Podcast Generation Pagod, hosted by Eryka Lucas and Ryan Tresplacios, is set to light up EDSA, Metro Manila’s busiest thoroughfare, with their billboard powered by Spotify. The duo, who have already topped the Philippine Spotify Podcast Chart with several episodes, owe their success to their devoted listeners. Launched on Spotify on April 2, 2024, Generation Pagod has become a beloved podcast, with its catchy tagline “We put the P in Thera-Py” describing its open discussion of life’s realities, particularly the ‘pagod’ moments.

Eryka and Ryan’s genuine, down-to-earth approach resonates deeply with their audience. As full-time workers, they get the daily grind and the struggles their listeners face, primarily millennials and older Gen Zs. The podcast prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming community for anyone needing a break after a long day. “Sa lahat ng kapaguran, kami ang magiging pahinga niyo,” they promise.

With over 31 million impressions and over 85 thousand plays on Spotify, the recently concluded first season has been a smash hit with its 12 episodes. Their eighth episode, ‘Generation Please,’ has the highest number of plays. The podcast can also be streamed on Facebook and YouTube via BlogaPlay’s channels.

The idea for ‘Generation Pagod’ was born after a particularly exhausting workday for Eryka and Ryan. “Noong nag-iisip kami kung anong podcast [topic] ang makaka-relate lahat, na-realize namin na ang common denominator ay lahat [ng tao] ay may kanya-kanyang pagod,” Eryka explained. Even though it was their first time working together, they found an instant connection through their shared experiences and struggles as young working adults.

Recording the podcast was therapeutic; it made me feel like two friends casually hanging out and sharing their stories. Their journeys laid the foundation for their collaboration.

What sets Eryka and Ryan apart is their professional hosting skills, authenticity, and honesty. “I elevate influence by being honest, by being authentic. Mas influential ka kapag nagpapakatotoo ka,” Eryka shared. “Trademark ko na rin sa sarili ko to be authentic,” Ryan added. They boldly tackle topics others might find awkward or difficult, ensuring each episode leaves listeners with valuable takeaways.

Their mission is to inspire others to overcome challenges by sharing their stories. “Gusto kong maging beacon of hope ang episodes,” Eryka expressed. They envision their podcast as a sanctuary for their listeners.

Eryka and Ryan gear up for Season 2, promising more personal touches and segments where listeners can send in their questions. The new season will also feature guest appearances, including some of their listeners. They also expressed their dream of collaborating with the ‘Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast’ and having guests like Davao Conyo, Fonz, and Mimiyuuuh on the show.

The duo attributes their success to their fantastic production team, loyal listeners, and the heartfelt stories they share. Their advice for aspiring podcasters? Be true to yourself and own your story. “Kung authentic ka sa content mo and the influence you provide to others, hindi ka mapapagod kasi ‘yun ka– wala kang pagpapanggap. This is purely just us enjoying our everyday lives,” Ryan shared. “Vulnerability is power,” he added.
