About IMAGE The Motherload

IMAGE The Motherload is a space where modern motherhood is explored with honesty, humour and heart. Each week, join host Dominique McMullan as she invites inspiring mums you know and love to share stories, laugh at the chaos and dive into the real talk about working motherhood and everything it entails. Because let's be real - we hold hands, hold meetings, hold it together (sometimes brilliantly, sometimes barely) but we don't do it alone.

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.
