About Faces Of History

FACES OF HISTORY is the podcast where legends lose their marble pedestals and real people emerge from the shadows of myth. Hosted by Thee Duke Of New York, each episode peels back the layers of the world’s most controversial, misunderstood, or larger-than-life figures — from traitors and tyrants to unsung heroes and rebels who changed everything. Forget dry lectures — this show brings you the raw truth, messy motives, hidden scandals, and untold stories that history class left out. Dive deep into the betrayals, ambitions, victories, and downfalls that turned ordinary humans into infamous names

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.
