About The Guardian Show

Join Ben Kovacs as he talks to the youth students, adult members, and instructors that comprise their growing and thriving community in Oakland. Hearing the diverse perspectives from different ages, genders, and backgrounds only cements one common theme...we are all struggling with something in our lives. Youth learning from adult’s failures and successes, and adults being able to understand what challenges youth are facing is at the heart of the Guardian mission.

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.
