About Historical Figures, Icons, and Others

While all human history is the product of infinite moving parts, there always stands notable figures who reflected certain eras and whose legacies transcend generations. The greatest trailblazers from Canada and abroad were complex human beings with personal understandings of the world as they knew it. Other icons were also fictional characters that resonated with audiences across generations. While the names of many of these cultural icons will be easily recognized, Historical Figures, Icons, and Others strives to offer fresh perspectives on their legacies in today’s world.

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.
