About Dissent Lab

Vaclav Havel was a writer, human rights activist, and statesman who led Czechoslovakia’s 1989 Velvet Revolution. As 21st-century governments abandon democracy, people across the world are asking how to move forward. This podcast features conversations with contemporary dissidents who have faced imprisonment, torture, or exile, fighting to free their people from oppression and bring democracy to their homelands, and resisting authoritarianism at great personal cost. These are lessons that can't be learned in a history class. The Vaclav Havel Center presents this unforgettable series.

Jesus Armas - Venezuela

We're living a moment of extreme global turmoil now in the 21st century with too many governments turning away from human rights or the rights of their citizens and many activists and citizens wanting to know how to move forward and what to do next. So the idea for this series is simple. Speak to, listen to, and learn from activists around the globe who've played a critical role in fighting tyranny . At the end of March, we interviewed Jesus Armas, a Venezuelan opposition leader who was released from prison in February after 14 months in the jails of dictator Nicolas Maduro and his regime. On January 3, 2026, Armas was asleep inside Venezuela's most notorious prison. He heard a a huge explosion and was unaware that the Trump Administration ordered the capture of Maduro. He talks to host Peter Green about his escape, his past and how he plans to move his country forward. Armas ' story is bone chilling, but inspiring.

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.
