EPISODE 18: BOSSY BABIES, TALKING ANIMALS AND DEADLY BATHS | The Epic Tale of Lam-Ang
In this episode, we brush up on our high-school Panitikan to tackle one of the major epics in Philippine literature: the tale of child-prodigy turned avenger turned romantic hero, BIAG NI LAM-ANG.
Treat this as your SparkNotes version of the epic tale—and follow us through strange pregnancy cravings, overachieving child-prodigies, magical talking animals and an unnecessarily deadly bath turned environmental disaster.
All this, of course, sprinkled on top of a heroic tale of vengeance, honor, magic, and love.
