About Open Books at the Fox Center

This podcast is for anyone with a curious mind who wants the inside scoop on new research in the humanistic disciplines: history, literature, philosophy, anthropology, media studies, gender studies, cultural studies, religious studies, and more. Each episode, we talk to researchers who are working at the cutting edge of their disciplines to learn about the books they’re writing, the questions that drive them, and the findings they hope we’ll take away. Many of the books discussed in this podcast have been supported by the Digital Publishing in the Humanities initiative, which means you can read them online for free.

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.
