About History & the Horse

History and the Horse was an idea that came about one evening on the living room couch as we chatted about the incredibly unique role of the horse as it relates to human history. Fact is, we humans wouldn’t be where we are without the horse. Human history owes much of its progress to the horse. Thus the phrase, “The history of mankind was written on the back of a horse.” Along the way there have been so many incredible stories of some remarkable horses and horse owning humans. It’s those horses (and humans) that are the stars of our show. The historical horse stories both iconic and well known, and the lesser known but equally deserving.

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.
