About The Disaster Response

Each episode tells the story of a different natural disaster and its aftermath. Hosts Paul and Josiah have several years’ experience working and volunteering on disaster recovery programs worldwide – but only Paul knows what the topic will be before the episode starts. We hope to educate, entertain, and spread appreciation for the power of natural disasters, the process of recovery, and the impact a disaster can have on the community where it strikes.

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.
