About Creative Mode

Creativity is resistance. In a world where the lines between art and output grow increasingly blurry, how can we preserve our human creativity? From pop culture to indie movements, each week I discuss imagination-generated content and the real life inspiration behind it. This is Creative Mode.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance proves music is a universal language

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2555894/fan_mail/new] Music connects us all. For all of human history, music has been a staple across cultures, languages and borders. As one of the oldest forms of entertainment, music allows us to express ourselves, share stories, and celebrate in creative ways. Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl 60 halftime show was filled to the brim with cultural symbolism reflecting his Puerto Rican heritage, language and culture. This inspired me to resume my previously abandoned language learning goals. Hop in for this quick bonus episode where I tell you why I think it's the perfect time, and never too late. angelazomaya.com/podcast [http://angelazomaya.com/podcast]  Creative Mode is a weekly show about pop culture and creativity.

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.
