About The BEAT

Hosted by criminologist and educator Dr. Lori L. Hall, The BEAT is a podcast that dives into the complex, controversial, and often misunderstood world of policing. Through in-depth conversations with officers, community leaders, scholars, and justice-impacted individuals, this series explores the challenges and opportunities facing law enforcement today. From use of force and body cams to trust-building, reform, and mental health, The BEAT takes a critical yet constructive look at the role police play in society—and what it takes to transform that role for the better. @Inside_TheBEAT

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.
