Adobo Yarn
The podcast is about navigating the migrant life as Filipinos in Australia, discussing culture, food, experiences and adventures. "Adobo" represents the rich and layered nature of the human experience. Just like adobo can be adapted with different ingredients and methods, our lives are a blend of diverse influences made rich through the stories and culture that we bring and the new traditions that we create.
"Yarn" symbolises the sharing of stories and experiences. We are weaving a narrative together, connecting with each other through the threads of our personal histories and perspectives.”

Ep 33 - The Winter Pivot - from sabaw to required cold weather fashion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The crisp air has officially hit, and you know what that means—it’s time for the "Winter Pivot." In this episode, Anna and Razel settle in with hot mugs to discuss the inevitable shift from summer ease to winter survival.
We’re diving deep into the seasonal wardrobe transition: the ritual of bringing out the scarves and beanies, and the perfect pair of boots that can survive a rainy commute. But staying warm isn't just about what you wear; it's about what you eat. We share our ultimate winter comforts, comparing the soul-warming power of traditional Pinoy soups (team Sinigang or Bulalo?) against the flaky, golden embrace of a classic warming pie, or the comfort hug of champorado!
We also get real about the practical side of the chill. We share our (sometimes desperate) energy-saving hacks at home—turn off the heater (?), the strategic use of Oodies to the Filipino-parent-approved method of "just putting on another jumper." We also share our honest take on what we appreciate (and strongly dislike) about the Australian winter.
Pull up a chair, grab a bowl of something steaming, and join the yarn. Or better yet, we'd love to hear your tips for staying warm and toasty during the winter months!
