About Symposium (version 2) (dramatic reading)

Join us as we delve into one of Platos most engaging dialogues, where Apollodorus recounts a lively drinking party, or symposium, attended by the intellectual elite of late 5th century Athens. Set against the backdrop of a two-night celebration for Agathons triumph at the city Dionysia, the guests choose to honor love through eloquent speeches instead of indulging in more wine. Experience this dramatic interpretation, featuring a talented cast that brings these timeless ideas to life. - Summary by Libby Gohn Cast List Apollodorus KHandGlaucon Elizabeth KlettCompanion to Apollodorus, and Pausanias Beth ThomasAristodemus ToddHWSocrates alanmapstoneAgathon Peter TuckerServant staticstasyAristophanes Libby GohnEryximachus balaPhaedrus Eden Rea-HedrickDiotima Anna SimonAlcibiades Chuck Williamson Edited by Libby Gohn

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.
