Abstract

This research explores the impact of podcasts on millennial engagement with Islamic teachings, investigating how this digital medium influences religious education, community-building, and identity formation. Through interviews, surveys, and content analysis, the study reveals that podcasts play a significant role in enhancing accessibility to Islamic knowledge, offering millennials a flexible and personalized avenue for learning and exploration. Diverse content preferences among millennials highlight the importance of tailoring podcast content to meet the varied needs of the audience, ranging from theological discussions to practical advice on applying Islamic principles. Moreover, Islamic podcasts foster online communities where millennials connect, seek guidance, and engage in religious discourse, strengthening their commitment to faith and promoting social connection. Trust in podcast hosts and content creators emerges as a key factor influencing millennials' engagement and shaping their religious beliefs. Furthermore, podcasts featuring global perspectives contribute to intercultural understanding and appreciation for the diversity within the Muslim community. While podcasts offer numerous benefits for millennial engagement with Islamic teachings, challenges such as content quality and misinformation underscore the importance of addressing these issues to maximize the educational value and impact of Islamic podcasts in the digital age.

Abstract

This study examines the emergence of humor and satire as a new form of political language within the digital culture of the Philippines. It aims to understand how political memes, parody videos, and satirical content function as instruments of political articulation in a society shaped by Catholic values, colonial legacies, and strong oral traditions. Employing a qualitative literature-based analysis, this research synthesizes findings from academic journals, scholarly books, and digital documents to explore the socio-political roles of digital humor. The findings reveal that digital humor serves not merely as entertainment but as a cultural strategy for negotiating power, fostering political solidarity, and expressing collective identity. It enables citizens to criticize authority and address social issues indirectly, aligning with Filipino communication norms of pakikisama (social harmony) and hiya (shame/honor). The study argues that digital humor is fundamentally ambivalent, it can act as a tool of resistance and emancipation while also reinforcing political propaganda and disinformation. This duality underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches to better understand the complex interplay between digital culture, political participation, and socio-cultural characteristics in postcolonial contexts like the Philippines.
