About Gadsby

In the heart of the early 20th century, fifty-year-old John Gadsby finds himself troubled by the decay of his beloved hometown, Branton Hills. Determined to revive the citys spirit, he inspires a group of passionate young residents to unite under the banner of the Organization of Youth, aiming to rejuvenate their community and elevate living standards. Despite facing opposition, Gadsby and his youthful allies embark on a transformative journey, reshaping Branton Hills from a stagnant town into a vibrant and thriving city. Spanning from around 1906 through World War I, Prohibition, and the era of President Warren G. Harding, Gadsby is not just a remarkable narrative; it is also a unique literary feat—a 50,000-word lipogram crafted without a single use of the letter E. Though it initially went unnoticed upon its release in 1939, modern critics have hailed it as probably the most ambitious work ever attempted in this genre. With physical copies of the book being exceedingly rare and fetching thousands of dollars, this story is a true gem for literature enthusiasts. (Summary by Availle and Wikipedia)

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.
