About Talismans of migration

Toxic debates around migration overlook the fact that it takes enormous courage to upsticks and travel thousands of miles to begin a new life in a foreign land. Migration may be a passport to a better future, but what do you leave behind when you migrate to a new country, and what do you carry with you physically and emotionally wherever you land? Nine writers with migrant backgrounds reveal the secrets of their talismans of migration.

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.
