Cults - Branch Davidians - Seeds of the Apocalypse

Host Ava Grey delivers a meticulously researched deep dive into the six-decade history that preceded the Waco tragedy, tracing how the Branch Davidians evolved from a 1935 splinter group through repeated prophetic failures, violent leadership struggles, and escalating apocalyptic fervor that ultimately set the stage for David Koresh's rise to power.

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.
