#11 - Why doesn’t a revolution happen in Iran? - by LoveHumanity

Explore the complexities of modern hybrid regimes and their paradoxical strategies of control, using the Islamic Republic as a case study. In this episode, we dive deep into the anatomy of these quasi-democratic, authoritarian systems that thrive on ideological flexibility, managed dissent, and societal atomization. How does public frustration coexist with societal passivity? What role do crises play in preserving state power? Join us as we analyze the interplay of civil resistance, systemic corruption, and the pursuit of genuine democracy in the face of enduring oppression.

#10 - Deeply spiritual and atheist - by Jan Bryxi

"Why Do People Struggle to Leave Faith? This episode explores the psychological, emotional, and social factors that tie humans to religion, from pattern recognition in the brain to the moral structure and community it provides. We also dive into the nuanced world of rational atheism, where some embrace religious rituals for their cultural, ethical, or psychological value. Can you be spiritual without belief in the supernatural? Discover how reason, spirituality, and culture coexist in this thought-provoking discussion."

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.
