Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”, is a supernatural horror audio drama about Filipina immigrant Mari Datuin, whose babaylan (shaman) family background accidentally gets her involved in stopping dangerous supernatural events in Toronto — alongside two supernatural detectives, her 6’2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor, and a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers.

Season 1 of Hi Nay follows their mission to stop the Elders, a group of early 1900s rich immortal occultists, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci — especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody is able to remember his face or name.

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

i always get super frustrated when I'm engaging with media if I don't feel like they have the proper weight given to like. repeated and prolonged periods of intense exertion and/or suffering and/or distress.

what i don't mean is that i think everyone should be screaming and wailing all the time. the thing is that like actually in times of crisis things are really properly like that sometimes. you really do just find this ability in yourself to keep going on. to keep moving forward. because the alternative is sometimes that you will literally die if you don't keep moving. there is no choice.

but this isn't a consequence-less mechanism. the ability to keep moving in a crisis is not a good or positive thing. those perspective-altering shifts have happened whether you acknowledge them or not and the longer you have to ignore them, the sharper the edges get, the more sliced up your sense of self becomes, the more that splatters out of you with every step you take.

and then, when you stop and rest. in a moment of pause and safety. you expect it to be pleasant but it's not. all that stuff you've been carrying with you, that has grown heavier with every step you've taken as you've forced yourself to keep moving because you have no other choice. it's still there. you brought it with you. you had to. there was no other choice about that either.

when you redress those wounds, the bandages are going to take the scabs with them. that moment of pause is filled with washing off old dirt to find you're more injured than you realised.

the keeping on is necessary. but it's the pauses, the brief respites, where you really feel the pain.

and I don't feel like I see enough of that.

The audio drama community really be like “this podcast emotionally wrecked me, I have no tears left, I will never be the same again, these characters yeah they go through terrible shit and cant be happy for over a minute, i am in severe emotional turmoil, so go listen to this podcast 11/10 do recommend” and I love it

Show Update:

We have a family member undergoing open heart surgery this week so my household is doing a lot of planning and prep, physically and mentally. Due to this tomorrow's episode will be delayed until Tues, the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you so much for your patience. For clarity, they are going to be on a 48-hour constant watch cycle afterwards and the reality of it is that this will come down to my partner and I alternating this time between us while also tending to the rest of our family, and my job. Cuz Capitalism don't stop.

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
