About Civics Bits

Our young people are the future voters and leaders of their community, state, and nation. To be knowledgeable voters and effective leaders, each of them needs to understand how to be a good citizen and, importantly, why that matters. Civics Bits is one way to support teachers and families in the important task of ensuring that this learning is not left to chance. The purpose of this podcast is to explore citizenship topics in manageable chunks that are appropriate for elementary-aged students.

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.
