The podcast makes use of a FramingDevice of Mari recounting the supernatural events she encounters on the phone to her mother. The podcast is inspired by the likes of ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' and the trope of the MagicalMinorityPerson, but with the mission statement of putting the focus on said minority person, instead of relegating her to the background.

'''Hi Nay''' ("[[BilingualBonus Hi Mom]]") is a supernatural horror fictional podcast written by Motzie Dapul. It follows the Filipina-Canadian immigrant Mari Datuin, whose [[Myth/PhilippineMythology babaylan]] (religious and spiritual leader) family background accidentally gets her involved in stopping dangerous supernatural events in Toronto.

!!Hi Nay, some tropes happened today
* AllFirstPersonNarratorsWriteLikeNovelists: Rather blatantly, Mari talks like she has a script and theasaurus in front of her at all times, despite talking directly to her mother on the phone.
* BilingualBonus: The title of each episode is a Filipino word that relates to the supernatural threat of that episode. "Bulok" means "Rotten", and the threat is a flesh monster. "Ginaw" means "Cold", and the threat is a ghost that drains warmth, etc.
* BodyOfBodies: The rotten thing in the first episode was made from the amalgamated flesh of a human and a bunch of wildlife that got stuck in a pit and died together.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: The being in the second episode
* FramingDevice: Each episode consists of Mari telling her mother over the phone about her recent encounters with the supernatural.
* TheGhost: The titular mother is completely absent from the story, though Mari starts every episode by greeting her.
* SpiritualSuccessor: The podcast wears its ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' influences on its sleeves, complete with a normal person getting involved in the supernatural and an intentionally poor audio quality as a result of the framing device.
