Are dead wasps actually found in figs? - Carolyn Beans

Dig into the close relationship between figs and wasps, and find out if it's normal and safe for bugs to be in our food. -- In 2023, a US grocer recalled over 10,000 cases of broccoli-cheddar soup over concerns they contained too much of an unintended ingredient. That ingredient? Bugs. We know insects regularly come into contact with our food— but how many are you actually eating? And is it okay? Carolyn Beans takes a look at figs and their conspicuously close bond with wasps. Lesson by Carolyn Beans, directed by Denys Spolitak.

How to reveal your best ideas

Episode 2: Uncover your best ideas by exploring your unique experiences, interests, and perspective. -- This is episode 2 of the animated series, “Public Speaking 101.” Ideas change everything — and since language lets us share our ideas, learning how to use it well gives speakers the power to inspire people and even change how they think. This 11-episode course will teach you how to identify, develop, and share your best ideas, while mastering essential communication skills along the way. Directed by Tolga Yıldız, Kozmonot Animation Studio. The TED-Ed Student Talks program provides free, customizable activities for educators to support their students in identifying, developing and sharing their ideas with each other and the world.

episode Why are US cities still so segregated? - Kevin Ehrman-Solberg and Kirsten Delegard artwork

Why are US cities still so segregated? - Kevin Ehrman-Solberg and Kirsten Delegard

Discover the dark history of the American suburbs, and how practices like racial covenants restricted access to home ownership for people of color. -- Beginning in the 1800s, people began writing clauses into property deeds that were meant to prevent all future owners from selling or leasing to certain racial groups, especially Black people. These racial covenants spread like wildfire throughout the US, making cities more segregated and the suburbs more restricted. Kevin Ehrman-Solberg and Kirsten Delegard explore the legacy of these practices. Lesson by Kevin Ehrman-Solberg and Kirsten Delegard, directed by Sofia Pashaei.

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.
