About Down Periscope, Up Periscope: Tales of Submarine Tours

The unofficial podcast of the tour guides on USS Blueback (SS-581). Join us for an adventure beneath the waves on the U.S. Navy's last diesel-electric attack submarine; a permanent exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). We discuss the tours, technology, and history of Blueback and submarine history, in general. Everything from the lighthearted, the serious, and the salty.

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.
