About Customs & Cocktails

Customs & Cocktails, a podcast hosted by Shawn Beddows and Andrew Farrelly, two longtime customs professionals who’ve seen the good, the bad, and the baffling sides of global trade. This podcast started with a simple idea: ❝What if we had a space to talk candidly about Customs - news, challenges, real-life scenarios, and yes, the things that make us want to vent over a drink?❞

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.
