About Rough Estimate

Rough Estimate is a literature and media podcast started by two writers interested in thinking about topics not frequently discussed on other media platforms. We talk about topics such as literature, futurism, spirituality, and culture. The blog was started by two journalists as a passion project, one in the UK, and one in China. Intro credit goes to Lobo Loco under creative commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Our articles can be found on our blog Rough Estimate at https://www.roughestimate.org/ All opinions are our own and not reflective of any platform or third party.

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.
