Episode 215 - 00s Pop Music and Generosity

For the entire month of May, your Halo Halo podcast hosts continue to mine the pop culture vault.   In their latest foray, they uncover pop music in the 2000s and revisit the maturing of teen pop idols of the 1990s, the triumph and victory of R&B music on the charts, and the acceleration of pop music fame in the latter half of the decade.  Find out which song Jezzie believes is the quintessential 2010s R&B track, and which Rihanna song haunted Sigi throughout a Las Vegas trip he took in the 2000s. Later, Sigi and Jezzie delve deeper into how generosity is an expression of Filipino hospitality and explore ways of sustaining this cherished cultural value.
