Cutting across various genres:GMA Integrated News engages audiences via timely podcasts

True to its ‘Mas malaking misyon, mas malawak na paglilingkod sa bayan,’ GMA Integrated News (GMAIN) continues to innovate and deliver credible and engaging content beyond television — producing podcasts that tackle a wide range of topics relevant to Filipinos wherever they may be.

Developed by GMA Integrated News Digital Strategy and Innovation Lab (DigiLab), these podcasts include “The Howie Severino Podcast,” “The Mangahas Interviews,” “Updated with Nelson Canlas,” “Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel,” “Share Ko Lang,” and “Game On!”

Launched in 2021, “The Howie Severino Podcast” is GMAIN’s first original podcast and is hosted by veteran journalist Howie Severino. With new episodes dropping every Thursday, the podcast showcases Severino’s insightful conversations with thought leaders from a wide range of fields, such as culture, history, and politics.

In 2021, “The Howie Severino Podcast” was among Spotify’s “Best New Podcasts” of the year. It was also hailed as the Best Educational Program in the 45th Catholic Mass Media Awards in 2023.

This year, the podcast celebrates its third anniversary by launching its first-ever audiozone. A first face-to-face podcast interview with Howie, the audiozone is definitely a feast for the senses as it is recorded in both crisp audio and brilliant video that listeners can both watch and enjoy.

For the debut episode of the audiozone, Howie met renowned foodie influencer John Sherwin Felix, better known as Lokalpedia, to explore the Philippines’ culinary treasures.

Meanwhile, veteran investigative journalist Malou Mangahas also lends her expertise to podcast listeners through “The Mangahas Interviews.” With new episodes every Friday, its audience is given the chance to learn from interviews with political figures and newsmakers of the week.

Kapuso all over the world will also not miss out on their favorite artists through “Updated with Nelson Canlas,” GMA Network’s first and only showbiz podcast. Through the digital show, veteran entertainment anchor Nelson Canlas unveils intimate and revealing interviews with the Philippines’ biggest celebrities. New episode drops every Tuesday.

“Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel,” on the other hand, makes conversations a little more exciting and spontaneous every Wednesday. A podcast with a twist, it shows award-winning broadcast journalist Pia Arcangel do her interviews without knowing beforehand who her guest will be.

Focused on discussions about mental health, top clinical psychologist Dr. Anna Tuazon talks about relatable everyday issues among Filipinos, including love, life, and career, through the “Share Ko Lang” podcast. The digital show releases fresh episodes twice a month.

Last April 12, GMAIN, in collaboration with Regional TV and Synergy, also launched its newest and first-ever sports podcast, “Game On!,” which drops every Friday. Hosted by “24 Oras’” Game Changer segment host Martin Javier and sports personalities Anton Roxas and Martin “Coach Hammer” Antonio, the “Game On” podcast makes sports a lot more interesting and inspiring through stories, interviews, and special features on athletes, coaches, and sports luminaries.

“As part of its mission to bring wider public service to Filipinos, GMAIN continues to think of ways to reach more audiences by innovating and maximizing the various technological platforms we currently have. As people make use of the internet for information, we aim to become a leader in producing relevant, credible, and facts-based news and information digitally through podcasts that spark conversations in an engaging and more entertaining way. Listeners are definitely up for something very fruitful and intellectual listening to our digital shows since these are hosted by high-caliber broadcast journalists and experts who can impart new knowledge in a relatable and entertaining way,” says Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.

Catch GMAIN’s “The Howie Severino Podcast,” “The Mangahas Interviews,” “Updated with Nelson Canlas,” “Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel,” “Share Ko Lang,” and “Game On!” in Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and other social media platforms.

Elias, naiipit sa Team Bane at Team Nimfa

Kung na-satisfy si Elias (Ruru Madrid) sa tamis ng pinya ni Nimfa (Angeli Khang), the feeling is mutual para sa mga viewers dahil patuloy nilang kinaaaliwan ang mga bagong kaganapan sa hit primetime series na Black Rider tuwing gabi!

Sa pagdating ni Nimfa sa eksena, ramdam na ng viewers na mukhang magkakaroon ng hindi inaasahang karibal si Bane (Yassi Pressman). Curious tuloy ang marami, ano nga ba ang magiging epekto ni Nimfa sa kasalukuyang mabuting ugnayan nina Elias at Bane?

Wish ng Team Bane, huwag naman sana makaapekto si Nimfa dahil dadagdag pa ito sa mahabang listahan ng mga problemang kinahaharap ni Elias. Sey naman ng Team Nimfa, for sure naman ay may mahalagang papel ang dilag sa buhay ni Black Rider.

For sure, marami pa ang dapat abangan para masagot ang katanungan! Kaya naman, huwag pahuhuli sa iba pang matatamis na eksena sa Black Rider, weeknights, 8 pm sa GMA Prime at 9:40 pm sa GTV. #noelasinas #GMAKapuso

Pretty Competente (Angel Leighton). On his quest to find the criminal, he initially points at his longtime foe, crime syndicate leader Luther Abueva (Michael De Mesa) but in a gripping twist, Tolome eventually finds out that one of his most trusted ally Ace Catacutan (Ejay Falcon) is behind the attack.

The suspenseful ending does not stop there, as it takes an emotional turn that will leave no questions unanswered: Who was Diamond Ricci (Celeste Cortesi) really after? Did his closest comrade really betray him for his sworn enemy? What does this mean for Tolome and his squad? Will an important character die at the end?

Traydor kay Tolome, mabibisto na!

Lalong umiinit ang mga action-packed na kaganapan kay Tolome (Sen. Bong Revilla) dahil malapit na niyang malaman ang isang pasabog na sikretong magbabago ng kanyang buhay sa huling dalawang linggo ng ‘Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis.’

Matapos madisgrasya si Msgt. Pretty Competente sa isang organized hit and run, desidido ngayon si Tolome na gawin ang lahat upang hanapin kung sino ang may pakana nito. Sa isang di inaasahang twist na gugulat kay Tolome, isa pala sa pinakamalapit niyang katiwala ang utak sa krimen na nag-iwan kay Msgt. Pretty sa ospital.

Madidiskubre na kaya ni Tolome ang ahas na matagal nang nagtatago sa kanyang puder? Ano naman kaya ang maisisiwalat na sikreto ni Capt. Ace Catacutan na magbabago sa takbo ng misyon ni Tolome?

Abangan ang mas mabibigat na aksyon at emosyonal na eksena mula sa susunod na episode ng ‘Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis,’ ngayong Linggo, 7:15 PM sa GMA Network.

Myrtle, bistado na! Relasyon nina Kristoffer at Claire, nanganganib?!

Managot na ang dapat managot dahil patuloy ang pagsabog ng katotohanan sa pambansang revenge drama tuwing hapon — ang Makiling!

Mukhang malapit na talaga ang katapusan ni Portia (Myrtle Sarrosa) dahil hindi na mapigilan ang paglabas ng kanyang baho, lalo na ang masasamang nagawa niya sa pamilya ni Amira (Elle Villanueva) ilang taon na ang nakalipas. Paano kaya haharapin ng magkapatid na Amira at Rose (Thea Tolentino) ang lihim na katotohanan ukol sa pagkamatay ng kanilang ama?

Damang-dama rin ang emosyon sa eksena nang aminin ni Seb (Kristoffer Martin) kay Maxine (Claire Castro) ang ginawa niyang panggagahasa kay Amira noon. Marami tuloy ang lumalabas na haka-haka mula sa mga marites kung magiging game over na ba ang relasyon ng dalawa.

Dahil sa tumitinding mga kaganapan, hindi na rin makabitiw sa pagsubaybay ang sambayanan! Umabot nga ng mahigit 1.8 million views ang latest trailer ng serye at patuloy itong pinag-uusapan online.

Abangan ang mas umiinit pang mga eksena sa Makiling, 4 p.m. sa GMA Afternoon Prime.

‘Medical mission’ ni Doc Analyn, abot sa Black Rider

Non-stop talaga ang mga pasabog ng action-packed series na Black Rider dahil magkakasama na ang kasangga ng masa at ang pinakabatang neurosurgeon sa Pilipinas!

Sa trailer na ipinalabas recently, makikitang magku-krus ang landas nina Elias (Ruru Madrid) at ni Doc Analyn (Jillian Ward) ng hit afternoon prime series na Abot-Kamay na Pangarap. Marami ang curious kung ano nga ba ang magiging papel ng doktora sa buhay ng bida lalo’t makikita sa trailer na parehong duguan sina Elias at Doc Analyn sa isang eksena.

Dahil sa crossover ng dalawang hit Kapuso series, talaga namang lalong na-excite ang viewers sa mga susunod na mangyayari sa serye. Komento ng isa, “Dami talagang medical mission ni Doc Analyn! Gusto ko na tuloy panoorin ang eksenang kasama siya.”

Hirit naman ng isang viewer, “Nako, hindi pwedeng mamatay si Doc sa Black Rider kundi katapusan na rin ng kanyang mga pangarap.”

Bukod kay Doc Analyn, tutok din ang viewers sa pagdating ni Nimfa, ang karakter na ginagampanan ni Angeli Khang. Sey ng iba, mukhang magiging balakid siya sa love story nina Elias at Bane (Yassi Pressman). Tama kaya sila?

Marami pang mga pasabog ang dapat abangan kaya tutok lang sa Black Rider tuwing 8 p.m. sa GMA at 9:40 p.m. sa GTV.
