Following its August 16, 2026, debut, Beyond the Brand marks a new chapter for Brigiding as a host, storyteller, and conversationalist. While The Brand centered on the personal stories and experiences that shaped its guests, Beyond the Brand takes those conversations further, using their stories as a springboard to explore broader concepts, ideas, and topics that extend beyond the individual.

“I love hearing people’s stories because you never really know what someone has gone through to become who they are. With Beyond the Brand, I want to go beyond that story and talk about the things we can take from it. Something we can relate to, learn from, or carry with us,” said Brigiding. “Kasi kahit iba-iba tayo ng pinagdadaanan, I think there’s always something in someone’s story that can make us feel seen, make us think, or maybe even make us look at our own experiences differently.”

The podcast will also bring in personalities and perspectives outside the drag community, opening up conversations that resonate with Brigiding’s audience while offering new ideas, connections, and lessons from experiences outside the world of drag.
The show launched with its first episode, “Beyond the Confidence With Minty Fresh,” featuring fellow Drag Race Philippines queen Minty Fresh. The premiere sets the tone for the conversations to come: honest, engaging, personal, and willing to look beyond what audiences already know about each guest.
Beyond podcasting, Brigiding continues to expand her creative work beyond the drag stage, building spaces centered on entertainment, community, storytelling, and connection. Beyond the Brand serves as another platform for her to bring people together through conversations that are both entertaining and meaningful.
Beyond the Brand is now available on YouTube and Spotify.
