About A Cure for the Common Podcast: A WWF 1997 Retrospective

In 1997, Vince McMahon's WWF was at a crossroads. With Ted Turner's WCW and its nWo storyline dominating the legendary Monday Night Ratings War, the WWF found itself in the unfamiliar territory of having to fight from behind to become the number one promotion again. History shows us that they were successful, but Tom Hemmings and Kellen Scrivens decided to take a long, hard, and thorough look of how it happened. What worked, what didn't, and how does it all hold up today?

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.
