Episode 11 -- Vince Golangco

Where Ya At? SDSU's Journalism and Media Studies podcast

Vince Golangco (Class of 2008) was a high school dropout who joined the military because his friends in Texas did, fell in love in San Diego when stationed in the city, and used the free education from being in the military to attend SDSU because he didn’t want to leave the city.

After college, he wanted to get back to his family roots and travel the world, so he moved to the Philippines and continued writing a number of blogs. Utilizing his Journalism writing skills and knowledge of SEO, he started the website www.wheninmanila.com, which has grown to a staff of 15 and is the biggest online magazine/blog in the country.
Vince shares his fascinating story about creating lifestyle content, his target audience, how a business fraternity on campus changed his life, advice on getting out of your comfort zone, plans for expansion, and why when people ask about where he went to college he simply says, “the same place Kawhi Leonard attended.”

"Where Ya At?" is a podcast focused on the School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University. Each week, during the Fall and Spring semesters, host Josh Suchon (Class of 1996) interviews alumni to learn about their experiences as college students, entering the workforce, key steps in their professional development, advice they'd give to current students, and details about how they covered a specific story.
