Olivier | A Gypsy Workaholic in Bangkok

You just can’t keep up with a Hero. Olivier Dressen [https://www.olivierdressen.com/], aka Hero [https://www.olivierdressen.com/], is a multidisciplinary artist that just can’t stop working. “To be an artist is to be cursed,” he muses, and it’s clear that the curse of creativity will not let this Belgium-born Bangkok resident rest. From gypsy roots to indie film fame, Olivier has creative-directed multinational teams from Paris to Shanghai to LA and beyond. We talk financing your freedom to create what you want, directing actors solely based on raw emotion, and developing creative community wherever you go.

Urmi Hossain is the perfect brown girl. At least that's what her Bengali parents want her to be— and like many Southeast Asian women she still struggles against those rigid cultural norms.

Scammed Abroad | Part 2

In part one we introduced some of your juiciest scammer stories. But in part two we had to ask ourselves: were these ForeignOrs really scammed? Or did they just learn some tough lessons about life abroad? Judge for yourself as Dill gets arrested, Renzo gets off scot-free, and Bob continues to twist trust in a fairytale place called Nomadland.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
