La Platicast is an episodic podcast produced in both audio and video formats.

Through candid dialogue, La Platicast explores themes including (but not limited to) masculinity, identity, art, culture, community, and self-expression.Rather than positioning itself as a space for definitive answers, La Platicast invites multiple perspectives and lived truths. Each episode centers curiosity, reflection, and exchange—honoring the idea that understanding is often communal, evolving, and contextual.HostsCarlos Contreras Host PhD Candidate, University of New Mexico Chicana/Chicano Studies ProgramCarlos Contreras is a poet, educator, artist, and community-based cultural worker whose practice centers dialogue, creative production, and collective inquiry.

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.
