That Sounds Holy S4E43 | Batman, Birthday Blues & Being a PK: Getting to Know Aio
Feast TV
Who are the people you're listening to?
We're trying something different for Episode 43: we're interviewing each other! Over the next few episodes, we'll be reintroducing ourselves for everyone who's new here (hi, welcome!) and for those who've been with us from the start. First in the hot seat: Aio.

In this episode, we talk about:
- What his name means (Bisaya roots, tied to "maayo," or good) and whether a name feels like pressure or encouragement
- Having a birthday on December 20, and the "big sad" that comes when birthday blues meet Christmas blues
- The legendary Batman costume, and why he called it "Mamats"
- Growing up a batang kalye in Bulacan, studying at Ateneo, and being an only child for 14 years before his sister arrived (yes, there were happy tears)
- What it's really like to be a PK (preacher's kid): the perks, the pressure, and whether the "rebellious phase" is a myth
- The moment he realized faith couldn't just be his parents' story, and his decision to surrender his life to Jesus for himself
- How he fell in love with worship, and how it led to preaching
- Having many gifts (music, painting, dancing, instruments, mentoring) and the hard question of which one to nurture
- Why his personal music is on hold: "set it aside, but don't bury it"
This one's for you if: you grew up in church and are figuring out what your own faith looks like, you're juggling a lot of gifts and interests and don't know what to prioritize, or the "ber months" hit you harder than you expect. You're not alone.
