The Testimony Project, Pt. 1: Theater as a Witness to Our Times with Frank Wood & Emily Adler

Recorded May 15, 2025 In this episode of the HB Insight Series, we explore the recent workshop Testimony: Theater as a Witness to Our Times, part of the Witness to History: The Testimony Project supported by the Noël Coward Foundation.

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.
