About AgriTalk: The Root Years Podcast

AgriTalk originated on August 1, 1994 when Ken Root keyed the microphone and introduced a rural affairs show that was not afraid of controversy. He hosted the daily hour at 10:00 am with colorful guests and callers that drove the content of the program. At times, Root was more of a referee than a conductor. Over the next seven years, AgriTalk dealt with many issues that faced Rural America. Some still resonate today. Ken has been given the opportunity to highlight shows that are exemplary of the issues of the 1990's. He has linked several of the topics of the last century with today. Listen in to remember how it was and how it is. kennetheroot.substack.com

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.
