from devoted listeners of Barangay LS 97.1 FM. The host, Papa Dudut, reads ‘Kabarangays’ letters to set the scene. The podcast also includes dramatizations to bring the stories to life.

The podcast is rated 4.8 stars by 4.1k listeners on Spotify and currently has 292 episodes – so make sure to set aside plenty of time to catch up! You can listen to Barangay Love Stories here:

Papa Dudut Stories

If the dramatization in the Barangay Love Stories podcast isn’t your cup of tea, Papa Dudut Stories is our best-recommended alternative if you want to listen to netizens’ anecdotes on love, life, and hope. Each episode touches on controversial topics, which keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Papa Dudut Stories may currently only have a 4.5-star rating from 64 listeners, but it’s one of the fastest-rising Filipino podcasts on Spotify. You can binge its 26 episodes here:

Podcast ni Kenti

Social media influencer, Kenti, shares his experiences on life, love, and school. Whether it’s getting over a situation, managing academic pressure, or self-sabotaging mindsets, Kenti’s podcast focuses on self-help, providing comfort, and inspiring motivation to everyone. If there’s one word to encapsulate the entire podcast, we’ll describe it as ‘relatable.’

The podcast episodes only run around 15-30 minutes long, so you can listen to Kenti’s insights whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. 1.2k listeners rated Podcast ni Kenti 5.0 stars on Spotify. With 15 episodes, you can easily catch up to them here:

Will Talks

Originally started on Tiktok, Will Talks is hosted by Jan Will Chua and powered by TAGM Pod Network. The episodes discuss heartbreak and other love woes to comfort and inspire the brokenhearted. 

Whether you’re recovering from a failed relationship, situationship, or confused about mixed signals, we recommend you give this show a listen if you need advice or simply want to cry your heart out.

The podcast’s episodes run between 6 and 15 minutes long, so they’re great for binging within a day or two. It’s rated 4.9 stars on Spotify by 1.9k users and has 16 episodes under its belt. You can listen to Will Talks here:

Sitio Bangungot – Pinoy Horror Stories for Sleep Podcast

If you have a penchant for horror stories, Sitio Bangungot may be the perfect podcast for you. 

It immerses you in spine-chilling tales submitted by their listeners. Their episodes tackle narratives rooted in Filipino folklore, such as ghosts, aswang, engkanto, and other supernatural beings. The podcast is delivered in Tagalog, making it a perfect choice if you’re looking for authentic cultural horror. 

They label themselves as a sleep podcast, but we don’t think you’ll be able to get some shuteye once you tune into the show. We also like that the narrator’s deep and relaxing voice enhances the creepy atmosphere of each episode.

Sitio Bangungot has a 4.3-star rating from 1.4k listeners and 259 episodes to boot since they upload new content every two days. You can listen to the podcast here:

Dear MOR

Dear MOR originally started as a radio broadcast on MOR 101.9 FM, but now they’ve migrated to a podcast format where you can listen to their episodes any time you like.

If you can’t get enough of Tagalog love stories, we recommend adding this show to your list. Like Barangay Love Stories and Papa Dudut Stories, Dear MOR tackles their listeners’ tales of love, heartbreak, and personal triumphs. The podcast also incorporates dramatization, so you can fully immerse into the emotions of the narratives.

However, it sounds like the creators slightly sped up their audio, which we think ruins the emotive atmosphere that the show is supposed to have. Plus, we think it’s unnecessary since you can easily adjust the audio speed if you’re listening from the Spotify mobile app.

Regardless, 1.8k listeners have rated Dear MOR 4.8 stars on the platform. It currently has 350 episodes since fresh content is uploaded every Monday and Friday. You can listen to the show here:

Final Thoughts

Spotify may be known as one of the top streaming services for all things music, but it’s also a treasure trove for the best Filipino podcasts. As the Filipino podcast scene continues to grow, you won’t be short on finding a program to tune into.

However, if you can’t decide which show to listen to first, most of the audience agree that Barangay Love Stories is the most entertaining. After all, it constantly stays on top of Spotify’s podcast charts. But if the show isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to check out the other shows on our list!
