About Sweet and Sour

ICRT’s Hope Ngo and Jane Lee discuss issues which women view as both "Sweet and Sour" -- issues which are both thought-provoking and giggle-inducing. They look at issues which directly relate to life as a modern woman: juggling pressures that have an impact on personal well-being, life, and family; they also look at interesting aspects of life in Taiwan: the place we call home. Men will be invited to take part in the chats… but they need to check their mansplaining at the door. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Thanks to the Gender Equality in Employment Act, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal in the workplace. But as ICRT's Jane Lee discovers, banning discrimination -- at least in the work place -- hasn't made it any easier for women to move forward, particularly when it comes to sports. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn [https://www.soundon.fm/]

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.
