About Sip of the Iceberg

Greetings, fellow Earthicans, this podcast is for those interested in topics related to science, technology, history, philosophy, and the arts. This is not a deep dive podcast, rather a 'dip the toe' podcast for anyone who might not in any way relate to these topics in daily life, education, or job, but is still interested enough to learn and talk about. My goal here is to show people that there's something fascinating for everyone to ponder and get interested in, and perhaps get intrigued enough to delve deeper on your own. Please check the show-notes of the given episode to learn more.

4. Higher Dimensions - How to Visualize Them?

Oye, Inyalowda! Welcome to the fourth episode of the Sip of the Iceberg podcast. I'm here with the mind-bending discussion about higher dimensions.

3. Consciousness - Am 'I' my Brain?

Salvete! Fellow Earthicans, welcome to the third episode of the Sip of the Iceberg podcast. I'm here with a philosophical discussion about consciousness. Are 'you' your brain? Does your brain control 'you' or 'you' control your brain? Or is it one and the same thing?

2. UFOs - Is it Aliens or Something Else?

Aloha! fellow Earthicans, welcome to the second episode of my podcast series. This episode is for all those obsessed with UFOs, those who just want to know what the fuss is all about, and those who went to storm Area 51. Let me know in the comments what you think about UFOs/UAPs. Do you think they are aliens or something else?

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.
