S87 E11: The Bartered Soul
About this Episode
In a small coastal town in the Visayas, power and legacy are more than just names on banners—they are woven into the very fabric of the community. When a young journalist returns home to care for her ailing father, she begins uncovering unsettling patterns behind the success of a long-standing family dynasty. Stories whispered in shadows speak of a mysterious creature said to be kept in jars, a symbol of hidden bargains and the price of power.
This episode explores the complex intersection of folklore, influence, and the unseen costs borne by those living under dynasties that never seem to fall. Through personal accounts and local legends, we examine how myths can reflect harsh realities, and how silence can become the most dangerous currency of all.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive themes including coercion, violence, and exploitation.
Join us as we navigate a story where history, belief, and power collide — and discover what happens when some disappearances cannot be explained away.If you have a story to share or want to support this podcast, please check the show notes for details.
