You asked to leave out a tagline, so the small chips under her name use facts instead. Adding a one-liner later is a one-line change.

About

Hi, I'm Genesis.

I tell ghost stories, and I take them seriously. I host Too Many Ghosts Nowadays, Mediacorp's weekly horror podcast, where I bring you chilling tales from Singapore and beyond.

I started on my own. At 21, while studying at NUS Business School, I produced my horror series Hell's Incroyables myself. In January 2024 it won Mediacorp's first Be a Podcastar talent hunt, against nine other finalists.

The prize included an exclusive podcast partnership with Mediacorp. That's how Too Many Ghosts Nowadays began. I've since graduated, and I'm still telling stories every Tuesday.
