Epic Podcast
A Filipino podcast featuring long-form, philosophical interviews with experts and practitioners across a wide range of unconventional fields.
This is a long-form interview show where host Baste Lim has deep, often philosophical conversations with Filipino experts, artists, and entrepreneurs. Episodes explore the guest's craft, life philosophy, and personal journey, often starting with broad, foundational questions before diving into specific processes and origin stories. The tone is respectful and inquisitive, creating a space for guests to share their expertise at length, sometimes in a 'masterclass' format.
“Epic Podcast stands out for its eclectic guest list, putting a pig farmer, a painter, and a public speaking coach on equal footing. Its commitment to foundational, almost Socratic questioning about the nature of a guest's craft gives it a uniquely philosophical and educational tone compared to more personality-driven talk shows.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Baste Lim begins his interviews with broad, philosophical questions to frame the conversation, such as asking a painter "For you, what really is art?". He is a deferential and patient interviewer, allowing guests to speak at length, as seen in the 'masterclass' episode with a pig farming expert. He probes for origins ("Do you remember the very first art piece you made?") and the moment of professional self-identification ("When did you accept for yourself that you are an artist?"). To get actionable advice, he asks for specific techniques ("Technically, how does one become good at selling?") and common mistakes to avoid. His questions often explore the intersection of the guest's personal feelings and their professional conduct.
The show is a single-host interview format led by Baste Lim, who introduces himself and the show at the start of each episode. He is often deferential to his guests, using honorifics like 'Kuya'. Episodes are recorded in-studio, sometimes with visual elements like a guest drawing or using a whiteboard. An Associate Producer, Jimbert de Belen, is consistently credited and was once listed as a co-host.
