episode Woke Art Doesn't Exist. Here's What Does: artwork

Woke Art Doesn't Exist. Here's What Does:

🚨In this episode, I break down why Trump’s war on woke art is a manufactured talking point, how revolutionary works have always faced backlash, and why art is essential—not just for entertainment, but for progress. From Shakespeare to A Doll’s House to Angels in America, history has shown us that art that provokes today becomes canon tomorrow. We also dive into the real origins of “woke” (spoiler: it’s not what conservatives think it is). Join me for this passionate, no-holds-barred conversation on why artists should never back down. 🎭 What are your thoughts?

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.
