Behind the mic
Two independent podcast projects, two very different rooms: a solo true-crime storytelling show, and a collaborative series on South Sulawesi's Bugis culture.
Cloudpod
Narrating thoughts, one true story at a time — a solo podcast retelling real criminal cases and everyday phenomena in a documentary-style voice.
My role: writer, narrator, and audio editor. I also designed the cover art for every episode.
Follow on Spotify ↗Mama Minta Pulsa 4.0
The classic "please top up my phone credit" scam never really disappeared — it just got a software update. This episode traces how the old trick evolved alongside new platforms and social‑engineering tactics, and why it still works on people who think they're too careful to fall for it.
Listen on Spotify ↗Pornografi Membunuh Bocah 10 Tahun
A true-crime episode revisiting a real case from Bandung in November 2021, where a child's death was linked to exposure to explicit content. It's a heavy listen, told as a reminder of how urgently children need supervision in a digital world that reaches them faster than most parents realize.
Listen on Spotify ↗Si Paling Update
A lighter, more reflective episode on what it actually means to "keep up with the times" — beyond just knowing the latest trend or meme. A gentle nudge to stay relevant without losing yourself chasing every passing wave of internet culture.
Listen on Spotify ↗PMBM Kareba
A cultural audio series exploring the unique traditions of South Sulawesi, with a focus on the Bugis people.
My role: script writer, audio editor, and the one who published every episode to Spotify. I also designed the cover art for every episode; voice over by Lucyana.
Follow on Spotify ↗Pinisi Warisan Suku Bugis
The Pinisi is more than a boat — it's proof the Bugis mastered the open sea with nothing but wood, rope, and generations of shipbuilding knowledge. This episode breaks down what makes it unique: two main masts and seven sails arranged with precision, three at the bow, two amidships, two at the stern.
Listen on Spotify ↗Cara Unik Suku Bugis Pindah Rumah
Moving house usually means the people move, not the building. In Bugis tradition it can be the opposite: the whole wooden house is physically lifted and carried to a new location, a communal effort that says a lot about how the Bugis relate to their homes and their neighbors.
Listen on Spotify ↗Syukur Petani dalam Tradisi Mappadendang
There are many ways to give thanks. When the Bugis harvest runs abundant, they hold a ceremony of gratitude to the Creator — one built around a rhythmic ritual of pounding a wooden mortar together until the beats settle into something like music.
