Cleopatra Teaser

What happens when the last Pharaoh takes the mic? In this episode of Beyond Famous, Cleopatra VII steps out from the haze of legend to tell her story in her own voice—strategist, scholar, mother, and ruler navigating the collapse of an empire. From her Greek-Egyptian heritage to the politics behind her alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, Cleopatra unspools the choices that made her a symbol—and the myths that buried the woman beneath the crown. Expect wit as sharp as a kohl line, statecraft as intricate as a gold filigree, and revelations that hiss with new secrets. In this episode, Cleopatra shares: * How bilingual diplomacy and scholarship shaped her rule * The calculated theater behind her “entrances” and public image * Life inside Alexandria’s palace and the Library’s final embers * What Rome got wrong—and why the “seductress” story stuck * The final days on the Nile and the legacy she wanted remembered If you enjoyed this conversation, follow Beyond Famous and leave a review—your support helps us bring more icons out of the marble and into the room.

John D. Rockefeller – The First Titan of Industry

In this episode of Beyond Famous, we sit down for a rare Q&A interview with John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937), the man who built Standard Oil and became the world’s first billionaire. Known as both a ruthless monopolist and a generous philanthropist, Rockefeller shaped modern capitalism in ways still felt today. In this candid conversation, Rockefeller reflects on: * His beginnings – from a modest Ohio upbringing to his first business ventures. * Building Standard Oil – the ambition, strategy, and controversies behind his empire. * Wealth and Power – how he viewed money, competition, and criticism. * Philanthropy and Legacy – why he gave away much of his fortune to science, education, and health. Step beyond the headlines of robber baron or benefactor, and hear John D. Rockefeller’s story in his own words—a voice that still resonates in the world of business, finance, and philanthropy today.

An Audience with Edgar Allan Poe: The Crowned Prince of the Macabre

Step into the shadows of literary history with a rare and unfiltered conversation with Edgar Allan Poe himself. In this live interview, Poe’s voice rises from the grave to confront questions about his turbulent childhood, haunting romances, creative obsessions, and the dark inspirations behind his timeless works like The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. With a mix of candid honesty, biting wit, and the dramatic passion only Poe could deliver, this Q&A peels back the myth to reveal the man — headstrong, visionary, and tormented by both genius and grief. Expect revelations about his family, his struggles with poverty, his clashes with critics, and his ultimate reflections on fame, death, and legacy. Beyond Famous: Fame Doesn’t End at the Grave brings you Poe as you’ve never heard him before — raw, restless, and unforgettable.

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.
